Hello Why are 3-5 letter names so much even if there so crappy like xame, hoo < going for like 50 thousand. Stuff like that makes no sense uhk.com selling for 15k, what the hell is uhk! xai.com 6k .... So it doesnt matter what the 3 letter domain says, it sells for shit loads? Thanks Tyler
Pretty much, but if the letters do spell a word then they are worth even more. It is because of the rarity - they have all been registered for a start, and there are (relatively) few three letter combinations, so like everything else, the less of it there is the more it is worth.
well if you do a search on google for uhk for example you get did you mean: university of hong kong so I guess one of the reasons these domains are so highly priced is because there are endless abbreviations from three and four letters combinations.
Simple. Would you prefer to type: mywebsiteisthebestintheworldanditbeatsthecrapsoutofyoursite . com .. or would you prefer to type: yai . com ?? Question answered.
I agree SoftCloud. There are many, many reason why these names are worth more. Here are my top 5 Reasons! *Rarity There are only 17,576 LLL.coms and only 456,976 LLLL.coms and there are almost 7 billions humans. With collectors, companies, private interests and other people who just want a short name, its easy to see the rarity in such a large number. *Acronyms & Abbreviations Business's, Schools, Stock Symbols, Text Type, Peoples Names, etc.. *Fewer Keystrokes Not everyone uses bookmarks or favorites. A domain name with only 3-5 characters is faster and easier to type. *Brandable Short, 3-6, character domain names are easy to brand. Especially if it is a pronouncable sound or word with no current meaning. Having a generic word domain name gives you the ability to make your own meaning/brand name! *Memorable It is usually easier for a website visitor to remember a short domain name especially if they don't know they will be re-visiting in the future. Also shorter names are more likely to recieve "word of mouth" traffic.
Thanks for that! Well can you give me an estimate on my current website? People are offering me 500 dollars www.gamerslore.com over 3-4k backlinks
Because they're rare & all bought out ages ago. Personally, I'd rather buy xai.com for $6k than uhk.com for 15k as the 1st one has a better letter combo even with the "x" in front & can be pronouncable as well
