Elite LLL.com holders--Portfolios worth $100k+


A scan on 10/21/06 yielded the following number of domains registered to a particular email address.

This scan was sponsored by: www.4rchitect.com

Points to consider when interpreting the data:
  • This scan was imperfect due to whois privacy and one particularly large registrar blocking proxy whois queries for email addresses. In total, all 17576 LLL.com domains were scanned, but only 8753 came back with email results. This means that the scan only came back with apporximately 50% valid results. Please keep in mind the remaining 8823 domains may yield other email addresses that have large LLL.com portfolios or more domains registered to a particular email address that is already listed below.
  • While it is understood many LLL.com have values that far exceed $3,500, I have used this dollar value as a conservative mark of what an average LLL.com may be worth on a reseller's market.
  • An individual with a smaller portfolio may actually have a more valuable portfolio than someone who has a larger portfolio if the smaller portfolio has better letter quality.

Yep - he has thousands of LLL.com LLL.info LLL.biz

"Heading into the last week of February 2004, there were still thousands of threes available in .info and .biz (the best combinations were gone but as long as any lingered their very availability was a stigma for the entire extension as far as many investors were concerned). Then things literally changed overnight. On Monday, Feb. 23, the last available three-letter .info domains suddenly disappeared."

"He already held thousands of three-letter .coms, .nets and .orgs before claiming about 2,500 three-letter .infos and the 4,600 .biz. Adding those .biz domains to the 200 three-letter names he already had from the 2001 land rush gives him close to 30% of the world supply!. "

I'm guessing that there are many 3 letter domains worth more than $3,132,500. My gut feeling is that an average 3 letter domain at $3500 is very low. Over 70% of 3 letter domains have at least two premium letters. Personally, I would multiply these figures by at least 2.

You are right and that is why I prefaced the post stating the fact the $3500 is a very conservative estimate (even on a reseller's market).

I can't get my head around the whole LLL.com thing to be honest

I can only really see the actual value in them as acronyms for company names etc (big value) but - why do people that have loads of money and will not ever sell them want them so much ?

Yes the may get alot of traffic but does that traffic actually convert to clicks ?

Just how would anyone know what they were looking for in order to have decent ads for them to click on ?

Are they valuable only because they are so rare and if so does this make them usefull though or just an under used trophy ?

The big thing about a 3 letter domain is it is easy to remember. What I consider significant about this is that an easy to remember name results in a higher response rate to an advertising campaign as the market that you advertise to is less likely to forget who advertised to them.

Lets say you are a company and your marketing costs for the next 3 years are expected to be $20 million. Typically your market has a response rate of 0.7% if you use a hard to remember name and 0.6% if you use a hard to remember name. Now if that $20 million brings in $30 million in revenue (after sales costs) with a 0.6% response rate how much revenue would a 0.7% response rate bring?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=250424

$35 million. An increase of $5 million. It doesn't stop there there is now an extra $5 million to reinvest. This has an exponential effect on the effectiveness of marketing business for the life of the business. The higher response rate in marketing would definately means for example the domain name is worth millions.

You may think that this is quite extreme but I don't. I know of one group who call themselves KFC when they used to call themselves "Kentucky Fried Chicken". I know of another group who call themselves NAB when they used to call themselves "National Australia Bank". I know of other cases as well. This act of a large company reinventing themselves to their 3 letter acronym name often costs the company tens or hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. In hindsite they realise the lost business they have because their name is easily forgotten.

It's not just reponse rate in marketing. It's maintaining customers as well. A company can lose very good customers just because they have a complex business name. It's not just forgetting, you can lose a customer to a spelling mistake. This is extremely frustrating with email addresses. You tell a customer your email address over the phone and they put in one letter wrong and get upset at you for not responding.

$3500 is nothing to a lot of companies and a lot of wealthy people. Increased response rate in marketing is often a lot bigger consideration in the value of a three letter domain than type-in traffic. Many investors are happy to wait for the $XXX,XXX+ offers because there is a good chance that with enough time, somebody will be willing to pay that. In addition the competition between LLL.com investors to own large collections is growing and giving steady growth in values of the domains.

I can only really see the actual value in them as acronyms for company names etc (big value)

but -

why do people that have loads of money and will not ever sell them want them so much ?

Great post Vurg I do realise the value of them regarding SELLING to end users/businesses and the benefits of a short easy to remember domain when it comes to marketing but alot of the people that have thousands of LLL 's eg. Elequa state that they are NOT FOR SALE and so few ever get developed.

I just question how a random LLL.com can be suitably monetised for domain parking - as you would basically have no idea what the person is looking for.

They cost alot to buy but do they produce a good return in PPC ?

Thanks, Rep added
