Is it a two letter .com?

Three letter (LLL) one word .com?

Type-in .com monster like loan.com?

The best thing is Generic dictionary word telling u something. Like Toys ,cars, and other short name.

So in your opinion the SHORTEST most generic .com domains are the most valuable?

 

[oveber]

I like them best. They tell u something. Whrn u search for toys u type in toys. same with car, loan and other thing.

I agree fully..anyone want to give more specific domains for examples?

 

[namestrands]

google.com

 

[Focus]

ya think? lol anyone else?

 

[namestrands]

Just look at the advertising revenue on google.

Of course the big ecommerce sites like Ebay, Amazon would not be too far behind

What I am more concerned with is the domains of high value for no reason other than their intrinsic generic or type-in nature...without the search engine and good fortune, etc etc etc Google.com would be worth a few hundred bucks max, the company is what made that domain where as a domain with a built in value like toys.com etc is just plain near priceless by itself...since registration basically.

I guess what I am saying is that if money were NO object what domain would you have your sights set on?

 

[Onward]

I think there would be 2 categories here...developed and not developed...

Google.com having the most develped value Today (although I think the youtube/myspace/facebook type social networking web 2.0 domains may show higher value in the future.

I do not think undeveloped comes anywhere close, but if typo laon.com get half a million...I'd say a correctly spelled, one word, under 6 letters, highly searched, universal term would be worth at least 20x the typo.

 

[namestrands]

money no object?

well without a doubt it would be america.com, canada.com, england.com, scotland.com and even China.com and Australia.com

 

[Keyboard Cowboy]

I'd say casino.com and news.com are up there as well

 

[andrejc]

Flowers.mobi Just kidding.. I agree that those short, common 1 word (which is often searched online) .coms are most valuable.. Like sex, jobs, cars..

 

[Bill Roy]

Firstly, it would have to be an English 'word' at the moment, though that may change in the future. Any 'commercial' word such as toys, property, cars, phones, money, loan, etc.. All these have potential of $5+ million!

They also have intrinsic value in ccTLD's, only one person can own phones.com! There are a lot more than just a single company who want the domain as a .com, this is where sensible domainers invest in the same generic but differnt gTLD's/ccTLD's.

Things that are more often than not researched / booked online ie, travel, hotel(s), flights.

 

[O'Brain]

depends on time period and revenue potential.

Today these domains have potential ;

poker.com , loan.com , holiday.com , travel.com , tickets.com , health.com , money.com , business.com , b2b.com

one or two letter domains do not worth as much as theese domains.

 

[Chelsea]

If it wasn´t a question of money I would go for hotels.com - but only because first of all I would go for something I am interested in as it is most valuable to me.
On the other side, as in just any domain being most valuable, I think those are generic terms, the terms mostly searched for.

I'm sure dictionary.com gets a few typeins. Domain.com, shop.com, game.com etc
