Long domain names

[john_karr]

Whats the most did you ever saw a long domain go for? Our some long domains good or all of the worthless?

As I recall, ForSaleByOwner.com went for over $800,000 a few years back.
Actually, doesn't look that long, now.

Still a topic of conversation in its day.

BusinessProcessManagement.com at snapnames for $33,250.

Reported in dnjournal in April I think

It said "That may be the longest name ever reported above the 30K mark".

That's a good question. I was just thinking about that the other day.

I prefer short domains but if there some money to be made with nice long domains I might register some.

Base on the replies above I guess they are not all worthless

Some names have to be long in some industries. Take for instance the globalwarming and the alternative energy names. Without using longer names this area of domain names would be very few.

That's not by chance the area you are referring to is it?

Long names can occasionally be quite valuable, but they certainly are hard to market to other resellers (and thus will be difficult to recapture any value if you've got a dud). The high value comes pretty much exclusively from end users. So you should gauge your risk against how many potential end users you know for your targeted field and the types of domains they typically use.

john i have quite a few longer names myself and added a couple more recently. Maybe this could be a good thread for longer names that have potential. Do you mind showing us the name you have and I will post mine also. Perhaps we can also state why we registered the name.

I have longer domain names. As long as they make sense I think they will be valuable. Its getting hard to come up with good names to register of any kind including longer domain names. I dont see why they have been cheap. Of course a one word domain is best but a good sounding name with 2,3 or even 4 words may end up being worth a decent amount of money.

I nerver pay attention on this category in the past

Talking about long domains, a few days ago I saw WeBuyHousesFaster.com has sold for $4k, which I was totally amazed, but it seems that some people thought that it went for cheap. See http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/357362-is-this-4-000-domain-name.html

even though good long names can be sold for a certain amount (if you can find the right buyer) I would suggest to be careful about investing a lot of money on them ...


firstly , many look "ugly" and "unprofessional" for a quality company or in the logo at the top of the page ...


secondly , they can be tedious to type , with possibilities for typos and possibly very little type-in traffic ...


thirdly , many times there are many alternative word-combinations that a buyer might choose to buy (or reg if available) , which can drive the price for a long domain down ... eg. the word "world" can sometimes be replaced by "earth" , "globe" , "global" , "planet" , "terra" , etc ... now if the other two words have also a couple good substitutes , a long domain can be (in certain cases) one of many very similar domains or ... it might have a slightly-lower-quality alternative that could be available at reg fee ... also , usually , the No1 combinations for many marketable adjective-adjective-keyword , adjective-keyword-keyword and 2/3/4-word-phrase are already taken ...

Me too, long names are also usually a very loooooooong shot !

Although long names are difficult to remember but search engines love these names, It is easy for spiders if they found some keywords in domain name. I think there is nothing wrong to have long domain names if someone wants high rankin.

OMG !!!! 1.3 K ??? thats a hell lot ov amount for this un-understandable word !!

Long phrases do OK, too.

This one just popped up on sedo, "wevegotyoucovered.com" SOLD for $1,000.

It seems domain tasters have no patience.

I typed it in as "wevegotyoucovered" at google and looks like it got shuffled around like a hot potato last year.

I found out that most long domain names are not the company name it just redirect them to the company web page.
