Hey DTalk

it's more about "letter discrimination", which is being practiced among quite a few domainers.

but i'm just an "equal rights advocate" for ALL letters of the alphabet

imo...

What you are saying is that the letter X has the same amount of acronym possibilities as C, and a domain (LLLL) starting with Y has the same chances of selling as the one starting with A. Yes, I'm a racist...

Just to back it up, and show how ridiculous your claim is, I have dug up some data:

Letter A:

First Position Sales: $14957.01
Average: $679.86
Geometric mean: $203.55
Median: $159.25
Sample size: 22

Letter Q:

First Position Sales: $1,655.69
Average: $24.71
Geometric mean: $16.74
Median: $17.40
Sample size: 67

Acronyms for letter C (according to acronymfinder): 141
Acronyms for letter X (according to acronymfinder): 47

i will say just about anything, if it will make you think...


though i never said any of what you typed


but i'm glad you responded


here's what i will say and it's a trick question...



since, www.x.com is a "live" website and www.c.com is not, which has more value?

if "c" is premium, what is x ?

sounds like calculus or algebra


imo...

Cool so somebody hurry up and BIN on QID.com, only $12k

 

[tekz999]

All letters are premium. Just like ABC are premium in US, same as JQX are premium in China. Z is premium in Germany, etc.

Biggedon, the difference is that I'm talking in general, and you are talking about exceptions.

Premium letters are ones that have a higher occurance rate in acronyms of companies online - in other words, the words that consist a company's name have a higher chance of starting with a premium letter rather than a non premium one.

Whoever studied the statistics though(if anybody ever did) did not take into consideration any other languages other than english - therefore you can't really define what is premium and what is not.

Bingo...!!

...and there are 1.2 billion people in China - only 350 million in the US.


The stats only favour the 'traditional' premium letters because the US/Western economies come online earlier.....The Chinese are now online big-time.


Look to see the J's, Q's, & X's take centre stage, as the Chinese buy up their corporate & personal names and acronyms...

Exactly! However, if we check the amount paid by end-users for llll.com's, the most are paid by people from English speaking countries. China is coming up, and it might completely change in the next years, but it hasn't yet.

seems like we're all getting on the same page,

or at least starting to "think"outside of that box that was drawn for you to 'think' inside of...
