Thoughts on Dictionary Domain Names??

[wm820]

New to this forum and would appreciate any experienced thoughts on Dictionary Word Domain Names..Thanks in advance...

Generic dictionary DOT COM's are the way to go!

They will hold their value. But keep em short.

Dont buy into other extensions unless they are single high searched words. Even then.

Thanks for the response. Let me clarify a little, what about derivatives of dictionary names? For instance one domain in my portoflio is noiselessly.com a derivative of noiseless which are both listed in the Oxford online dictionary.

I am sure many here have their seperate opinions, but I would be careful with derivatives unless they act and sound like something commonly used/sold/produced.

To quote Rick, ... Would that be a catagory in the Yellow Pages?

Many dictionary words are available to register in the .com extension. That's because they have essentially no value. Noiseless.com could be a good name for some type of quiet product; Noiselessly.com is longer, less commonly used, less appropriate for a product, and far less valuable. Sorry (& good luck anyway).

There are plenty of obscure dictionary words with no value, because they are seldom used.

 

[PKumar]

Yes, I see them.

Some words are combined with two words, clauses, parts etc. like ending with -ness, -hood, -some

What about 'removed probably pretty stupid to buy huh? Well too late I already did. What do you guys think?

Ah, the rules ... You aren't allowed to advertise your domains, other than in your signature, or the "for sale" section.

I didn't see it, but guessing he did you a favor.
