cybertonic, don't get me wrong.
I just express my opinion. I tried the service, I didn't like it (I mean I disagree) and that's all.
Taking into account your title , garbage or premium, I can say that things are not so simple. You made a definition of premium domains and you stick to that. it's ok. As I can see there are many that didn't agree with the definition.
And of course I wasn't expecting papa Noel or anybody else to say to me about some names, if they are premium or not etc. Even if we had all our domains premium, there is always a need someday to find a buyer. Otherwise, you just have something called Premium domain. So what?
As for TLDs, you say in the definition
"For the .COM TLD (other TLDs, ccTLDs and gTLDs etc. have higher requirements):
* Full word(s) sequence must be referenced > 150,000 times in Yahoo.
* Full word(s) sequence must be searched > 500 times monthly in Overture. "
just describe ,if it applies of course, what metrics you are using for .net, .org, maybe .de, .co.uk etc
What are the numbers in there and what are are the barriers from garbage to premium (if any).
Are you using each countries overture (if existed) or what? You see my point?
If it's only for .com and US market, it's much more clear by what you say.
If for every TLD you are using US overture and for .fr names you require 10 times more US overture (not 500 searches as .com, but 5000 searches) you understand that you have screw the results. And what is the right limits for not .coms? 5 times more, 10 times more? And is the multiplier the same for .de or .co.uk and for .it and .net? Based on what assumptions? And if you are using specific countries overture, then the limit should be the same as of .com. Why should you changed that? And so on....
And why should you require higher numbers if other TLDs? Think about this a little. So I basically disagree on this definition part.
In terms of all the other TLDs I believe it needs much more work, because things are more complex anyway. That's what I tried to say in my first post. It's not only a matter of an english word or not.
And of course I don't feel bad because some domains didn't make it to be premium. Don't forget... I got 1. That's something. And this one was the latest I bought some days ago. So at least I am learning. At first I was buying garbage, now I am starting buying also premiums. This is progress for me.
kindest regards
