status-resolved Reasons why names are not selected for “Top domains”.

[nafti]

It would be great if NamePros actually told you why your name wasn’t selected for a “top domain”. I recently submitted (within the last 2 months) 2 .ca’s for “top domains” and both were rejected. One was a 1 word name with an Estibot value of $22,000. The other was a 2 letter, one word .ca which wasn’t “good enough” to make the cut somehow. I won’t list the domains here as I don’t want to promote them as this is not the reason of their post.

Maybe it was not lucky day for the seller. Just because it sold cheap here in an auction doesnt mean it isnt top. And, since you were following, you should have thrown the 100 if it was easily pronounceable.

i agree this particular buyer has good eye for these LLLL.com type names seen nice flips got np for $80ish here, sold np above-double.
u good, Abdulluh.100% right. defense rests

Yes but both of those names are worth more than 1K each. Anyone that knows the .ca market would know that.

Yeah sure but market ,market market. I agree with one only, the other no like I said

 

[nafti]

I have seen MANY names in the “top domains” section that is worth less than my names I submitted. Some CC names included.

So back to my topic. It would be nice to know WHY a name isn’t selected. I would also LOVE to know who’s doing the selection process. We are a community. Let’s know as a community who’s saying yay or nay!

I would say it is good as it is now because people make it personal and would attack if they know the person who made the decision about their domain.

Then they should have anonymous appraisals.

With appraisal section,,. and ‘top’ feedback too

Not “if rejected, dont submit ‘top’ again” wtf?

That’s fair enough but we should at least know WHY it was declined. Right now There is no reason. Just that it was declined.

If it is not top now then maybe wait if it is a niche and becomes top someday...how about that?

Nah, they liked anonymous appraisal idea

Believe “appraisal section” needs anonymity, more than ‘top’ but different topic altogether. Idea; if worry about identity who give feedback of ‘top’; can easily make it anonymous?

Heck mods, already ‘anonymous’ you can take step further, and get reply from “super admin” or something. Believe “super admin” is shared. get message from @Admin? There many ways feedback, while maintain anonymity. It’s Unfair.

Reason always been there, No submissions under $1,000 resale value (wholesale price). It should be a name that you would have no problem getting $1,000 offers here or sell for a min of that on NameJet or GoDaddy Auctions.

Some two word .net qualify for top domain not sure why ? .. I won’t even pay $10 for it ....Mod says they have a board of people who decides...at the end of day, it’s not the true measure of values I have plenty of names that I submitted and Mod didn’t quality them as top domain and I sold them over $5000 on np in one day of posting

Mod once told me too many submissions so they had to decline some; don’t quote me on this but I find this trend on top domains of np:

LLL.com for sure top domain on np

Western quad 4L.com have high probability of getting selected

chinese chip rarely gets selected....

@nafti just for reference, sure you've seen:
https://www.namepros.com/threads/the-selection-process-for-top-domains.1047414/

which doesn't go into the details you're probably looking for, but I'm sure the pickers get a ton of submissions and to create a personalized explanation for each rejection might take a whole lot of time. It would also end up with a lot of never-ending back and forth, as dn value can be subjective. Did you try to send a message to support, maybe they'd look into providing a rationale if through a special request?

What “back and forth”
there’s no reply possible? it’s anonymous.
There’s even no “appeal”?

Give us something, Throw us a bone ‘why’
“too many submits” better reason than nothing. better than no feedback, no reply..?

I have read the submission requirements before. I understand what you’re saying so even a quick drop down option for the mods who say yes or no would be quick for them.

I submitted a 2 letter .ca before for top domains and it was rejected. I then waited a few days then submitted the same name again which was approved. So back to the actual meaning of this post. A reason for rejection would be greatly appreciated.

 

[nafti]

An even “Your name has been accepted but a few other names are ahead of you for top domains so wait your damn turn” is good enough for me as well.

yes same thing happened to me...Mod response was too many submissions and they suggested me to try again next month

I don't know I don't pick them, I really think it's much ado about nothing. because very few names in that section sell. It's just an ego thing that means nothing.

I know that Cola.com, 678.com or RGR.com are premium, valuable names, they don't need a special designation. And that designation does not help anything sell.

Chinese chips no longer have a liquid value of $1,000 they are selling for half of that every day.

yeah that’s true but same thing can be said about western quad...in fact In average western quad has lower market value than chinese chip....so $1000 liquid value as rule is not really valid...they are plenty of names with for sure $1000 liquid value but won’t qualify for top domains ....

It would be great if NamePros actually told you why your name wasn’t selected for a “top domain”.

We used to provide the reason, but it was too distracting from more important matters that need our attention.

Unfortunately, many members when presented with a reason will attack, argue, or intentionally try to create headaches for us in retaliation. It's not a productive use of anyone's time.

I recently submitted (within the last 2 months) 2 .ca’s for “top domains” and both were rejected.

Note: You do still have multiple .ca domain names approved and active in Top Domains.

I submitted a 2 letter .ca before for top domains and it was rejected. I then waited a few days then submitted the same name again which was approved.

Yes, this is because the valuation is only one part of the process, valuations change over time, different reviewers may value a domain differently, etc.

Here are some other relevant posts about Top Domains that explain it in more detail:
