V, e, i

[hookah]

Could you please express you opinions on how do you rate the domain names with letters (e, v, i) at the beginning (like eCow.com, etc. How do you estimate their Google and Overture potential (with or without the added letter)? Is i.e. 'e' letter more valuable than 'v' letter at the beginning of a domain name (supposing both added artificially) or not?
Thanks in advance for your opinions, H.

In my opinion, I would say that the letters 'e and i' have really become popular with domains these days. As for the value of the domain with that letter in the beginning would really depend on how long the domain is and etc.

"e" and "i" prefixes have fallen out of favor (at least at the undeveloped Wholesale level) since the .COM "hey days", IMHO. I think they CAN be excellent developed sites, and think depending on the core domain (following the "e" and/or "i") and being in the ".COM" they can be worthwhile investments for Resellers, as well ... generally. Values really depends on the context!
Not a big fan of the "v" prefix, in any capacity in my view ... I'm sure there may be a few exceptions.
All the best.
