There are a lot more L-L-L.com's developed than I thought at first. It doesn't matter if most domainers hate the dash, end users and businesses are using these types of names for sites.
Other countries and languages use Q, K, Z, X etc. a lot more than english speakers, so an LLLL.com with crappy letters could be a good domain in some parts of the world. The problem is if you don't know what you're doing, you have to buy a whole bunch and hope to get a few good ones.
What does a business with a three letter acronym do if they want a short domain but can't afford their LLL.com? BNA company might want B-N-A.com for example.
There are only 17.5K possible L-L-L.com combinations, and 457.0 K possible LLLL.com. In other words, the ratio is 1:26. And I'd bet there are more three letter acronyms than 4 letter acronyms. So to me, L-L-L.com has potentially greater demand and also less supply. Ofcourse, pronouncable LLLL and nice letters LLLL are also good, but those were gone long ago.
In ten years time, both classes of domains will probably be in high demand. Look how LLL.com perception has changed in only 5 years.
Couldnt agree with you more hugegrowth... the other thing is... the countries that use "Q, K, Z, X " are almost all in emerging markets which are expanding exponentially as it pertains to internet usage. I came a little early before the full CVCV.com and VCVC.com rush without completely believing in them and here am I today so happy I took that chance. One does not have to believe in something to profit from it, think religion lol. I didn't like L-L-L.coms neither but entered that arena as well. Its all calculated risk when you look at the numbers.
