water

Just grabbed E-A-U.COM - water in french. Since water is more expensive than oil GOing to try some seo on this one.

gary-
tried to give rep but wouldnt let me. Thanks for the list!

 

[TOXX]

Great thread!
...
Anyone have a new list?

 

[Mike]

um....the only thing that makes me is that "-" hyphens are never good for a domain, why would that suddenly change? Especially considering that it's not just one "-" but 2!!!! ... maybe i'm not getting it, but why would the unwritten rules of domaining suddenly change?

"Never Good for a domain"? What about Jack-O-Lantern.com?

I think partly the answer is:

1 - Stop thinking like a DOMAINER and start thinking like an end user... What brandable domains is LEFT for a reasonable price? Can you reasonable expect to be able to buy hmo.com? In the end, these guys are looking for something reasonable relevant to their needs but will make the effort to BRAND whatever they choose. So... WHY NOT brand h-m-o.com for a fraction of the money?

2 - Search engines DON'T SEE THE HYPHENS. h-m-o.com has just as much opportunity to find itself on the top of the Google Heap as hmo.com

The great many businesses using the internet as another medium by which to share their message aren't interested or even partially aware of "intrinsic value" or "natural traffic". Their Marketing Directors say "Brand the Name and they will come" It's the MANTRA of Business. "Repetition is the Key to Success" Phone number a minumum of THREE times per add, brand name a minimum of 6 times per add.

The only direct navigation they think about is telling their customers where to go... not wondering what a potential visitor might type to find them.

3rd and Finally - Foreign traffic seems to use an abundance of dashes in their domains, searches and digital conversations. Far more than even a fraction of US traffic.

All of this leads to one thing... those of us with solid two dashers are GETTING TRAFFIC to verying degrees and much of that traffic is paying off. The recent sale shows that there is end-user interest as well.

It may be a fad, it may be a trend. Who knows for sure? But that is, at the essence, what we do......... SPECULATE.

Why do people pay $1000+ for a L-L.com and yet aren't willing to pay reg fee for a L-L-L.com?

Why do people pay $80+ for a LLL.biz and $200+ for a premium letter LLL.biz and aren't willing to pay reg fee for a premium letter L-L-L.com despite the fact that there are more endusers user using L-L-L.com?

I compare this to real estate. Where I live (Western Australia), nobody wanted land in the middle of country towns 5 years ago meaning you could get land for $5000AU. Since the real estate boom, land in the middle of country towns has become hot property pushing some blocks over 30 times the value. In my opinion, L-L-L.com has just been overlooked for a long time and therefore is overdue for a market correction.

GoPC any chance you can take a screen shot of h-m-o.com stats and post it here please i have a theory which i need to solve.

Oh, i'm not disagreeing, not the least bit, i just find myself a bit surprised as i haven't even wasted a single thought on that,...YET! shame on me, i went way too much with the domainer head and lost said head in the process.

Kudos to whomever had the vision and foresight to get into these combos early, i clearly missed the train on that one!

Theory? I have to admit, I am curious...

The last pay period that ended ysterday. 18 uniques and only 2 clicks Still, $.72 cents. I guess the fact it was posted in this thread bumped the traffic a bit the period prior. Anyway, here you have it...

EDIT - Don't know if it helps, but it appears the domain has only 1 visitor and no clicks today.

 

[Chris.]

Thanks GoPc i let you know if the theory works the only way to test it is to
see a one and half weeks of stats from a domain in my theory list.

it may not even work lol but thanks for the stats, time will tell i guess.

Chris

 

[GoPC]

Oh come one! LOL!!!

You big tease... what is your theory SUPPOSED to do? It won't be a "prediction" unless you put it on the line BEFORE the data comes in.

[Chris.]

i dont want to make my self look like a fool even tho theres a fool in all of us lol

 

[VURG]

Are the premiums gone yet?

If not, how many are left.

Don't know myself, but it would also be interesting if someone with the necessary scanner could do a check to see how many of these remain and what the trend is toward them all being taken...

Meanwhile, I'm doing my part, having registered these today:

U-A-L.COM
U-A-W.COM
U-N-L.COM
U-N-M.COM
U-O-M.COM
U-O-T.COM

And picked up the Boston area code while I was at it:
6-1-7.COM
