Question about domains... need some advice. - GoFuckYourself.com

abyss_al · 08-16-2004, 04:46 AM

are four letter domains worth buying?
whats good/bad about them?
does it matter what letters they are?

thankl you for your help.

alexg · 08-16-2004, 04:47 AM

nothing good about them if they're just some random letters

there are always a few available which you can find at deleteddomains.com

woj · 08-16-2004, 04:51 AM

it all depends on the domain... some 4 letter domains are worth a lot of money, others are close to being worthless...

abyss_al · 08-16-2004, 04:53 AM

how do you know which is worth something?

I would suggest you think about what it can do for you, or how you think it will come out with some SEO work. Is it catchy? and so forth.

thnx for the info

please don't invest your hard earned money in random 4 letter domains. you will regret it. of course there's always the slim change that a company will want your 4letter domain because they need it for their abbreviation, but most likely you're throwing your money away. spend your $7 more wisely and go deep into the mines looking for gold. you'll find this hard to believe, but you'll have a better change selling 4-WORD domains than 4-letters.

You should look for three types of 4-letter domains:

1) Words (dictionary) - value would depend on the "commercial" aspects of the word or on its brandability. "Porn" is a good word - go get it

2) Potentially brandable words - these will make no sense but would at least sound like something. E.g. Sedo.com. They could be worth a penny - the issue is how do you find the one person who'd pay top dollar to own exactly this stupid word

3) Abbreviation - NYPD is a poor example but some organizations and even companies may have a 4-letter combination that you could sell to them if they don't have it already. Recently, PRD.com sold for ~5K because the abbreviation corresponded to several organizations.

Cheers!

nice thread...thnx

I'm going the other way on this one

First off, all good 4 letter combo's are taken

no: qwyujkzxv

are all gone.

period.

And secondly, why to you is a 4 letter.com worth nothing, but a 3 letter.com worth say $1000-5000+- to a speculator and a 2 letter.com worth $20000-$50000+-.

I had maybe 90 of them at the most and they all got typein traffic.

Whether it be one two, five or ten uniques a day.

Plus, I made some average end user sales.

Mid 3 figures each.

So I put in $600ish in cash and I made around $2000 in 3 months after I sold some to end users and sold the rest to a speculator.

Good Luck

I'd stay away from x z y q 's but otherwise in the long term they are a decent buy..

Dirty F · 08-16-2004, 01:45 PM

Is boughtsold.com worth something? I dont know anything about mainstream domains.

And miamiclubcam.com ?

true. but you know how it is with someone just starting out, they'll go register mountains of 4-letter domains and be stuck with them. i'm sure you've bought/sold plenty of 4s.

plus newbies can spend their time mining deep veins and come out with gold. here's a few domains i got last 3 days for $6.50 each after networking at gfy and letting the gears spin:

cheerleaderclub.com
clubcreampies.com
clubcreampie.com
creampieonline.com
creampiesonline.com
throatjobfetish.com
aupairfetish.com
babysitterfetish.com
teacherfetish.com
twinfetish.com
chokefetish.com
chokingfetish.com
nannyfetish.com
rookiecam.com
trancesites.com
boardbuzz.com
cambuzz.com
sponsorbuzz.com
povclub.com
clubpov.com
ppvclub.com
clubppv.com
toetagged.com
highrollerhost.com
kinkporn.com
drmindustry.com
schoolgirlonline.com
taboobucks.com
voiceblogging.com
dancervision.com
penisvision.com
milfvision.com
upskirtchat.com
domainfetish.com
acsavings.com
accoupons.com
acapts.com
acapartments.com

they're not premiums, but I can use them all cause they fit nicely within my network. and i only spent $250 and some time mixing & mining.

remember, regarding 4 letter domains, I'm not saying they're worthless, I'm saying they're "worth less".

even i've broken down and bought 4 letter domains in the past:

InLA.com
InOC.com
TVHQ.com
DJHQ.com

and a few others.
