Official Russian LL.com Countdown

[thefabfive]

With the sell out of LLLL.com and potentially LLLL.net it's a wonder that Russian LL.com (that's right 2 letter domains) are still available. There are only 1089 Russian LL.coms in existence - with only 299 currently available.

Countdown:
Feb 5, 2008 - 299
Mar 22, 2008 - 147


So, I thought I'd start this thread to get the word out. You can find a list of the currently available domains at IDNs.ws. You can find a picture of the Russian keyboard layout here.

I believe all the double premiums are taken, but there are plenty of single premium domains available. My thoughts (please note I am not a Russian speaker, but this is my opinion based on over 2 years of researching Russian domains) on premium letters are:

Premium Letters - а, б, в, г, д, е, и, к, л, м, н, о, п, р, с, т, у, ф

Fair Letters - ж, з, х, ц, ч, ш, э, ю, я, щ

Poor Letters - й, ы, ё

Not Really Letters - ъ, ь (these are actually consonant modifiers, but may work as the second letter)

Please note this is just my opinion.

Yo (Ё, ё ) is the seventh letter of the Russian Cyrillic alphabet

Go to Dynadot - http://www.dynadot.com/domain/search2.html

and enter the names. That simple.

Ah, Cyrillic 2-chars. Nice. They will be nice as long as you don't try to mix a Cyrillic char with an ascii char, but these are not.

Guys you are simply wasting your money... Please read what vlad74 wrote above... Do you really think Russians are that stupid they wouldn't have long regged those LL's if there were any value in them?

LL's with the Russian letter "ё" are totally useless since "ё" is always replaced by "е" in written Russian.

I grabbed гщ.com as it was one of the better ones remaining

LOL... Now grab a Russian dictionary and see how many and what Russian words start with "щ"...

Seeing as there are very few (if any?) words starting with ъ, ь, or ы there really is no value in these remaining domains.

There is not a single word in Russian that starts with ъ, ь, or ы... so, yes, the remaining Russian LL.com's are useless... otherwise we Russians would have long taken them all.

I can't argue that what's left is not great. But I can see some uses for a few of them.

How many Russian last names start with щ? Or better yet, how many Russians have last names that start with щ?

Just like you would have registered the top Geo's and Category Killing Generics?

Of course you may argue that they won't get traffic. But then the facts are in. We know that they get traffic because we are getting it!
