BrandBucket Experience

[xtremex]

hello

I am new to BrandBucket. Before getting my hands on this

I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

Thanks for the info!

When you say "keyword names" do you mean "keyword rooted names" Ex. "Shopotron". Or 2 word combos Ex. "Snail Head"?

That is a good point. If I had to give a guess based on a quick scan of the 'sold' list I'd say one third pure brandable ie Tovado and one third word based brandables ie Accufolio and one third (or less) pure keyword based names like JetChef.

.

If the word ends in s, x, z, ch, or sh, then adding an 'e' is required to be able to pronounce it. Examples:
Boss: Bosszy vs Bossesy
Batch: Batchzy vs Batchesy

Bosssy and batchsy just don't work and adding an 'e' makes its kinda odd

If the name ends in S you would never add SY or ZY. Bosszy is just ridiculous. Batchsy works perfectly and so does Batchzy but Batchsy is worth more and is more desirable. Adding an ESY at the end of Batch makes it pronounced BatchEHsy which sounds horrible.

On another subject, I noticed there was a bunch of names removed from Brand Bucket's inventory and I see your profile is not listed anymore. Did you remove your names from BrandBucket??

I don't believe that's the portfolio he merged in. I was the under-bidder in that auction, and I think the buyer was buying the business, whereas I was after the names. I don't think the buyer is a seller on BB. I'm still a little peeved I didn't win that - quite a nice portfolio for around $40 per name - but I bid the amount I thought was reasonable to ensure at least break-even. One person bid more alas.

Be happy you didn't win. You can handreg 80 names that are better than those for 75% less money. 55 of the names are 7 letters or more and those are a dime a dozen.

You're probably right, and I likely focused too much on the better names in his portfolio. I'm also probably spending far too much at auctions, when in fact my acceptance rate for names I'm creating myself is far higher than for names I'm picking up on the drop.

The only names I would ever pay for are 4Ls, 5Ls and good two word combos. 6Ls and higher are so easy to create it's not worth buying them. If the name is not partially keyword based then don't even waste your time registering it. Creating random 6Ls is easy but creating 6Ls with a partial keyword prefix is much harder but still possible. Buyers want a name that has meaning especially when they are asked on a daily basis what does there name mean. Having a partial keyword helps them give that name meaning and makes it much easier to sell.

When did brandbucket start accepting exact match keyword domains? I see babysit.me on their homepage. Can't get more exact match than that. Only one type of business can use that.
