[QUOTE="werejack, post: 2286736, member: 322964727"] On the other part of the question, what to look out for when getting a brandable name... As one of our seasoned domainers on tgis forum said, [B]brandable is a meaningless term applied to bad domains. [/B]i mean OUCH. That one still hurts as my focus is on brandables... But I digress, brandable is too subjective so names like Amazon, Facebook, Rolex, Samsung only work because of marketing and a quality product was consistently provided and after a time customers associate a brand with that service or product. Hireonman.com is a bad name for domain reselling even as a brandable. Now a combination of two short, proper english words that have compatible sylabbles and where possible compatible or complimentary meaning.. Then you have a winner. Examples... RedTime.com is two english words easy for any number of businesses to buy and build a brand around... Also note that the more popular the words used in day-to-day activities then the higher the potential value. OzoTime.com I short BUT ozo is not an english word so... Lower potential value. It could sell, but probability is lower and price will also be lower. certain words have wider appeal and are elegant or just have a positive appeal... Base Mark Park Time Book Post Stick Talk.... And then combined with the niche you are looking at or some other compatible word... Sky Snow Be Tree One etc. As a general rule, the more general the two words, the greater the nunber of businesses that can form a brand around it... Eg RedMark.com, RedBase.com can be used by numerous businesses, words are compatible and have widespread use by various users. But as you use more complicated words harder to type or without widespread appeal then it becomes less and less attractive. PlutoBase.com, Guwobase.com, Zonobase.com have little or no value... BUT one may argue that they saw zomato.com sell on brandbucket.com for $x,xxx... Well. That was one of the very few cyberspace users who liked the name, was willing to pay for it AND found it on brand bucket... For now I would advise staying away from the vague, stylist domains to market on brandable domain marketplaces... PS: the kind of names I mentioned above can still be found... I found one or two but they are HARD to find and need good judgment before one registered. If not, no worries, one can always beef up their wallet abd buy from the aftermarket at a slightly higher price but wholesale and still flip them later... [/QUOTE]
