Hi guys, I'm interested to know what sort of criteria you use to find the jewels in the rough. To get the discussion going, here are some of mine:
.com: >500 OVT and >500,000 Google
.us: >20,000 OVT, >500,000 Google
.mobi: > 50,000 OVT, >500,000 Google
.tv >100,000 OVT, >1,000,000 Google
Max 20 characters in length. OVT scores per month.
I think most names that fulfill these criteria are worth grabbing at reg fee. I'll reg just about any name that meet these requirements. Anything below these numbers will have to be short, sweet, and brandable, and preferably contain a highly desirable keyword, such as Poker, Casino, Game, Real Estate, Credit, Business, Video, Travel, Hotel and so on.
Sometimes, of course, it's worth regging a name that just sounds really good, especially the 3-5 char names. If I immediately fall in love with a name, I may reg it regardless of the scores, although I don't do this so much anymore. Another exception is pure speculation: if there is a future trend that you think will be big, then it'll be worth grabbing the .com regardless of the present scores.
Having said all that, the only names I've had offers on do not meet these criteria, but are of the "brandable" type..... Just goes to show that domain name valuation is an tricky business.
