OK we all know what counts as a valuable domain name. I lose count of the number of times and the numerous sites shouting about loans.com, business.com and accommodation.com.
Basically it is single words that are focused and in a high value area that get the bucks. Everything else is running a poor second. Well, almost everything.
Has anyone ever stopped to thing how advertisers advertise web sites, holidays, cars, property, drinks etc. In fact almost everything.
There is one word and only one word in the English language that is universally used. Its not "the" or "that" or anything else but the word "get".
Think about it how many times have you seen advertised in the paper the term "get accommodation" followed by a web address you will never remember in a million years.
Why get?
It is positive, short and easy to remember. In fact possibly the only thing people can remember.
So if you want to get accommodation then getaccommodation.com. And getbestbuys.com, getlatedeals.com, getsupermodels.com and getfreebanking.com are the best names you could ever get.
These names are possibly the only ones where adding a name in front (get) does not detract from the domain.
This has recently been picked up by a number of the major companies. "Get" is now the most used extension for many, many large corporations.
At the moment I find I am sitting on about 100 of the most memeroble names on the planet. (I've tested these and found people have an amazing ability to recall these names).
Due to a change in my planning I am now looking at the possibility of shifting many of them.
I would be interested to here what others think.
( Before anyone rushes out and starts buying up "get" names be careful. I think only the .com names have real value and I and other people hold intelectual property rights over many of the names).
