[QUOTE="ukbackorder, post: 2290339, member: 5382"] I don't see any value in any of these domains. If you are substituting a 4 for an A or a 0 for an O you are: a) never going to get natural traffic b) always going to lose out any development costs to the correct spelling I think people are losing sight of what a 'brandable' domain is. It is not a random collection of words that could be worth something as long as you throw lots of dollars at marketing. A truly brandable domain is a made up word or phrase that is worth spending money on - catchy, unique, and something where an available registration-fee alternative is not readily available 'call-at' is not even vaguely brandable or worth branding. Think about who would want these domains and what they would want to use them for. If you have to explain how they could be used because it is not immediately apparent then your domains have little value. You are trying to create value and meaning for a domain and *then* hope that someone decides they want it to do whatever you think they could use it for. If you are going to spend money giving a domain value you either a) buy a domain that generates that value automatically or b) get a registration fee domain that will benefit exactly the same. For example - 'hey guys if you want my products just go to run-across.com. That's run hyphen across .com not run across .com. What do we sell? Well isn't that obvious?' All these domains would *only* get any value from any revenue they generate *after* development. Even then they would only be worth a multiple of their income - the domains themselves are weak, and in some cases actually a hinderance to development. If they are free to register there is probably a good reason for that and it won't be because people missed potential goldmines of unused resellable domains. Why didn't anyone want 'trigger-off'? Because it's meaningless and contains a hyphen. etc The daily droplists are full of thousands of these type of domains. It is a very quick way to go broke using a domain generator and buying substituted numbers/letters, two meaningless words together or even with meaning but a hyphen and a very weak and unimportant market. I think you do well not to register them. I'm not saying these domains can't be developed. Just without development they are worthless - the development would have value not the domains. 'C0NCERN is nice as top level, when you have more then one brand in the house ' Why? 'Head-For, maybe could be used too. I see a hosting service or link-redirection taking this name? ' There are thousands of hosting 'companies' with far more obvious names and plenty of domains that could be made up immediately to convey hosting. If someone was going to spend money why would they want to buy 'head-for' instead of paying for [KEYWORD]hosting, [KEYWORD]host, etc Link redirection is done by shorter, better, domains and even then is not a very monetisable market.
