In this week’s Top Topics, we feature a poll asking whether your year so far has been successful in terms of domain sales. Elsewhere, we discuss first and last name domains, and an investor asks whether a company can be too successful to need a great domain name?
First Name and Last Name Domains
First and last name domain names are undeniably popular. The names are often popular for personal blogs, portfolios, or as front-facing brands.
So, is there a market for this kind of domain? If so, what’s the sweet spot for sales and do you invest in them? If you’re curious about this type of domain, this is a discussion that you should be reading.

Should Google Have Picked Another Name for Their Project?
Recently, Google unveiled a new project called Keen. In short, Keen is a rival for Pinterest and instead of creating a “board,” as you’d do on Pinterest, you create a “Keen.”
Aside from the obvious terrible pinboard branding itself, should Google have picked another brand name for its service? The domain Keen.com is already developed, as described in this article, and likely not available to acquire. Google has previously acquired .COM domains used by their services including Android.com.

If the Business Is Good, Does the Domain Matter?
It’s a simple question. Does the domain name really matter if the business is thriving? This question came from an investor stumbling across Andreessen Horowitz’s website, A16Z.com. For those unaware, Andreessen Horowitz is one of the top venture capital firms in existence, with tens of successful exits to their name.
However, it does operate on A16Z.com rather than trying to acquire something like AH.com. That leads to the question, are some companies so successful that a domain doesn’t matter?

Poll: How Is Your 2020 So Far, Sales Wise?
We’re now halfway through 2020. Although with so much having already happened, it may be surprising to you that we’re only halfway through the year. Nonetheless, it’s an opportune time to reflect on the year so far.
In this week’s featured poll, you’re asked to disclose how your 2020 is going so far, in terms of domain sales. As of writing, the results are scattered but the clear majority so far have revealed that both sales and sales prices have been higher.
