That is unfair to new people trying to create a portfolio, and also to the clients (who would prefer more choices).

I agree.

It's a bit unfair, but I understand their reasons. Plus if the rejected name is great, you can always sell it easily on different marketplaces.

I just had all these once BrandBucket Rejected Domains accepted to a marketplace that ranks high on Google for keywords "Brandable Domains" and only charges 12% commission fee's with FREE listing fee's.

Brandables are subjective to certain marketplaces. We have other homes for our rejected domains! I urge everyone to turn those rejected domains into accepted domains somewhere. At the same time, I caution you to be weary of listing fee's unless you're certain in what you're getting in return.

I am scratching my head over the rejection of B/U/Y/S/W/E/L/L which is easy to pronounce, meaningful, has keyword, no misspellings, memorable, short, and as well is a pun (buys well OR buy swell). Rejected by both BB and BR. Would seem to fit many retail sites or businesses.

One of the domaining experts on this forum explains it all in his recent blog post. See here: zandibot [dot]com/how-to-pick-two-word-domains

Thank you @Josytal and @Zandibot for writing the article. I wish I had seen this when I first started buying keyword brandable domains.

For future reference you can link a URL to a post so we don't have to search for the article.

Highlight the text you want to hyperlink, the select the icon which I've highlighted in a screenshot below. Then, you add the URL, click insert.

If my brandable strategy could go back in time, it would have listened to everything that @hookbox and @Zandibot have contributed with more of an open mind. I used to simply read what they'd say, and think, hmmm cool idea and go about my business without applying said suggestions. It was only until recently that I started questioning what they were suggesting and using my interpretation of what they're saying to grow as a domainer. I would have saved sooo much time if only I listened closer sooner.

Hiya Ted!

My problem with this as a brandable, is I had trouble reading it in all CAPS with no word break. First, I read Buy Swell. Thinking, buy ocean? buy overload? I repeated it, and found the pun Buys Well. I imagine the domain was rejected because of this confusion, and of course the subjectability of brandables.

A marketplace is going to read this domain and think who is going to buy this domain, and how am I going to market it to them. If I were a marketplace, I would market the relation of this domain to the phrase, Goes Well. Your suggested brandable could be an ecommerce site that suggests items that go well together by coining the term, Buys Well

I guess I am too old to perceive that "swell" as a slang adjective meaning great, super, etc. is old-time since it didn't even apparently register to GJ when he saw it written as buyswell. So buy swell like that means do a swell--great, super--job of buying.

What was so obvious to me had in fact fallen into a literal generation gap. That's swell .

It could also be a geographical thing. I grew up in Hawaii, so when I hear swell, I think of something completely different. They speak whats called pigeon in Hawaii, a form of broken english, and this background both hurts and helps my ability to determine a keyword brandable. My keyword acceptance rate didn't go s'well at BrandBucket.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are doing well.

If you have BB rejects that you'd like me to comment on please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm not a super expert, but I do have a pretty high acceptance rate and I'm willing to help.

TaxScholar.com . Any idea..

Here are some of my last rejections

- S/U/N/F/E/L/L/A
- F/L/A/U/I
- D/O/M/O/F/L/E/X
- B/E/A/T/L/O/V/E/R
- C/U/A/R/I
- D/U/O/T/I/C

I really like S/u/n/f/e/l/l/a and D/u/o/t/i/c, it's weird they didn't accept it.

I think it's safer to submit 5L and 6L names to BB... I've submitted around 15 2 words .com and none of them got accepted.

Yes you're right i got a nice acceptance rate only with 5L, my first 5L+ accepted name has been 3 days ago with

S/P/Y/D/O/O

I still don't have luck with 2 word brandables.
Digi / Blossom and Zoom / Geo have been rejected.

A/D/A/P/T/I/I/V/E got rejected. But I'm not so disappointed because two of my other names got accepted with suggested prices $2195 and $3895.

Recent rejects:

B/o/n/d/e/m/y
Plugin/Fox

It's weird they didn't accept Launch/Coin, it's really the type of domain they are looking for.
