You’ve heard me say this before but I use one test to see if a “brandable” is a good brandable. I ask myself “Can I see this as a name of a beer I’d order” “Would someone in Oregon name their new IPA this?” . If I can, then I think it’s worth owning. We can then move to is it worth the price. Obviously a name can be a good brand but not be professional enough for some companies like Glitter Chicken (made up, taken in dot com, available in .io). I would absolutely pick up a case of Glitter Chicken. From that point it comes down to how much it goes for at auction or from a private sale. Although I have a zero percent chance of reaching out to buy a brandable name. It has to be part of a bulk package or at auction.
All that being said, the best prices in domains generally come from a company that is upgrading to a name or already has the name in mind for their startup and would like to buy the corresponding domain. That’s why number of trademarks and other TLDS registered are a great determinate of chance of sale. Your chances drop greatly if you’re hoping someone is going to look through a brandable site and pick yours as their new name. It does happen, but generally the brainstorm of a name is at a table and not at a brandables site. I’m sure Brandbucket and DAN have the statistics on how many people buy a name that wasn’t the page they entered through. If not they should. Because it shows desire for A name vs THE name the landed on. It also shows the value of their site.
On another note the Godaddy logo is fine. People don’t like it because its boring. Lacking personality. It copies AirBnB in the ball sack look. Look at AirBnB’s logo above. It literally is a pair of testes. You see that trending on Twitter? Nobody cares. Amazon’s Smile looks like a circumsized penis. The reality is people just don’t like change and brands like penises. Live with it. Godaddy is the brand and other than domain investors, I don’t think anyone knew that the crazy red headed stick figure was their logo and they won’t care about the GO……..or eggs………..or testes.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
BestSelf is an upgrade name for a popular company at bestself.co. And at the same time “be your best self” is a popular saying. Both are driving up the price on that one. It’s sky high already.
Also how many times is redshirts going to pass through the Namejet cheese grater?
Would it make a good beer? Exactly my thought process when I registered GoodDog.io. Then come to find out beer for dogs is actually a thing. Even better.
Sorry Aline but that doesn’t count for .io. Two word .io barely sell. I hope you prove me wrong though
