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?

 

[larryharlow]

that reminds me of the longest words in spanish:

HIPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPEDALIOFOBIA

Don't bother... it's registered :D

I saw there was a reported $400,000 sale of prescriptionmedication.com at the Affiliate Summit Live Auction about a month ago. But, I don't see that confirmed or reported elsewhere as a sale. Perhaps it didn't go through.

long domains have fall backs though... short domain names are more prefered as it's more catchy and can result to more visitors.

lzy- "Pferdehaftpflichtversicherungen" means "horse liability insurance" in German ...

go to Goggle >>> click on Language Tools >>> put a text in the "Translate Text" box >>> choose languages >>> hit Translate ... (it also translates webpages)

Horse liability... :o

Thanks, wanted to rep but I'm already too fond of you. :red:

IMguru - it is true, some long keyworded domains can get high SE rankings , even more so if they have dashes ...

but ... there is a big possibility , that a surfer/buyer might not click on a really long possibly-lower-quality-looking domain and prefer to click on a shorter quality-conveying domain ...







jonh karr - this might be a good idea , if the long domain describes one of the products/services of the company (even as a trophy domain) ... but it would also drive the price down because usually people spend a lot money for domains either for the brandability/recognition/prestige potential or for the traffic ... people will probably spend a much lower amount for a domain to just redirect it to their site especially if it has many alternatives (unless it has huge traffic)







lzy - excuses , excuses ... lol

I think most people would agree that anything over 15 characters is fairly long.

I try not to buy a lot of long names however if I find a phrase that would be identical to what people were search... then I do register them.


I have had some offers on…

MyLandIsForSale.com
PropertyOfChicago.com
SolarPowerYourHome.com
PhilippineElection.com

Which happen to be some of the longest names I own.


Out of all 8000 names I own, I have never had a name get natural type in traffic like PhilippineElection.com during their recent elections. Surprisingly enough most of the traffic came from the USA, from some of the 10 million American/Filipino’s who wanted to view the results in their homeland.

If I buy or register a long domain name its going to describe a product or service for a company. Im not going to register just any long domain name

 

[DomainMayhem.com]

I'll take that chance.

Here are my long domains:

MedicalScienceDegree.com

WirelessAreaNetwork.com

VirtualWirelessNetworks.com

GlobalWirelessSolution.com

WorldWideWeblogs.com

WorldWideWebmails.com

WideAreaNetworks.info

I would take my chances with these names too! These are some really nice examples of long names that are worthwhile.
