How To Find Good Generic Names

A good generic name includes the
‘Billboard Test’,
is it Billboard memorable?
[[.....]]
A note about availablilty..
Good quality domains held by the World’s larger domainers
are certainly not for sale and
are valued well in excess of 100 times yearly revenue
These domain names are simply not for sale.
The cost of selling them far exceeds the known growth factor
so many domainers and companies are continually achieving.
Personally I have around 50 names I would never sell
due to either future potential, names sake or
the fact
the domains will attract so much search traffic
if developed correctly

A domain name that

How To Choose A Domain Name?
Domains article brought to you by Carson Danfield,
Posted on: 2007-04-16
[==>Social bookmark this page]
There's a saying in the Real Estate business -
they say that
the 3 most important things are location, location and location.
Well, in regards to a new internet business, it's
domain name,
domain name and
domain name.
[[.....]]
Why domain name is so important?
For one thing,
a domain name can help you to get traffic to your website. If you don't get traffic, you might as well not even have a website. There's no doubt about it, if you want to make money, you need traffic.
A domain name can help you to get traffic in a couple of ways.
First of all,
if your domain name is catchy and easy to remember,
that will help people to find your website
and to return for future visits.
It's also a good idea
if your domain name gives some indication of the type of business you have.
For example,
if you want to have a website that helps people consolidate their student loans,
it would be a good idea to have a domain name that contained some or all of those words.
You might do good with
"studentloans.com" or
"studentloanconsolidation.com" or something similar
You can even use hyphens in the domain name, like
"student-loan-consolidation.com", etc.
The point here is that your domain name should be descriptive of your business.
After all,
if you were looking for a new dentist,
would you be likely to visit "BigBubbaMotorcycles.com" or "GreatDentists.com"?
If Big Bubba is a dentist,
he's probably not going to get many new dental patients thru his website.
Let's speak about the domain names with hyphens before we move on.
Contrary to what many people think,
having hyphens in your domain name does not hurt your search engine listings.
Most of the search engines treat the hyphens as a space,
so the hyphens make it a little easier for them to separate out the individual words.
About the only downside of using hyphens is that
when people type in your URL,
they may forget to put in the hyphens and go to a competitors website instead.
Personally, I don't think this is too much of a problem,
since most people find websites thru search engines,
so they'll be clicking directly on a link to your website instead of typing it in by hand.
Again,
it's really important
to embed keywords about your business into your domain name
for good search engine ranking.
[[.....]]
Here's a good tip for you when trying to find a domain name that has your keywords in it - If you can't find a domain name that has your keyword and is still available, you should consider using sub-domain names instead. What's a sub-domain name? A sub-domain name is a prefix to a normal domain name. Let's say that you're in the retail computer business and you want to sell computers at your website. That's a fairly competitive business, so you'll probably have a hard time coming up with a good domain name that's not already taken. An alternative would be to choose some sort of generic term for a domain name and then use a sub-domain for your computer business.
For example,
let's say that you register the domain name "lowestprice.com"
That's pretty generic, wouldn't you agree?
Now that
you have that domain name registered,
you can create all the sub-domains you want,
limited only by your imagination and the size of your web hosting account.
Remembering that
you're in the computer business,
you could now have your website at the sub-domain
"computers.lowestprice.com"
Using this same approach,
you could go into just about any other business and have sub-domains like
"insurance.lowestprice.com" and so on.
See how it works?
Another good thing about sub-domains is that
they don't require registration.
You only pay to register the main domain name.
By using sub-domain names,
you can easily embed your keywords
and it won't cost you any more money.
And
the search engines treat each sub-domain as a totally separate entity,
so
your search engine ranking for one sub-domain won't be dependent upon
you having a high[[[[or-low]]]]] ranking for your main domain name.

Generic Name-
It is very important to note, that
your domain name should match to your brand name or product name.
The very name that you use to advertise your product
is
the name that you will want for your domain,
because that is the first thing
that people will try in their browser.
It is also the easiest thing for them to remember, and
whatever that is easily remembered,
will be
more likely to be tried out than the obscure domain name.

Choosing A Perfect Domain Name

[[.....]]
A memorable domain name is the best one,
because it sticks in the mind.
A perfect business name is a nice choice.
If you choose a phrase or sequence of the words that describes your product,
is also a good one,
for example, officestationery.com.
[[[[[[[[[ 'the edittor notes : ::::: i.e. the generic domains
]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
The domain names that arouse a visual image can also be used
as these are easy to remember,
like
GreenValleyResort.com.
Short names are much better than the longer names,
but
if adding the length makes more memorable
then
you can choose the longer one.
You should make sure that
your domain name is easy to pronounce, and [[thence]] soon
you will hear people talking about your domain name
many times a day,
in conversation,
on the phone, or
in other radio ads.
It is better to
avoid the name that only works in print,
and also needs to be spelled out when spoken aloud to be understood

The Advantage Of Owning Generic Domains
Published May 15, 2007 in Domain Names.
No one will argue there’s already a shortage with type-in generic domains.
Now take it 10 years forward, or 20.
A new startup is founded and its founders are looking for a domain name for their business.
Let’s say, just a random example ( ) their concept is to create a
funeral homes directory, but of course,
Funeralhomes.com is registered many years ago.
What are they to do? They go and find a different domain of course, say
Fuenralhomes-newname.com.
They put their site together,
hypothetically speaking,
a better site then[[than]] the current leader Funeralhomes.com, and start to market.
They happen to be experts and do extremely good job marketing, and achieve the unimaginable
– they become market leader.
What is happening with the traffic to funeralhomes.com
though?
users
who do not remember the complicated/creative
name of the startup
[[[[[[[[[ Fuenralhomes-newname.com e.t.c. ]]]]]]]]]
tend to remember the concept behind the name
(especially if they heard of the generic before),
and they type funeralhomes.com.
Traffic leakage goes up at funeralhomes.com
thanks to the new startup. Even if funeralhomes.com goes out of business traffic will still be there
thanks to the new startup.
the more traffic the startup command,
the more leakage.
[[[[[[[[[ 'the edittor2w notes : :::::
that's ex-actly the tragedy happenning 4[for]
flicker.com v. flickr.com
[[[[ o k o k , not so much a tragedy 4[for] flicker.com ]]]]]
]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
How’s that for motivation??
The cost gets higher as some users, even though acquired at great cost, “get lost”
This by the way is happening today every single second of the day and most companies,
I would guess over 99.999% of them, don’t realize it.
This is the long term power of generics.
It isn’t just about today,
It is also about those startups 20 years from now.
Whatever they gonna do, and those who succeed,
will (fortunately to generic domain owners) keep leaking traffic to generic domains.

Recently,
I finally ‘realized’ the power of generic domains while working on an Adwords campaign for a small business.
Either I pay Google to send traffic based on keyword searches to this particular business,
or I buy all the generic domain names around this business
and drive that type in traffic to this website.
Generics alone won’t solve the traffic issue, I’d still need to advertise.
But acquiring good generics would be a one time high-ish cost if they are already registered
(then there’s just annual renewals) for x amount of traffic.
Google Adwords, on the other hand, wants to be fed according to clicks or impressions.
And I could easily pay 600 dollars a month on Adwords.
That makes
spending 5 - 10k for good generics look cheap.
I wonder if Google will begin to notice if advertisers begin picking up generics and forwarding that traffic to their sites. And
I wonder if Google will step in and start sucking up domain names.
They sure have the computing power to do so.
—-ANSWER—-
Congratulations!I don’t think it is meaningful loss to big search engines that people have some direct traffic such as from domain names, as businesses need to expand, as you indicated, even with a good generic you are still going to buy traffic from the engines.As far as Google/Yahoo/MSN getting into the game and acquiring domains, I believe that is the end goal (wishful thinking anyways) of med size companies such as Marchex, NameMedia, ,Demand Media, Ireit.

B-Factor "je nai se quoi" and Domain Names
http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/wsj-worth-more-future-profits/story.aspx?guid=%7BD4BA89F9-B9CA-4526-9AA0-B0783323715B%7D
Quote:
"Rupert would even acknowledge that some part of his interest in the WSJ goes beyond economics,"... The value of companies should in theory be equal to the total worth of their future cash flows, Buffett explained. But some businesses, such as sports clubs, movie studios and important national newspapers, have an extra value Buffett called the "B factor." .. The B factor at Dow Jones is huge, probably second only to the New York Times in the whole world," Buffett said.
Ughh .. The New York Times? Come on Mr. B. .. maybe in 1978 when the BeeGee's sang about it in Saturday Night Fever. We can all understand the tenor of what Mr. Buffet is speaking to of course. There is a power, influence, branding and cachet value that transcends the cash-flows the business can bring.
Domain names are the clasic "B Factor" investment of course. Why else pay 140X for a name like snoringcure.com ($8,000+ at Snapnames.com today). It will be a frosty day in Hell when PPC revenues pay for that one, but I now own a great snoring name! I can sell products relating to the malady .. some of them may cure my snoring (much to my wife's relief). It is generic, descriptive,
easy to buy traffic for,
easy to arbitrage - I could probably live off that one name! Man you gotta love domains. NYT example notwithstanding.. Buffet is right.

Frank - I thought your business revolved around ppc as opposed to developing or selling domains?
If so, you are not likely to develop snoringcure.com to make a profit on your $8000.Or have I misunderstood?
***FS*** Everything is in development.. it's just happy coincidence that the best names to develop also bring a trickle of PPC revenues. In this case, the intrinsic value of a name as a brandable site, as a tool for buying traffic from search engines far and away eclipses what I can make selling PPC right now.

Frank,
Domain name newbie from UK here & a regular reader of your blog.
What volume of typed-in traffic would you expect for that domain name? What's so good about that domain name that prompts you to pay 8K? Why not develop a new snoring related domain name and save the 8K? I presume I'm missing something here!
JC
***FS*** Just a trickle John.. its about the intrinsic value of the name.

$8,000 could really be a fair price if you take the revenue that could come of it in let's say 5 year period. There are probably a billion if not more people with snoring problems. And I'm sure that cures for this aren't too cheap. A huge potential market and expensive products... I don't think it would take 120 years to earn those $8,000 back.English isn't my native language, so excuse me if this sounds stupid... but did you buy this name and what was the point you tried to make in the end?

Frank, what are your thoughts about highly-descriptive three-word generic .coms, given that you mentioned lower PPC names often are very developable. Do you own many/any currently?
For Example:
NewWirelessPlan.com
Do you see increasing value in these generics, IYO?
P.S. I was on Grand Cayman recently snorkling Hamburger Reef and thought about you working there. Coffee "on me" next time!
***FS*** I like compound search phrases providing they have a high overture style rank apart.. Reason? If people are searching for the phrase as a part of common vernacular via the engines, then it's possible to harvest those visits from the engines via arbitrage or paid search plays. Also the sitres are more recognizable to the average surfer as a common phrase they are "looking for anyway".. That said.. I also like memorable multi word strings if they are catchy and have resonance: seewhathappens.com <-- recent superbowl commercial.

B-Factor "je nai se quoi" and Domain Names
http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/wsj-worth-more-future-profits/story.aspx?guid=%7BD4BA89F9-B9CA-4526-9AA0-B0783323715B%7D
Quote:
"Rupert would even acknowledge that some part of his interest in the WSJ goes beyond economics,"... The value of companies should in theory be equal to the total worth of their future cash flows, Buffett explained. But some businesses, such as sports clubs, movie studios and important national newspapers, have an extra value Buffett called the "B factor." .. The B factor at Dow Jones is huge, probably second only to the New York Times in the whole world," Buffett said.
Ughh .. The New York Times? Come on Mr. B. .. maybe in 1978 when the BeeGee's sang about it in Saturday Night Fever. We can all understand the tenor of what Mr. Buffet is speaking to of course. There is a power, influence, branding and cachet value that transcends the cash-flows the business can bring.
Domain names are the clasic "B Factor" investment of course. Why else pay 140X for a name like snoringcure.com ($8,000+ at Snapnames.com today). It will be a frosty day in Hell when PPC revenues pay for that one, but I now own a great snoring name! I can sell products relating to the malady .. some of them may cure my snoring (much to my wife's relief). It is generic, descriptive,
easy to buy traffic for,
easy to arbitrage - I could probably live off that one name! Man you gotta love domains. NYT example notwithstanding.. Buffet is right.

Frank - I thought your business revolved around ppc as opposed to developing or selling domains?
If so, you are not likely to develop snoringcure.com to make a profit on your $8000.Or have I misunderstood?
***FS*** Everything is in development.. it's just happy coincidence that the best names to develop also bring a trickle of PPC revenues. In this case, the intrinsic value of a name as a brandable site, as a tool for buying traffic from search engines far and away eclipses what I can make selling PPC right now.

Frank,
Domain name newbie from UK here & a regular reader of your blog.
What volume of typed-in traffic would you expect for that domain name? What's so good about that domain name that prompts you to pay 8K? Why not develop a new snoring related domain name and save the 8K? I presume I'm missing something here!
JC
***FS*** Just a trickle John.. its about the intrinsic value of the name.
