A tip for domain buyers who frequently acquire baby names

A-tip-for-domain-buyers-who-frequently-acquire-baby-namesHello and Assalamo Alaikum,

Recently I published a post where I shared my recent acquisitions and couple of domains were Rosalyn.com and RobertMartin.com. As previously I shared which type of first-last names to buy but this time I wanted to give a little tip of how you can get more clear and will help you to quickly decide whether to buy this name or not.

For example, if you visit LinkedIn and type Rosalyn you will get to see 197,757 results. When you click People from left side bar the result will be 197,691. Not much big difference but this isn’t accurate. Looking at those almost 200k people you will jump in for buying the domain but hold on…

To get precise result, you simply need to enter “Rosalyn“ and see the difference. That will decrease the number of people but that’s what you are actually looking for. Based of those numbers you can decide whether you are still interested in buying the domain and how much money you are now willing to spend on it.

You can also check out for two word names like Robert Martin and “Robert Martin” to see the difference. On the very first page of both results check the names. I think LinkedIn needs to fix this because many people while typing in two word names won’t be finding the right person they are looking for due to huge non-relevant results.

Some of my latest domain acquisitions

Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,

My last post about domain acquisitions was started with a .net domain and I thought to start once again with that trend. But this time I have stopped myself from buying that many .net domains but I found the below domain being exceptional and was good to acquire in my opinion.

PINK.net – Although I paid high four figs for this domain, I still see this as a good investment. Holding the name for the right buyer to come in and knock the door. Couldn’t control myself in buying this top keyword which can be used widely for many different purposes. Joseph Peterson also discussed about this domain here.

Linnet.com – A bird name but can be the brand name for any company like software, nature, travel guide, real estate, flower shop, etc.

TheGarlic.com – I am fond of “the” domains which normally do well. Recently you must have noticed that ThePiano.com sold for $10,000. This one can normally be used for cooking, kitchen and restaurant purpose.

NTHN.com – Being very selective in buying 4 letter domains but this one is really good for someone whose name is Nathan. When I see domains with name and service/product/abbreviations that attracts me more because the probability of selling domain increases.

FitnessLounge.com – Perfect match for any fitness/body building gym and such names do well. Also I have MediaLounge.com.

RobertMartin.com – Two word common names are good to buy. Although most of the time people will offer you less than $100 and gives you the reason for buying domain is to develop personal and not business website on it. Some crazy asking price set by Mike Mann at DomainMarket for his two word names but don’t worry as I will sell it for a bit lower 😉

Rosalyn.com – How can I leave one word name when I cannot leave out two word common names. This isn’t a common name but I still see over 7,000 of people using this spelling in their names at LinkedIn.

MglGroup.com – Such names are to hold for longer period of time than the others but sometimes you can get them cheap and I don’t mind buying them and waiting for some years to sell 3 letter group domains. They do well when the right buyer comes in. You may demand for mid-high four figs or even five figs and I don’t see any serious group of companies will have issues shelling out that kind of money.

SrsGroup.com – Was acquired for a lot more than the above but I saw more potential in this one because it has more decent letters.

 

Care to share your recent acquisitions and/or give feedback on my purchases… Feel free to comment as I won’t mind whether it’s good or good 😉
