debate Should we BAN the Premium/SuperPremium words from Domaining?

[donnied79]

I don't know what you think but after 10 years of domaining I'm super-sick of hearing the words "Premium" or "SuperPremium" in any damn domain sale.
And I'm guilty too because I often use these terms. And then I realise that they're the most useless words in the world since every domainer says that his domains are SuperPremiums!

Buy now the SuperPremium domains:

- FishingWithFriendsInAHotSummerDay.cars
- LoveIsInTheAirForAllThePeopleThatStillBelivesInLove.Irish
- CarRentalCheapAndReliableInDublin.us
- CricketSoccerBaseballFootballVolleyballPokerHorseRacingPassion.com

LOL. We all tend to fall in love with our own names. I think this might be the second most counterproductive factor in domaining. The first one should be hand-regging shitty names.

Agree the word "premium" is thrown out there way too often. I own some good domains. I do use the terminology "premium" to separate out my best domains that I feel are really category killers from the middle of the road domains.

For the most part I agree with Fancy Domains definition of premium. I had a few dozen premium new GTLDs that I recently dropped. The current renewal price of those new Gs combined with the instability of future renewal pricing of New Gs in general make it hard for me to consider any Gs premium at this point.

All you guys selling tired old premium names with lots of age should switch to fresh young names. I'm starting a trend to promote fresh hand reg'd names for high prices.

my new slogan - " Fresh names without premium prices".

As long as the buyers agree, why not!

IMO there will always be good, fresh names to register as new products and services come to market. I pay attention to the age of domain (for my own collectibility value) but don't think this has a lot of value to majority of end users. Only an SEO driven domain acquisition would even really factor in age for marketing purposes imo.

A few weeks ago I bought some "coin" domains. Like CoinAuditor(s).com. Maybe in 5 years that $9 purchase could sell for $2K or $20K. Or maybe it will be worthless. At this point I think the key is to limit it to .com and no more than two words.

LOL... I seen someone list a .info for auction and class it as super premium. It was that premium I can't even remember what the name was.

It was legit.info I guess, claiming to be a premium because it's a 5L. And surprisingly people are actually bidding on it. Well good for them.

It wasn't this one. It was some random word but not legit.

Same, I find those titles unprofessional that's why I never use them, but unfortunately they kinda work on new domainers and banning them would be a great idea IMO.

 

[Marshall]

Oh.. Ok @AndyM
Yeah these premium, rare, killer type adjectives are overused. So either we ban them or come up with some new ones like..

Here's my Kicka** domain/
This is the new sh**/
This one is Eden's Apple/
Check out my hot mamacita

 

[Kuffy]

Leg it .info - makes me think of run away from info as fast as you can.

LOL,

Domainer's logic nowadays:

- I have Leprechaun.info
- Leprechauns have a s**t load of gold
- This makes it a golden domain



P. S. I actually have Leprechaun.info

 

[Fancy.domains]

I snapped Lips.cc today.

Makes me wonder if I'm actually is following my own advices

 

[biggie]

ban the user, let the premiums stay




imo...

 

[Marshall]

Ban the 'calling your every domain a premium' trend, let the users stay



imho...

Thank you for this thread, I have now been able to incorporate all of these wonderful adjectives into my current auction and because of this I am surely going to attract a large number of bidders! Aint life grand!

[wakguano]

I think I will incorporate it into my catchphrase " As the premium coconut drops".

 

[Acroplex]

It's not premium unless it ends in .TOP
