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

Will you list your own domain name as poor one?
That is marketing strategy, I know definitely, when you are putting up your domain for sale, you must add something that could attarct buyers; be it premium or not, one adjectival promo must be added to attract buyers

It's like buying an old car - it can have problems associated with it - HP debt, or it could have been owned by a drug dealer.

Old domain names can be on spam lists, banned by Google, have porn associations or other difficulties.

That's a rather oversimplified approach. New domains, eg. those held for a year, can be equally bad or worse, as they are often registered via registrar specials and are meant to spam, phish or engage in nefarious activities such as spambot networks.

Old domains, on the other hand, command Google juice much faster when developed.

As always, due diligence is mandatory.
