Dictionary words

[ajinbc]

I've read lots about the intrinsic value of dictionary words.

What are your thoughts on dictionary words as .coms etc?

 

[Fewski]

Most of the .com dictionary words are all gone - atleast the common (or nearly common ones).

If you have a good dictionary word, it can fetch a ton of money.

its very difficult nowadays to find good dictionary word, i think there is no good words available now....

A domain doesn't acquire value just by being based on a dictionary word; it acquires value either from being likely to be typed in, or likely to be desired by a business, or brandable, etc.

If a domain is based on a dictionary word then that might indicate that it's more likely have some of the features that give it value, but it's the features that give it value not the dictionary listing.

There's no intrinsic value to dictionary domains. If a dictionary word domain isn't likely to be typed in, isn't likely to be desired by a business, isn't brandable, etc. then it doesn't have any value.

At least, that's my take on your question.

Prefixes/suffixes can help and hurt, both, as well.

-s and -es aren't bad ie carS.com or glassES.com.

-ing can hurt but the damage is little compared to -ly, which hurts the worst IMO.

pre- and re- can go either way.

Just my 2 cents.

Combos are even worse ie devistatingly.com

Just because it is a dictionary word does not make it a good domain.

On the other hand, using creativity and a spark...you can brand and market about anything and be successful.

See whi.ms for more than 10,000 available English dictionary words.

Thanks for all the input people.

I think my head is going to explode with all the information I have jammed into it on the last month or so.
