value only exists in relation to development/meaning; a name that is nonsense is just that. there is no rarity to justfy otherwise

when i started out - i did just that - i bought CVCV’s as they were the trendy thing. Thankfully i got them at a big reduction still to todays price - but it still hurts when i think about some of the offers i’ve turned down in the past for them. Well said Rafiq, “it is the niche of the site that brings in the traffic not the domain.”

To me any domain that is shorter i.e 2, 3 or 4 letters is definitely worth than idontknowhowtorememberthis.com But one can easily argue that remembering doesn’t matter if the domain expects traffic only by search engine. Both has their tradeoffs. Atlast it is the niche of the site that brings in the traffic not the domain. It’s just a name.

Hi,

Actually the letter Y is both a vowel and a
consonant depending on usage.

I remember in first grade we were taught the
vowels were: a e i o u …and sometimes y.

“Xqwz.com (which by the way I think is utterly worthless)”

Very true, you are not alone.

I agree, end users don’t care about that, if the letters match what they want, it’s very worthy for them.

Another thing, premium for who? for the english language? how about the other 200 languages or more in the world? Q, X, Y, Z can be very worthy in China, or German speaking countries, just an example.

How about numbers? the 4 and 6 are low quality? why? if it’s a sex site the 69 will be valuable, and how about the 4? 247 is very worthy, even the 24, imagine a brand or business that wants to tell the costumers they are available 24 hours.

I think a lot of domainers should look more to end users and to the world around, the “rules” are just a guide, not the law, it all depends to who you want to sell, and where you want to sell.

Kind regards

Your on the ball with todays post.

All this rubbish about whats in a domain CVCV, numbers etc.

Endusers dont care - As long as it meets there requirements and they are motivated to buy it.

Quality is king!

Buy domains that people shall want not just for the sake of owning a 3char or 4char domain.

Regards,

Robbie
