Are the following 3 words premium? Develop Developing Developer
*pure opinion based*
I see no real use for the term "Developing", as in the process of being developed. I cannot see an instance in which that keyword can be utilized by an end user (which is the ultimate goal).
I also cannot find any substantive evidence of that being a highly searched term which could possibly bring in organic traffic if you parked it or made it into a site. So from my opinion, there is no real $$$ to be made from this keyword... in any nTLD (unless it has a direct and meaning correlation with the extension... for example developing(dot)jobskills or developing(dot)websites *if those ever become extensions*).
Develop and Developer are much better names (again in my opinion) but their application is still limited. I would not classify them as PREMIUM,
highly sought after names (in any extension but .COM). I do not think you will ever see them breaking name sales records if they where sold on the market (in .COM). They would probably command a 6 figure sales number (again in .COM) but nothing to test the upper limits of names sold.
Just look at some of the top domain names sold:
VacationRentals for 35m
PrivateJet for 30m
Insure for 16m
Sex for 14m
Hotel for 11m
Fund for just under 10m
Business for 7.5m
Diamond for 7.5m
Beer for 7m
Casino for 5.5m
Slots for 5.5m
They all have one thing in common... all .COMs.
A little forethought on how things are moving and considering all the new TLDs that are coming out (and some that have not even been developed yet) and will continue to come out.
Take feelings and hope out of the equation for a moment and give this a purely objective look.
As a domainer, would you seriously pay a premium price for some of these names in .XYZ (or any other extension for that matter... out side of .COM/NET/ORG)?
Pluto
Cine
Civil
Bit
Placeholder
Potent
Prism
Doe... and the list can go on.
Would you be willing to buy any of those domain names for $5,000... Hell... lets say $500?
If you are like me and answer no... how could you expect anyone else to shovel out that kind of $$$ for these types of domains but yet these domains have sold to domainers (probably caught up in some temporary hype and artificially inflated numbers).
Those keywords listed above would be fine in .COM but we are not dealing in .COM, we are dealing in nTLDs and a massive number of new ones are still on their way to coming out.
That is just my perspective.
I already sold some .xyz domains for $5500
Just curious on what names you sold.
Cheers.
