Any thoughts?

I had signal/boat rejected a few months ago

And I actually know why because I asked BB. I wanted to understand what they were looking for. The explanation helped imo. Although 'signal' is a good keyword, 'boat' isn't very popular. 'ship is better' is what I was told

Huge Domains actually owns signal/ship com. I can't speak for made-up words, but the advice I got was that if you're going for two-word brandables for BB, try to make sure that both words are popular, and that the domain is a fit for BB's marketplace (ie in a niche that is popular on their marketplace).

However, take note of the fact that @equity78 just wrote an article about BB-type names that are selling for more money on Sedo. I think that's something to think about.

I admit that I only read the last page or two in this thread, so if the points I'm making have been mentioned prior, I apologize. Just wanted to share what was shared with me in hopes that it'll help someone else as I felt it helped me

Who said 'Boat' wasn't very popular? When I hear something like, 'boat' isn't very popular. 'ship is better' I question what is 'popular' and what is 'better' Yes, bb has more 'ship' domains than 'boat' domains, but NameBio has just enough 12 letter or less 'boat' .com sales as 'ship'

Is Signal / Ship better than Signal / Boat? Granted, repeating first letter words such as brandbucket and Chucky Cheese are desirable, SignalShipRepair.com redirects to WorldMarine.com, and Signal/Ship.info/org/net are all developed... I don't mind the keyword boat for some brandables.

Well said!

I hear ya @Grilled. I didn't get the idea that they thought signal/boat was bad per se, they just haven't had much (if any) 'boat' sales on THEIR marketplace.

In the DNAcademy webinar with Krell, Mike Cyger showed Krell a list of BB accepted names. Mike C pointed out that he thought those weren't good names. MK explained that those type of names have sold in the past on their marketplace.

I think that when they are approving/rejecting names, that's one of the major things they consider - have we sold names with this keyword or that keyword before? Yes? No?

Anyway, the question remains: Should we seek BB acceptance in the first place, given all other factors? I guess that's going to have to be a personal decision that each individual has to make based on his/her situation.

good point

the persons opinion that matters in a brandable etc is wether the end user likes it enough to pay the pennies etc

but when we get to asking wether we seek acceptance from bb etc we are at the stage at where alternative websites are created to solve existing problems faced on other websites

which poses the question should a website be created to add all the brandables rejected by bb ?

only a single brandable that was rejected by bb and sold via a newly formed website is a sale that may not not have happened after being rejected by bb etc

Of course Krell is going to say that names like that have sold in the past. He works for BB so what do you think he would say. That they suck??

I was hoping you'd suggest something like 'ship' as a verb has different meaning than boat as a noun. ie We will ship you package, not, we will boat your package.

It would be hard for them to have equal on THEIR marketplace when they favor 'ship' over 'boat'.

bb Published 'Ship' Domains: 10+ (Ship + Fully, ORA, ZO, ZA, ERY, PITY ect)

bb Published 'Boat' Domains: 3 (Boat.....ly | B***Boat.com | Gold + Boat.com)

Hmmm, I wish I attended the webinar. I have a been trying to get MK to answer my questions for months. He hasn't been around as much, and I was beginning to worry about him. I'm glad you hear from him, and he is alright.

Brandable domains are subjective. Of the two Boat .com's one is Margot's, and the other is B***Boat. 'Ship' might be a better keyword as a verb, sure. What about 'ship' vs 'boat' as nouns? In Poker, I wouldn't say I have a Full Ship, I would say I have a Full Boat. Why? IDK... FullHouse is a poker hand, and slang has over time developed into FullBoat.

Would you rather have, Brand/Boat.com? Brand/Ship.com? Or, neither?

Why Brand + Bucket? It works. You can reach into a brand bucket. Why not Bucket+popular suffix like IO? I'm not mad bb rejected Bucketio/com as it saved me from paying a listing fee, I'm just saying, keyword's are subjective as well, and though some keywords aren't strong enough to be paired with a suffix into a MUB, they can become brandable if paired with the proper secondary keyword.

I think that when they are approving/rejecting names, that's one of the major things they consider - have we sold names with this keyword or that keyword before? Yes? No?

Maybe bb has more 'ship' sales than I'm aware of. I'll do some digging. If there are, I'm going to assume they are related the the verb 'ship'... We'll see, more data = more fun!

I think you're looking into it way to deep. Since SignalShip is an alliteration it just sounds better then SignalBoat which sounds like crap. I think their response was based solely off of which sounded better at that one moment when they answered the question.

Thanks. My point wasn't to define which is better. I'm simply questioning why is one better. Educational conversations like this tend to help me gain a greater understanding of the industry. I appreciate your feedback.

Agreed.

Agreed.

If both word options work and one is an alliteration and one is not than the alliteration will always be better. An alliteration can make even the worst combination of words work well together.

 

[platey]

if bb cant sell signalboat? you have to almost prove them wrong and sell it? which proves them wrong or if you cant sell it? it proves them wright?

or? option 3? back to the search engine to find one that either they or you can sell?

 

[platey]

just had three of my brandables rejected by bb

windowcleen/com

dioup.com

bioue.com

 

[campout]

@platey I think there's too many vowels / how to pronounce? in the 2nd and 3rd names.

With the first one, I don't think BB accepts too many 2-word names with a misspelling.

 

[platey]

currently about 14 domain names submitted 0 accepted {its easier to create the next facebook than get a domain name accepted by bb

How can they have much, if any, boat sales on their marketplace, if they are not offering them? Catch 22...

I searched for boat at BB right now. Here is what they are offering:

Boat.ly
BuzzBoat
GoldBoat

that is it! Excluding .ly, only 2 .coms out of 30500 names or 0.007% of their stock.
And it is not like they are crazy about ship too. Search for ship found just 11 names (excluding suffix -ship) which is not much, considering that ship also means send/dispatch.

 

[golan]

Rejected: sqoof

Hmm...

 

[gblasting]

My latest rejection:

W/a/l/l/e/t/i/c dot com

I thought this will be easily accepted.

 

[Simon Taylor]

Surprised Retailerr didn't get accepted, have a few retail names on the site.

 

[Abdillahi Abdillahi]

Lomingo rejected. I thought it would be accepted.

 

[wormfood]

CouponCove rejected.
But HardCove (what the hell?), CrowdCove (kinda sucks, in my opinion), EnergyCove, and CouponCube are all published.
