Thanks James, I think you're missing at least a couple of 0's there.

It depends. Possibly.

If I printed 'BuyPersonalComputers.com' on the right billboards in the U.S., I could get a million visitors in 3 months to a site that was functional, purposeful, visually appealing and informative.

As far as I can tell, Personal Computers seem to be one of the most popular items in the modern world, and 'BuyPersonalComputers.com' is a highly memorable name that can be used very effectively in offline marketing, and can be easily forwarded to any company's existing website.

The truth of it is, that 'BuyPersonalComputers.com' is much more memorable than 'BPC.com' for anyone who wants to buy a personal computer, and therefore a much more valuable marketing tool for someone who wants to sell PCs, because people will remember the words in a name which relates to the concept of buying, and to the item they wish to buy, but a string of letters simply does not have any memorable associations.

The purpose of marketing a website is to get people to visit your site, and if you're actually selling anything, your site's popularity even in a local market can make the difference between astounding success and dismal failure.

Drastically undervaluing domain names in this forum can contribute to undermining the market value of domains in general by creating a false impression about the real worth of domain names to people in the real world. Have you ever seen the adverstising budget for a major corporation?

There are at this time:
[SIZE=-1]9,120,000 Google results for [/SIZE]"personal computers"
IF you search Google using "personal computers" in quotation marks which means that it is searching for the term exactly as it is used.

So what is the significance of this data anyway? That depends on your reasons for wanting a domain name for one thing. It is significant for my purposes because it tells me that there are a lot of companies marketing personal computers, and therefore there are a lot of potential buyers for such a good domain name as 'BuyPersonalComputers.com'.


IT STILL DOESN'T DETERMINE THE VALUE OF THE DOMAIN NAME.


A MEMORABLE DOMAIN NAME CAN BE A VERY IMPORTANT MARKETING TOOL.

But for "buy personal computers" keyword, only less thatn 5000 results.

...and if I announced 'BuyPersonalComputers.com' on a radio station in NYC, or strategically placed print advertisements nationally, or bought late night Tv spots in Chicago, I could attract a lot of traffic to my site, and SELL A LOT OF COMPUTERS, BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD REMEMBER THE NAME.

Thank you for your comments... I have a plane to catch.

You are right. Advertisement does work for any domain. e.g. youbuypersonalcomputers.com will be same but 3 characters longer.

 

[davjac]

Well, yes I am right, but YOU HAVE MADE A DUBIOUS STATEMENT I'm afraid, because IN REALITY, ADVERTISING DOES NOT WORK IN THE SAME WAY "FOR ANY DOMAIN"...as you have naively put it (!)

If you think that 'youbuypersonalcomputers.com' is just as marketable as 'BuyPersonalComputers.com', then YOU CLEARLY HAVEN'T STUDIED MARKETING AT ALL and aren't really qualified to comment in this situation.

The way that people perceive and therefore respond to marketing slogans in any type of media, is a very measured and well-documented science, which I am not going to start giving instruction on in this forum, unless you are willing to pay somewhere in the range of $250. an hour (USF), and I pick the hours with a 49% retainer fee on contract (if you're reputable).

In other news, I am impressed that this jet I'm flying in has a wireless connection at 45 000 feet, which is no worse than most offices I've visited this year, and still allows me to connect to DNForum.com and defend the concept of keyword-based DOMAIN NAMES WITH MARKETABLE SYNTAX.

Anyone who undervalues this domain name doesn't understand marketing (in my opinion), and that is about all I have learned from this 'discussion'.
