Remember when everyone was buying 3D printer names like crazy? How about VR names? Drones? All of these are still massively popular items but yet the domain side of thing has sizzled to nothing. Why? Because regardless of the product or what the company does, brands will always rule marketing. Nobody wants to put what they do in the title anymore because there is so much pivoting and expansion. If they do label, they will go as broad as possible.
This is the reason for the immense increase in price for one word dot coms. They can be used by almost anyone and it doesn’t pigeonhole a company. The name no longer needs to tell the story. We have plenty of media options where you can read it. 40 years ago there weren’t references to quickly go and find out what they did so you would tell them in your name. Now you see a name, Google it, and find out everything you wanted to know about that company. It’s also the reason all those “hot” names are still in the hands of the people that bought them or in the next person that bought in to the hype.
I realize not everyone can buy one word dot coms. Especially at their prices. But you can apply the same marketing ideas to your purchases of two word or made up names. That’s why I say Color+Animal is a good brand. Red Rooster or Blue Dolphin is a nice brand. Things to think about before you buy Great3DPrinter.com Here are today’s names. Make sure to click on the names to see the current price and to help DSAD keep on keeping on.

Great advice in the commentary today. I usually follow this advice but sometimes I forget it and need to be reminded.
You see a lot of “your best ___ names” threads on namepros that are very popular, yet 96% of the names are junk, or fool’s gold.
Which is bad because it makes people think they should be buying these kinds of names. Sometimes I subconsciously fall for it, and end up buying an overly specific names, then regret it later.
So, I guess the moral of the story is that joining Namepros a couple of weeks ago has made me a worse domain investor. Let me get an invite to the dsad inner circle so I can interact with people who know what they’re doing?
Invitation sent 🙂
Are you pullin’ my chain? I didn’t get anything 🙁
haha a Future / rap mention!!! That’s not something I ever thought I’d see here. You’re the man Shane. I’ve followed DSAD for 2+ years now and really enjoy your stories and commentary on the names. I always look forward to the DomainSherpa episodes with you in them too.
Thanks Mike. Sorry about missing the approval on the comment. Since you were a new comment it threw you in spam. I appreciate you taking the time. I’m old but been in the rap game since Polly Wog Stew/Beastie Boys
