So are you saying that a more generic name would be better because it would have a wider target market. I can see the merit in this concept, but I think this would only apply to very low value names. I could reason that if I only have a budget of $50, so can't get a really good name, I might get something more versatile which could be used for other projects in the future. Or as the original registrant I might generate a whole slew of keyword combo names and pick the most generic so there are more potential buyers.
Still, in the long run I think a common phrase would beat something made up by a large factor. I guess it then becomes a question of the the quicker turnover and the return on the reinvestment against the higher long term return on a more specific name. Funny thing is I was expecting to turn this name around quick and use the proceeds to buy similar ones but when I realised how much it was worth I changed my mind. It'll be interesting to see if this was the right decision six months from now.
