I noticed from the newsletter that keywords continue to outperform invented words on BB.
However I still believe it is much easier to hand register an invented word than it is to hand register a keyword/s.
Yes, keyword domains tend to have more specific enduser searches. It's easier to find something like A
/n
/a
/l
/o
/g
/C
/l
/o
/u
/d.com on your own without having to know domainer secret and rare combination of domains like CVAAV such as Q
/o
/d
/d
/o.com which need a brandable marketplace to be discovered. We need BrandBucket to do a better job of selling are made up brandables, or we have to begin to ask questions as
@equity78 suggests...
Look I just think people either have to say I trust Margot and Michael and I believe they are earning their keep, or this is nonsense $10 + 30% + Logo fee + Exclusivity.
It is my personal opinion that because
@michaeljkrell is heavily involved with keyword domains, he is defining the definition of keyword domains, and those who have tracked successful keywords that fit into his view of a keyword brandable domain. Since brandable domains are very subjective, we are all entitled to our opinion. Until further questions are answered, I stand by my assumptions.
BB has obviously done a sensational job in attracting end users whereas the other platforms predominantly entertain other domainers.
What I'm effectively proposing is that because MK and other BB insiders are playing from an unfair advantage by setting the price by possibly flipping a coin and/or evaluating based off of quality to determine premium domains. Furthermore, the more keyword domains added as premium domains or added in general, takes away from the set amount of brandable buyers BB can successful bring in organically vs losing a sale to their ranking competitors who isn't watered down by the 29,000+ other BB options.
What I love about BB is that we can still hand register a domain and if we're lucky we can make $2-$3K profit within a short time.
Please be careful, if this is your firm expectation. I mean this with no disrespect.
BrandBucket's original vote for free listing fee trained me to become a made up brandable domainer, where it is easier to believe in the hand reg dream. The rules were changed mid way through the game, and I'm letting them know I'm not happy about it, and the system they have allowed to become by not regulating the reseller market. They have a moral and social obligation to make this right. I'm patiently waiting to see how they approach this sensitive issue.
