showcase Your best category-killer EMD (exact match domain)!

[Mary Muse]

Showcase your best EMD (exact match domain) -- that means one domain per member, please!

EMD's should be .com!

Looking forward to seeing some quality showcases...

Category killers (one-words, most of the time) could certainly be more valuable and superior to a "more specific" exact-match two-word, even if it's more descriptive.

It's all up to the prospective owners' visions regarding their brand -- .com's are an important and fundamental extension of their brand core..

In this forum, category killer is the same as premium. If one owns any domain, they think it fits for both, or any, criterias!! good grief!

@Bob Hawkes Sadly common sense, logic and reality is not to be expected here.

I'm going to loosen the reins a bit on the showcase rules:

Submit (up to) 5 of your best EMDs, as I know a good chunk of us have more than one we deem worthy of showcasing.

I can't edit the original post to update the thread requirements, so I understand if there's some confusion if this post is missed.

Cheers

I did find this definition of category killer domain name according to @EJS in a column about category killer, so i think my attempt earlier in the thread, was a bit off, and indeed the term is a bit more general than I had thought.

“category killer domain name is a domain name that creates a distinct competitive advantage for a company that is in, or that wishes to enter a specific industry, where that term defines the industry or a specific sector within the industry.”​

I feel a bit better that someone even as experienced and wise as Elliot actually changed his mind whether a name was category killer, showing that the concept is not easy.

I also found a column that @Rick Schwartz did on defining category killer domain names (back in 2012) and I like his operational way of defining it (although as printed yellow pages get a thing of past maybe needs some other equivalent).

"Pick up a big, old thick yellow pages and see if your domain name is an EXACT match with a category heading. If it is, you own a category killer domain name."
​

I also stumbled upon this in @bmugford website that has a section on category killer domain names, and seeing the great examples listed are helpful.

I realize that @Mary Muse required that names listed here by in .com only. I wonder is there also the expectation that they be English only? I like the example of scooter in Spanish that @Reddstagg gave if we are to extend it to other languages.

@Bob Hawkes Sadly common sense, logic and reality is not to be expected here.

But I can always hope as an optimist for common sense and logic! But I do see as you say, in some of the responses, that people are in essence interpreting it as premium rather than the more narrow way I was thinking of it.

I still think I personally have no real category killer domain name in .com currently .

I agree that the fundamentals behind a "true" EMD are fluid, so in a sense, it's always open to debate.

I think that it's opinion-based, with many domains falling into a "gray" area. Others stand out immediately and can surely be declared as true category-defining EMDs.

I respect everyone's opinion and threads like these help to clarify (for me at least) as we all can learn something on the regular!

Bob,

Thanks for your brilliant insights as always.

Unfortunately, my scooter is definitely still in park and won't be going anywhere soon. I specifically registered four scooter domain names, namely:

www .escúter.club
www .escúter.com
www .escúter.me
www .escúterme.club

in Spanish and used the acute accent over the 'u'. This was fine and GD confirmed that they had been registered. However, there seems to be some corruption of the words as they appear in my list of domains between two domains starting with 'X'. However, when I redirected them to Efty they appear in the correct order but they won't work as clickable hyperlinks on my Excel spreadsheet so there is definitely a conflict between English and Spanish.

If Domain Investing wasn't complicated enough already...sigh!!!
