I have been looking through the domain names for sale and I see allot of people selling what they call "Premium" domain names. What do you guy's & gal's consider a "Premium" domain. Allot of them listed as "premium" are not premium at all. If one thinks a .info, a .net, a .tv or even a .com that is not keyword rich and gets over 100,00 searches a month is a premium domain name, I personally don't think so. I mean LLLL.com is NOT a premium domain name. How many people actually search for LLLL? NONE.... As far as .info domain names, very few rank high in the search engines. Some do but most don't. I just want to ask my fellow DP members what they consider to be a premium domain name?
Premium Domains are domains composed of 1 or 2 (rarely 3 or more) Generic Words that (together) get searched very frequently (at least 1,000 times a day).
Well, premium domain names are whatever the seller says it is. While 2 or 3 character domain names are considered "premium" by many, so are just normal .com names. I don't think there is a clear definition. For example, a .info domain can be got for a $1.99, which clearly wouldn't be a premium name. For that reason, I go by a .com name as premium, regardless of the amount of characters. Zeek
A premium domain for me is a name that truely is a generic in a decent extention that is worth good money. You will always see people in sales threads call their names "premium" names when they are absolutely crap that people wouldn't even pay $1 for.
What are quality articles?Now what is quality?? Its just a marketing terminology than anything else. Seriously, nothing more than that.
I suppose that domain name is premium one if your potential (prospective) buyer consider that as premium domain name and it doesn't matter how short or long they are.
I guess premium domain is a domain you can sell with your set price of which buyers are more than willing to buy.
Thanks for everyone's reply. I personally think a premium domain names is one or two word domains that get at least 100,000 search's a month, easy to remember and is a .com. I totally agree though that in the end, premium or not, ANY domain name is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay.
A premium domain is a domain with generic words, short and also ones that are easy to remember. Also people with millions of dollars to advertise, to drive tons of traffic to there sites. When you have that kind of money to drive traffic then it dosnt matter what the domain is, it makes it a premium domain
^ I somewhat disagree with your belief that any domain can be made premium by advertising. Sure you can inflate the value with traffic. Think about all of these sites on television where it is like 52househeating.com, when they put numbers in these domains it just kills it and no matter how much advertising / traffic they get it will never be a yahoo or ebay
The term "premium domain" became bastardized when Godaddy started allowing anyone to set their domain as a "premium" one for a buy-it-now price which cheapened the true meaning of the term....a premium domain is that it's very short & generic, like phone.com or racecar.com, making it very valuable.
Well a premium domain consists of 1 or more generic keywords which have high search volume.. I believe extension doesn't play a big role only if it's 1 word
the LLLL.com of domain name is considered premium because it is a short domain name. Even if it's a jumble of letters and numbers that make no sense whatsoever, it's still easy to remember. Back in the day, a short domain name was important for that reason alone. We were always told to get a domain name that was memorable. For the business person, that was key, for clients to remember their domain name in case they want to buy product online. This was before keywords were important - now having your keywords in the domain name is more important. In today's times, from an SEO perspective, I would never buy a domain name that didn't have a keyword in it that I could use. Nonsensical domain names are useless to me, no matter how short they are. ALL of my domain names are keyword rich, period. Further to that, I never buy used domains. You never know who is linking to it or what the site was used for before you buy it unless you really do your research. You don't know if it was ever penalized. The list goes on for why NOT to buy used domains, even if they have high PR. But that's for another discussion.
