Any thoughts?

i/n/s/t/a/n/t/r/a/m/a - maybe too long and it might have end user issues, photography didn't 'click' in my mind
f/a/b/r/i/c/a/t/u/r/e - we don't make stuff in the new economy
u/n/s/x- i think it's hard to pronounce, i don't know much about 4L

Thanks, I appreciate your helpful comments.
Regarding instantrama- I was thinking instant film, which I'm a big fan of and is quite popular again.
As for fabricature, I think there is a movement in which more people are getting involved in crafts as a living, so maybe it has a future.

One more, if you have time, SilverMelon.
Thanks again.

Here are some of my last rejections:

- P·U·X·U·P (short, pronounceable, palindrome... really had hopes with this)
- S·U·P·E·R·P·R·O·G·R·E·S·S
- T·A·Y·I·K·O
- F·I·T·P·L·E·A·S·E
- T·E·C·H·N·O·C·R·O·W·D
- M·A·G·I·C·A·B·L·Y

Thoughts and ideas always welcome!

Never tried to ask for a review of a rejection. What's the chance of getting some success with reviews? Any tip to get a good result?

Thanks!

Techno is bad to the bone! They should have accepted that one. I would definately write to them about that one. Crowd- anything is a hot thing.

Congrats and thanks for sharing!

There's so many factors to selling brandable domains, some things such as translations and what not can be easily over looked. Human error happens, especially on the marginal level when considering the amount of submissions they receive.



I've actually confronted @michaeljkrell about this assumption. To which he responded...



I want to believe this. As a NP member recently told me, "Suspicion will eat your brain away." So if you think your domain was rejected when it shouldn't have, don't be afraid to ask them to reconsider it.

Personally, I haven't been abiding by this as much as I should. I'm 1/1 in my experience messaging them for a reconsideration. I don't take rejection well, and confronting the rejector takes away the protective walls of the simple reject / accept. Nonetheless, if you really want to grow as a domainer, you'd think you should be open to any and all information. I was hoping BrandBucket would partner with Brand.Bar (@Angela St. Julien) to set up some sort of peer review brandable voting / discussion system for our rejects. If enough people like said reject, then BrandBucket would reconsider it. A public appeals process if you may.

Thank you! And you're quite welcome. I will pay more attention to the box which asks for more information about the domain.

I assume that they wouldn't pass up a domain which is pronouncable and two syllables. After they accepted answersource I got excited and began to subit longer names.

I'd also ask your opinion

What do you think about the following rejected names?

C r e d i t B a s k e t
G l u n d o
T r a n s f e r C a n d y
T r i n a r o

Thank you in advance!

C r e d i t B a s k e t - Seems a little awkward, does rhyme though. Narrow maybe.
G l u n d o - nothing to write home about, decent though
T r a n s f e r C a n d y - Who is the end user?
T r i n a r o - not too great imo



- P·U·X·U·P - good imo, might end up getting some money from the Chinese
- S·U·P·E·R·P·R·O·G·R·E·S·S - These are tough, thiis one is pretty good too, too long?
- T·A·Y·I·K·O - I guess there are alot of regable pronounceable 6L out there
- F·I·T·P·L·E·A·S·E - decent, but the key words don't necessarily go together
- T·E·C·H·N·O·C·R·O·W·D - i see the niche, but I don't see the business. Are these people buying domains?
- M·A·G·I·C·A·B·L·Y - Interesting, guess it could be a good site for magicians. Might be narrow.

I was really hoping G l u n d o would be accepted. It's receiving a nice traffic on Sedo.

Care to contribute reasoning? Too many syllables? Don't like database? I'm curious to hear your definition of, "Brandable." Simply stating what is, and what isn't, is not much help.

Right. So "brandable" is one that you can build your BRAND on. DatabaseFind are just two generic words describing what you are doing. As a business name, as your marketing identity, it's faceless and dull. No name. Besides, i really doubt you can ever register this as a trademark.

If we take just almost every thought up name from this thread, it would be brandable. Just for example, P·U·X·U·P. It's interesting, it's original, and you can build your identity on it.

Well of course FaceBook is also two generic word name. But: they are not connected to the site's industry, thus it can be used as a brand. If Zuck named it not Facebook but SocialNetwork, would he ever have a chance to register a trademark on it?

Great idea about Brand.bar and I noticed the 'voting' in BB is still lame. It's like going to the optometrist, "Is this one better? How about this one?"

If you have a domain which is worth it then you're not hurting their feelings by speaking up. Thank goodness.

I work with databases everyday and also on the investigative end as a skip tracer using professional databases to locate hard-to-find people.

It's not impossible that a company that has a skip trace database would want that domain for their own product but you may need to wait until they find you if you don't decide to reach out to them first.

Masterqueue.com, IRBsearch, LocatePlus, and so on. A few of these companies operate more than one database as well.

 

[Josytal]

IMHO, D/a/t/a/b/a/s/e/F/i/n/d.com is not a good domain name, because of reverse words combo. Even if we "repair" and make it a proper name: FindDatabase.Com.
The question still hangs unanswered: database of what?

Convoso is owned by a portfolio holder that has over 1,000 names listed at BB. Conviro is owned by a portfolio holder that has around 800 listed at BB. Convaro i didn't recognize the whois. I'm sure they sometimes try not to accept similiar names of certain portfolio holders as not to make waves with their more loyal members. Convoro is better then Convoso and Conviro and pretty equal with Convaro in my opinion. The double Os always sell well.

That is unfair to new people trying to create a portfolio, and also to the clients (who would prefer more choices).

I agree.

 

[kaposzta]

I agree.

It's a bit unfair, but I understand their reasons. Plus if the rejected name is great, you can always sell it easily on different marketplaces.

I just had all these once BrandBucket Rejected Domains accepted to a marketplace that ranks high on Google for keywords "Brandable Domains" and only charges 12% commission fee's with FREE listing fee's.

Brandables are subjective to certain marketplaces. We have other homes for our rejected domains! I urge everyone to turn those rejected domains into accepted domains somewhere. At the same time, I caution you to be weary of listing fee's unless you're certain in what you're getting in return.

 

[Ted Levy]

I am scratching my head over the rejection of B/U/Y/S/W/E/L/L which is easy to pronounce, meaningful, has keyword, no misspellings, memorable, short, and as well is a pun (buys well OR buy swell). Rejected by both BB and BR. Would seem to fit many retail sites or businesses.

Thank you @Josytal and @Zandibot for writing the article. I wish I had seen this when I first started buying keyword brandable domains.

For future reference you can link a URL to a post so we don't have to search for the article.

Highlight the text you want to hyperlink, the select the icon which I've highlighted in a screenshot below. Then, you add the URL, click insert.

I agree.

If my brandable strategy could go back in time, it would have listened to everything that @hookbox and @Zandibot have contributed with more of an open mind. I used to simply read what they'd say, and think, hmmm cool idea and go about my business without applying said suggestions. It was only until recently that I started questioning what they were suggesting and using my interpretation of what they're saying to grow as a domainer. I would have saved sooo much time if only I listened closer sooner.

B/U/Y/S/W/E/L/L

a pun (buys well OR buy swell)

Hiya Ted!

My problem with this as a brandable, is I had trouble reading it in all CAPS with no word break. First, I read Buy Swell. Thinking, buy ocean? buy overload? I repeated it, and found the pun Buys Well. I imagine the domain was rejected because of this confusion, and of course the subjectability of brandables.

A marketplace is going to read this domain and think who is going to buy this domain, and how am I going to market it to them. If I were a marketplace, I would market the relation of this domain to the phrase, Goes Well. Your suggested brandable could be an ecommerce site that suggests items that go well together by coining the term, Buys Well

 

[Ted Levy]

I guess I am too old to perceive that "swell" as a slang adjective meaning great, super, etc. is old-time since it didn't even apparently register to GJ when he saw it written as buyswell. So buy swell like that means do a swell--great, super--job of buying.

What was so obvious to me had in fact fallen into a literal generation gap. That's swell .

 

[Grilled]

GJ when he saw it written as buyswell

What was so obvious to me had in fact fallen into a literal generation gap. That's swell .

It could also be a geographical thing. I grew up in Hawaii, so when I hear swell, I think of something completely different. They speak whats called pigeon in Hawaii, a form of broken english, and this background both hurts and helps my ability to determine a keyword brandable. My keyword acceptance rate didn't go s'well at BrandBucket.

 

[goffee]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are doing well.

If you have BB rejects that you'd like me to comment on please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm not a super expert, but I do have a pretty high acceptance rate and I'm willing to help.

TaxScholar.com . Any idea..

 

[DonDraper]

Here are some of my last rejections

- S/U/N/F/E/L/L/A
- F/L/A/U/I
- D/O/M/O/F/L/E/X
- B/E/A/T/L/O/V/E/R
- C/U/A/R/I
- D/U/O/T/I/C

 

[kaposzta]

I really like S/u/n/f/e/l/l/a and D/u/o/t/i/c, it's weird they didn't accept it.
