Is "buy" a good prefix?

[A. Person]

Is "buy" a good prefix if a domain I want to register is taken and buy makes sense with the other words in the domain?

 

[EmotiveDomains]

Now that's ODD.

Kinda creepy too.

Are you sure it was not Google as the registrar ? Lol

Yeah they are the registrar, it's a private registration.

I've owned over 20 years many prefixes and developed many and still hold some
Not one was a 'buy' prefix though

Geo's were good prefixes until Google killed geo EMD's

Now all the prefixes we develop and invest in as spec assets are

i prefix
1 prefix
247 prefix

e was always a good prefix

top
best

are actual 'search prefixes'

I don't think many use 'buy' as a search prefix

so if you have oodles of dough to brand a 'buy' prefix it's a decent development prefix but to me it's not a real prefix since it's not like e, i or 1 and it's not a term like top or best that people really use

now 'where to buy' is a search term, but 'buy', it just doesn't lend itself to seeing results IMO

it doesn't mean you can't sell it though, but it would be a minor sale if one should occur

good luck if you own any

I wouldn't develop one and sure wouldn't 'buy' one

Google killed geo EMD'S?

 

[idomainappraisal]

Years ago google made geo EMD's a penalty on seo unless it has heavy development

So all the guys like us sitting on thousands of geo EMD's dropped most of them

Worthless unless you want to sink a ton into development

if you don't know what an EMD is, 'exact match domain'

so geokeyword.tld became a negative in google's eyes

not sure if it was panda or penguin but they specifically targeted geo EMD's with one of their tweaks

it's old news, many years old

I agree with him. Buy is a popular prefix and have lots of sales especially in the past when EMD were too much powered. Poor quality websites could rank in high position just because of their domain name.
today things are very very different.
EMD can still kill the competition if gathered with really great content and SEO, so IMHO "buy" prefix has now lost a big part of his prestige..

i used to stick blank EMD's with nothing on them just some power links to show it could be done

the 'good old days'

LOL

 

[A. Person]

So are EMD domains like buykeyword1keyword2.com worth registering if "buy keyword1 keyword2" is a good search term and you only plan to resell the domain and not develop it?

I take the comments of you guys, but I still like my "buy any dot com" in some perverse way. It would be a lot better if I put something on the site of course.

buy is definitely a good prefix and i am sure that it would sell for large value if that keyword containing domain name is sold.
