Hi, I'm a designer / web developer new to the domain buying scene. I like the fact that when I buy a cool domain name, there's potential I can develop a website on it myself.

But recently I spent a lot of money on domaining... so I would appreciate if you have some advice or direction for me; or maybe I should just quit domaining because of how bad the regs are?

Also what should I do with keyword domains as Brandbucket doesn't seem to like these.

4xAA.com (keyword)
AceGT.com (brandable)
AgenciesList.com (keyword, will develop this)
AiBoots.com (keyword - nonexistant yet)
Aihance.com (brandable, I like this a lot because of Behance (big site) )
Aitasy.com (brandable)
Brandacular.com (brandable)
BuyHealing.com (keyword)
ClubState.com (brandable)
ColorBackground.com (keyword)
ColorsMeaning.com (keyword)
DanceJumps.com (keyword)

Don't quit. Stop registering domains. Read the numerous posts in this forum for beginners. Read them again. Buy domains that businesses will find real value in (not what you think is cool, or what you think you will develop - you never will).

it doesn't mean that you need to acquire a lot of domains being a domainer, the more you keep is the more you're in bankrupt for me, but the more you sell, the proof of being a domainer is not in the buying but in the selling

The shame is that for what you have spent to register all these undesirable domains, you could have purchased 1 or 2 decent domains through an auction

Yup!!

You need to study some more before you blow any more $$ on sh*t names.

Hey guys, just an update.

I sold D i g e r y . c o m for $777 usd after Afternic's commission. (I listed as around 1000 usd) and just got that sale finalized.

Congrats to those here who thought that name had potential. I personally liked it but in some pronounciations it can be pronounced as Dig - ery instead of Digi - ery.

So I'm still making a loss with my domains I think, but I have some really solid ones and I believe they will sell in the end!

I've learnt a lot since this post and I'm getting better names, mostly in dot com now as they have the most potential.

Here's my brandpa page as well with some of my new domains: https://brandpa.com/sellers/cixxy

I'm buying some nice .coms lately. They are 3x the normal .com price since its from Godaddy auctions but I think it will be worth it... e.g.

C e l l S o c i a l
P h o n e T i t l e
P h o n e s a
D o t D e v i c e
D o w n M o r t g a g e
F i n d i t t

Congrats on the sale, but your latest acquisitions could have been better at 3x cost of hand reg.

For example, what is Phone/Title? Or what kind of project to you envisage on Down/Mortgage?

Find/itt: Doubling might work on a single word (popular one), but not with word+word.

I did think hard on Phone/Title as it was dubious... but then I kept thinking and just grabbed it. Especially since GoDaddy evaluation is on the $2900 mark.

Title can refer to movies, apps, games, music and you add Phone to it so it becomes a mobile version. No one uses the phrase Phone Title, it has no search volume. That was my biggest hesitation. so it can just be a good brand name instead for now.

Down/Mortgage is self explanatory, make your mortgage go down :) When we're talking about Mortgage, the negative keywords are great with it. Like "No /Mortgage/com" which is selling on brandbucket for $6000.

Find/itt was interesting. I dont really like the name ***too*** much, but it has 33 domain authority, 28k backlinks and 16 years old (which I get to continue when transferred). And good one for a directory listing or maybe AI search.

Not sure you have great criteria for choosing names.

No one really says "Down my mortgage". No/Mortgage makes sense (could be an original fin project, some alternative to mortgage, but also might never get a commercial application.

Find/itt: ok, I get it, you bought it for its backlinks. Test if it does give you traffic and decide if you want to renew for next year. I doubt its value for development purpose, meaning there are too many better alternatives.

Phone/Title: still does not make too much sense for a commercial project.

There's a lot of names like UP something on brandbucket. It's a good / catchy keyword.

https://www.brandbucket.com/names?search=up

Just like Down something negative. It's not meant to be an english word together, more like a catchy brand name.

For a commercial project it can be a listing of all the apps/ music/ movies / books/ games for the phones. Why doesn't it make sense?

Maybe it needs to be PhoneTitles I guess.

phone/titles/com isn't taken and only $1400 valuation, while my Phone/title is now rising to 3004$ evaluation haha, it was 2895 a few weeks ago... for some reason.

Omg. my Down/Mortgage is now $3551 godaddy evaluation, it just went up $1000... ??

It might be because someone who owns MortgageDown / com / au is spending a lot on advertising or something

Are these valuations even real? Any chance those domains could get sold near that $3.5k?

Well a good way to test is try your own domains and see how much they are worth. I just posted another thread about it and my view is that they are 80-90% accurate.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/to...-on-appraisal-bot-tools.1106674/#post-6950428

Of course every domains take time to sell but you can use this price as a negotiation point if it's a good one as well.

A lot has to do with the previous sales. For example, Aktien.de sold for $750,000. This brings up EVERY aktien extension's worth and also the keyword worth as well.

I guess some people just did more high value sales for X keyword + Mortgage, so my domain worth rose up nearly 1k as well.

Congrats on your sale.

As far as appraisals go, automated appraisals are largely meaningless. The best appraisal is what someone would pay for it in the real world. NoMortgage.com is actually a pretty good domain. People strive to pay off their home loans, hence then have no mortgage.

Down Mortgage doesn't really make sense and I would be shocked it someone was willing to pay much of a premium for it.

Thanks.

Imagine your mortgage amount owing $ going down in a chart, I dont know why it's so hard to imagine it haha. DownDebt and DebtDown are similar and get high appraisal as well.

"the best appraisal is what someone would pay in the real world" is one of the factors that these bots use to calculate. It uses similar keyword sales as a large criteria.

You start sounding like an automation yourself )

The point of human is to use the tools, but then use the common sense to weed out the ones that algorithms cannot properly grasp yet.

No one says "I downed my mortgage", but people say "I have no mortgage". By the same token, DownDebt is meaningless, while NoDebt would be a great name.

You seem to have gone from bad to worse. You were registering some names that are bad, but at least you were paying reg fee for them, now you are paying 3x, but most names are even worse than your first batch.

This is not a good sign for how your learning curve works.

Sorry for being direct and blunt. Hopefully, you'll appreciate it later, if it saves you money and time.

Like I told you before: Just like Down something negative. It's not meant to be an english word together, more like a catchy brand name.

A lot of names like UpSales are not meant to be words that work together. E.g. saying out loud "up sales" in a sentence, but are great brand names. If you don't get that concept then its your brain that's not working not mine lol

Btw UpSales.com GD valuation $11,108

Upsale can be another word for upselling and is a huge concept in commerce.

And you comparing "down" with "up" is telling.

Ignorance is bliss. I am not going to comment in your threads any further.

Ok fine. Upsmart.com , $7,588 valuation. Makes NO sense in a sentence, but of course a great brandable. What's your excuse now?

I guess some people can't think out side the box and visualize things. I can because I'm a designer and I can visualize a great brand + logo for these things. Up is a very visual concept and the same thing can be said about down. They don't have to make sense in a sentence, but you can visualize it nicely.

Are you saying all of them are undesirable?

Most of the keyword domains there have a lot of searches / month and some have over $1000 estibot values like FeetInches, VegetarianCurry. Altho I'm not sure to do with them.

And the brandable ones I researched brandbucket for inspiration and they are close to what sells usually (eg: InvestBliss, SkillJolt), unless I'm wrong?



Didn't think of dairy when I thought of that name, thanks!
I recommend to make some established websites on your domain . Do a partnership with a content writer.
