I also agree with their rejects particularly majority of the ones that have been posted on this thread.after reviewing this thread i should say that i found that in 99% i agree with BB on their "rejects"
...what i keep continually being surprised by is approx. 80% of their "accepts"
how much do they sell in a year as a percentage of their whole inventory?
wondering if they earn more from listing + logo fees than from domain sales
"ok, we need to pay our office rent again so lets accept some 1,000 of random stuff to quickly raise $10,000 by the end of this month" sort of things?
Would love to present some names here and ask BB to explain why on earth they were accepted.
Some of these names sound/look ridiculously funny.A lot were accepted when BrandBucket allowed huge portfolios from invited sellers. When you're accepting 1,000's to beef up your marketplace, you don't care so much about the quality, but about the 1,000 brandables that somebody agreed to list exclusively with their marketplace. They did not pay $10,000 to have the domains published. This helps growth. Some of these domains are eventually dropped. I've picked up a few, and had them relisted for free. This is yet another way to avoid paying listing fee's. I wish I had the complete list of BB's inventory so I could monitor it for drops, but I'm not an insider. I have to use cached reports from DomainIQ to monitor NameServer changes to play this game.
I've also seen days where Michael Krell scrapes the lists of dropped BB domains, and registers several in one da. Don't believe me? Check any of the following domains. Notice the reg data, and an Archive.org screenshot date. You'll find the registered date is after BrandBuckets published date. All of the following domains were dropped (not sure when they dropped) and registered by Michael Krell in the same day.

None of the above domains have sold yet.
Once they are dropped (that is, no longer registered) but still listed for sale on BB mainly because the domain owner did not bother to advise BB, how do you move the name across to your account on BB without incurring a listing fee.
Just wondering....
If you submit one domain name at a time would you have a higher success rate of being accepted?
I had wondered this a long time ago and I don't think it makes any difference. The only time maybe is that if you have let's say Findsy.com & Findzy.com maybe I would send them at different times.
zmartly is a play on smartly which has a wide variety of venues potentially
zmarty is play on smarty which most of the time you only use it when you say smartypants..
when you say "zoldout" out loud.. you may think it's ZolledOut, or Zoledout or Zoldout or Zoldoubt, as opposed to soldout which inherently you know what the exact pattern is since it's a known term
@michaeljkrell I don't have any experience yet with BB since they keep rejecting my submissions , I have listed over 30 domain names that have been picked professionally and your staff keep rejecting them , the funny thing is that I've sold some of those domains for more than what I was expecting from BB. Can you please clarify why Gridlytic got accepted while cleverbound & flirtwallet got rejected ?
I like the last one, the problem with a 'c' though is it could be pronounced 's'. None of these really pass the telephone test. As Michael said, just because it doesn't fit BB it doesn't mean it's not a good name! You have a back up plan for your third one I've just had a similar type of name rejected and I'm about to do the same as you :DJust received another email from BB regarding my last domains submitted and they were all rejected. Here's the names:
Pikkas
Capaxx an abandoned brand of Siemens Financial Services
LogikPro there's a company using the domain Logik.pro
Commoca a deceased startup
I thought these names were great but unfortunately they don't fit their "target audience".
I've submitted only one domain with an extra letter (Zoomerr), but it got rejected.
Fiverr does not fail radio test. You just need to say "that is fiverr with double r".
Plenti does lots of radio ads with "that is plenti with i" line.
Regarding Zamrtly (which I own)
patterns in what is published on the website. The principles for a good name are subtle and flexible. They change depending on the length of the domain and the strength of the keyword to which they are applied.
z/o/l/d/o/u/t: 508 regged .coms contain 'Sold Out' I don't think BB has many two word domains that begin w/ z
Except, sold-out is not a two word name.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sold–out
"A sold-out event"
Full Definition of sold–out
: having all available tickets or accommodations sold completely and especially in advance;also : of or relating to a sold-out event <a sold–out crowd>
I had crowdfunderr rejected last week. It is strong keyword i guess but bb told me they prefer one word. I agree with they decision.
My stats(New submissions)
Submitted: 17
Rejected: 1
I agree with the decision as well. The 'err' is what kills it. IMO, CrowdFundd would have been accepted due to the quality of keywords + their double last letter acceptance trend, but then again they don't usually add a second letter to two word domains, so IDK.
Did you have a 94% acceptance rate? 16 domains accepted of 17 submitted, or am I mistaken? If so, congratulations! That's the most impressive ratio I've seen yet.
Thank you in advance.
yes, 16 domain were accepted.
2 words brandable at most, prefix -co, suffix -sy, -scape ..
Well done!!! That's very impressive, congratulations, and thank you for sharing! Would you mind answering, were they all hand regs?
All handreg. I don't care anymore to buy a sh*t from aftermarket.
Cool domain. Though you spelled it wrong :D I assume intentional..
