LLLLL.com (5 Letter) Sales and discussion thread

[GlobalDomainer]

Hi guys,

Like anyone of you, I am always searching for new trends. For the last 18 months I went really deep into the LLLL. I placed my bets, and now only have to wait for all them 4 letters to be :sold:

So I was thinking. What would be a nice new niche for me to get into? My answer after some thinking and testing is actually quite simple. I decided to invest in quality LLLLL coms. I know I know, it is not actually a new trend and not really a niche. But I tell you, these 5 letter domains can become big business in some time :imho:

Why? Because quality 5 letter domains are extremely brandable. Lots of startups there looking for a brandable short name, especially the web 2.0 based ones. Quality 5 letter domains generate also natural type in traffic as I experienced myself. And ofcourse, it is dotcom based, the only safe bet you can make I believe.

I also believe that not all 5 letter dotcoms will be sold shortly, maybe they will never be. You really need to have quality names. But that is also a question I have for you. What is a quality name in this niche?

So maybe we can make this thread a bit sticky and share thoughts and experiences in developing this part of the domain market.

Oh yeah, just to share this with you. I recently acquired sygar, lyned, jebia, sebod, pifab, pobit, samau and penep.

Last available AABCD with PinYin meanings

Looks like all these chinese meanings made with google translation is complete bullshit

 

[Flipsbay]

i dont think so. I do agree they are not accurate but they are not bullsh*t.

Look at these :

*** 法拉利车队. = fllcd = Ferrari ( Meaning )

Prove: Google
Wikipedia

黄金首饰 = hjssh = Gold jewelry

Prove : Google
Wikipidia
Amazon

Can't say totally bullsh*t after seeing this?

Thanks.

Tells that translations have no connection.
Either it is just approximate meaning, or he cheat us out of 5L ))))

法拉利车队 is really "ferrari car team"
黄金首饰 is not really hjssh. This splits the characters into (h,j,s,sh). The last word(sh) becomes a meshup.

But HJ = gold, and SS = jewelry, right?

I respect every domainer but just by registering a chinese email and sending spam mail with chinese words doestn't make some one chinese, same way i have hard time swallowing that if some one registers on forum by a chinese name and claims he is chinese i should trust what ever he says.

On the other hand why the hell amazon with a very reputation on the net will list a keyword that is not meaningful at all.

But anyway thats only my bet so i am not here to say you are wrong or
DomainMai is.
.

Thanks.

That is correct.
The last H in HJSSH is a redundant letter.

But we don't know if gold + jewelry = golden jewelry in Chinese you try to apply english grammar rules to chinese phonetical rules.

 

[DTR Alex]

Anyways, gold is always gold, it can't be silver or other metals...

 

[thedotsol]

When I see some 5l are registered in .COM but not in .CN, I wonder why should someone (of course Chinese) would pay even $100 for .com, when .cn is available at reg fee.

I don't see value in every 5l chip, only small amount with meaning and already registered in .cn. At least for now...

 

[DTR Alex]

And when it is scarcity of gold, it is natural that the price will increase....

If you don't find the gold in your budget, you may buy silver but it will diminish your stander when you see your friends are bearing the real golden jewelry.

 

[Andrei P.]

That is correct.

How you can comment this according to
https://translate.google.com/#zh-CN/en/hjssh

HJ = Go home
SS = at any time
HJSS = Gold Jewelry

I don't think so, gold and golden is different words even in English.
Translator shows "Huángjīn shìpǐn" for golden jewelry = HJSP, but it can be inaccurate too, since words have synonyms. Need to be natural speaker to know this details.
I own one domain in Spanish that Google translates as popular word, and recently asked opinion of Spanish domainers about it. They told me there's much better word with this meaning and mine is just form of it.
5L intrepretations actually very rare, because most of Chinese words break up in 2L Acronyms, not 3.
Of course there's few of them that have 3L, and few cities with 3L acronyms, but no more than 5-10%.
But regarding 5L buyout meaning won't matter that much, imho.
After they all gone it will be commodity, trading chips, and only few will command premium price, the rest will be the same, no matter if it has meaning or not. At least at reseller market. Resellers only worry about 1 thing - price, when you trade 100 chips each day at Ename, you don't have time to look for meaning, you look at the letters, numbers, pattern and price, that's it.

 

[Flipsbay]

lets say google translate is bullsi*t but look at this please tell me why amazon has that key on there site as gold related product

Amazon

HJ = Go home
SS = at any time
HJSS = Gold Jewelry

Huí jiā = HJ = go home
Suíshí = SSh = at any time

Google just take one of possible translations, probably most popular and feeds to you.

Google is not Chinese

Each letter (without considering AEIOUV) can have hundreds, if not thousands of possible words in pinyin.
And each pinyin word has at least 4 ways to pronounce it. This means at least 4 possible meanings.
Note that each of the 4 are different words.
This is why random letter are valuable. Because they can have so many uses.

Here you go, like DotCn said before each of 20 shengmu letters can be used in a lot of corresponding acronyms. Some 2 letters together can have famous known combinations, but really, if your business is in BJ and you can't find domain starting with BJ, you can use just 1 letter B and add some other meaning in the middle. So many ways to mix, match and play around with letters in Pinyin. Every one of 20 letters is valuable.

And that's the problem that I don't think 5L will be valuable 5L. Why buy from domainer 5L that is a crapped way to say some meaning when you can handreg 6L with exact meaning

 

[djum]

Because they buying not for meaning, not for end-user, but for trading purposes as digital currency, like bitcoin.
And only domains that completely bought out will have value.
If 6L will get bought out, they will have value too, but it's 64mln...
And before it happens, only good patters in 6L will have value, just like you can see it with numbers.
