Are Reversed Domains Worth Buying?

[Entrepreneur888]

Are domains that are keyword reversed worth buying?

For example,

Loancar.com (estibot 43k)

or maybe something more generic,

commercialtreadmill,com (estibot 2900)

Obviously not for these prices, but in general, ones that have high search values,

Opinions?

The vast majority of "tools", even Google appears to have a hard time with reverse style terms and I think display results that are not true.

I say stick with domains that make sense and reverse domain names do not make sense to the vast majority. I would rather see a hyphened domain used with the proper term than a reverse term.

Reversed domain can have a different meaning on some occasions.

Reversed domain can have a different meaning on some occasions.

Exactly. And from the example provided by op, LoanCar and Carloan are different. Loancar sound like loaning/leasing a car....

Sometimes reversed domains can & do make sense to endusers but I would'nt use an automated tool to decide if & when.

ie: DubaiGolf.com would be the generic, GolfDubai.com would be a very good "call to action" brandable domain.

Both have value but one is more likely to get natural type in traffic than the other.

Some endusers prefer brands to generics, no doubt about that one.
