I wish to experience about brandbucket from my fellow members


Thanks

Hey folks, sounds like it still taking BB ~45 days to review and approve domains. What does everyone recommend doing with the domain during that time frame? List on a competitor (BR, NR)? Sedo?

My understanding is that it's not exclusive to BB until its actually listed..

QUESTION: What do you guys think of -oid suffixed names?

There were only three of them in Doron's sale list: C O G N O I D and two others (can't remember the other two). I looked up the meaning of -oid and it means "resembling" or "like." Though, I think the meaning might have evolved in modern Internet parlance. To me, it just lends a techy/robotic feel to a name, likely due to the prominence of the word android over the past thirty years.

I may be wrong, but on BB, -oid seems to be a second class suffix. Not quite as accepted as -za, -ly, etc.

More of a service/website type suffix imo, and maybe not all that appealing as a "business name".

I would not submit it on another "logo creating" website. If it gets approved on NR, they work on the logo and then BB approve your domain. You will probably remove the name on NR and a designer worked on it for nothing.

I would submit on just domain listing like GoDaddy Auctions. It is easy to remove when BB approve.

@ Brandworthy Hopefully the sales ratio long term holds up!

Regarding logos. They are as personal and subjective as anything. For BB they are just means to an end I think. Showcasing potential. Nothing more, nothing less. No more effort than that should be wasted on logos.

By the way since there was talks of percentage of sales. In about 1.5 years, sold 10 out of 135 listed. But over 75% of my portfolio is less than 1 years old (would assume there's a few from the bunch that might sell also)

2 of my domains are pending to publish. Its been 10 days now and the logo is pending too.
Can anyone update about the time frame it takes for the publishing process
Help much appreciated.

Here is the current wait time for the non-ambassadors:

'Pending review'-> 5-6 weeks (down from 7-8 weeks)
'Pending Logo Design'-> 3-4 weeks (up from 2-3 weeks)
'Queued for Publishing'-> 1-2 weeks (up from 0-1 week)
---------------------------------------------------
Total time- 9-12 weeks (2-3 months)


Current wait time for ambassadors:

'Pending review'-> 0-1week
'Pending Logo Design'-> 1-2 weeks
'Queued for Publishing'-> 0-1week
-------------------------------------------------
Total time- about 4 weeks (1 monthish)

As Jahfree says, it varies. When the review process was backed up, the logo process was quicker. Now that the review process has accelerated the slogan/logo/publishing process has become backlogged. A domain I registered and submitted on March 16 was just published today. Good things come to those who wait.............

FWIW, and I have no first-hand knowledge of this, my understanding based on what I was told was that this is nothing to do with being an ambassador. A small group of publishers are on a pilot program which changes how the review process works for them. Their reviewed names go into the same design and publishing queue as everyone else though.

I've been told this new system is still being tested, but the primary reason for it isn't to help the fast-tracked publishers, but instead to release more resources to everyone else. This makes sense to me.

I think we should give this a chance, and if the current wait times are an issue to you then my advice is to submit frequently so you always have new names moving along every stage of the system. Also be prepared that some of your names will take years to sell, while most will likely never find a new owner. But for those names that do end up transacting your reward should be a very good ROI indeed.

Anyone else care to share sales percentages?

I've just had a few names submitted on the 29th April reviewed, but I still have names from as far back as the 8th, 9th, 10th April etc to be reviewed. Is everyone else the same?

 

[cocaseco]

One from 4/21, one from 4/22, then the balance at 4/30. Seems like they got out of order for awhile there.

It's the new deal with the review process. Some pending, some rejected, some accepted over a greater submission date timespan.

 

[Dominic Belley]

I had some April 7 reviews today .. 2 accepted, 2 rejected.

I now have 9 accepted out of 44 reviewed since April 7th.

Just had my biggest price evaluation today for 3495 .. all others were between 1400 and 2200. Nice to have one a bit higher valued.

I've seen some of my domain progress in the review/logo/publish pending situation too. Wheels are in motion today for me.

I'm still waiting on a few names from April 8.

Wow. Amazing numbers, over 50% acceptance.

 

[Keith DeBoer]

Yup its the same for everyone. A new review system designed to keep things flowing. Some notable reviews of mine were:
PeakTrend/yes v. PeakTaste/no ----- that makes sense to me
VirtuThink/yes v. VirtuHelper/no -- I think the 'er' killed it. VirtuHelp would've been a weiner
HighMetric/yes v. MetricsFast/no --- I guess 'fast' makes it sound like a SpeedyPrinting shop
ForkFresh/yes v. PickUpFresh/no -- She definitely picked the stronger of the two
SuperUpside/yes v. UpsideReady/no -- Super is always better. Just ask Lois Lane...

Cheers everyone!

PS MetricsFast also breaks the rule that a name should say who the company is not what they do
