What's considered a "Crap Domain" ?

[DomainDame]

I know this forum is full of experienced domainers. So, I'd like to know what type of domains one should stay away from.

What exactly are crap domains? I know everyone's perspective will be different on this...but I'd like to know anyway.

Thanks

crap.com

 

[Domain Jedi]

poop.com, dump.com just to name a few....

 

[Ian]

LLL.com OR NNN.COM

 

[VioxxLawyers]

Newbie.com :behindsofa:

 

[BostonDomainer]

I would kill to own crap.com, poop.com, and dump.com


But honeslty, a crap domain would be something like GeorgeBush.com

Domains with more than 20 letters.

 

[VioxxLawyers]

99.99% of all domains are crap anyway.

i have <edited> if anyone wants but i think crappy names have a lot of hyphens and numbers...

I think it is harder to describe crap domains than to describe good domains,
good domains get traffic even small if category is right maybe 2 or 3 visitors a week, generic memorable 2 or 3 worders,It is important to get names with traffic so you can grow your empire as your bottom line increases, dont reg 100,s of made up names because you will probably end up letting them drop and lose money. Try and get names that match how people talk/write and have good overture. crap name ashestray.com good name ashtray.com
TM-crap, generic-good

I've never run into such a domain. If worth registering, then worth at least reg fee imo.

Unless the name has a business and advertising plan in the works behind it...

Any name that cost you more to own then it earns is crap.


but the market is bullish right now and people are picking up all sorts of name that "could" have value later.

I have a few names I keep that earn nothing that are mememorable 2 worders, holding out for right endusers, while they earn nothing a couple i was offered over 1k for but still refuse to sell, there arent that many commonly used terms that are short that are stil available

Very simple, if your name ends in .cc (or some other random country code no one likes) its probably crap

1. Domains that one would try to dump off in every single domain wanted thread.

2. Domains that you have to spruce up the way it looks

3. Any domain that you have to write in ALL CAPS ^ L00K.com with 2 number 0 in the middle etc.

4. ULTIMATE RARE FABULOUS PREMIUM domains that you'd sell for $20

5. Dictionary words that members of Mensa look at & ask "What's this mean?"

6. Combos that don't make sense & you slap forum afterwards - WeightLossIceCreamForum.com

7. New technology that has come out that you found out about late & decided to grab something & slap "Forum" at the end - wiiWirelessRemoteForum.com

8. Things that make sense by itself for commercial value & you decide to randomly slap "forum" at the end... CornerStoreForum.com looking for offers starting in the mid X,XXX paypal accepted...

Sounds like you have a plan for the name and have been advertising it too

Here are some examples:

superfreeweb-hosting1.info = crap domain
trademark-of-google.com = crap domain, that'll also land you in crap
play-pokeronlinenow4free.org = crap domain
my-nintendo-wii.name = crap domain, like most (not all) wii domains
lettuceforum.com = crap domaim

You should get the idea.

lettuceforum.com = crap domaim

While I agree there are literally hundreds of HORRIBLE WII names currently for sale, how can you say lettuceforum.com is a crap domain? We all eat lettuce - in salads, on burgers, why wouldn't everyone want to talk on a message board all about the world's most exciting vegetable - lettuce?
