Quad Letter Domains

Something I haven’t been following at all! This really did sneak up on me… it seems to be something that wasn’t very highly publicised. There’s a lot of hype and buzz on the Internet today regarding the LLLL.cn buyout and how people think this may affect the four letter .com market. Surely this can only be a good thing… the fewer domains there are available in any extension the mroe the price will rise. Whether this buyout will hold is to be seen, don’t forget that there has already been another previous LLLL.com buyout a few years ago. Needless to say the market place is far more stable now and its user base much larger and far reaching.

A few weeks ago I noticed that the number of LLLL.com sale threads being created at Namepros was on the decline. This may have been due to all the hype about the four letter .com buyout and how it is best to hold onto your names and wait for the market price increase. Today that day seems either to have been a glitch on the horizon or a momentery trend as there is a lot more LLLL.com’s for sale in the Namepros marketplace. Its quite possible that a lot of domain flips are taking place because some domainers see this as a good oppurtunity to make a healthy return on previous LLLL.com investments while the reseller price is substantially higher than it has been. Of course, without looking at and analysing the sales on a monthly / yearly basis it is very hard come to a definate conclusion, although personally, I will be keeping a keen eye on this, as always, in an effort to make sure I don’t come up short if the LLLL.com buyout doesn’t hold.

Well, its been nearly a month since I analysed the trend of LLLL.com sales on Ebay. I have to say that for LLLL.com investors the news is good. I have noticed a huge rise in LLLL.com sales prices over the past month or so. At the beginning of November 2007 average domain prices were around $10-$20. Prices have risen quite substantially since then whereby an average of $25-$35 per random letter LLLL.com has been seen. Many of the domains in this price bracket fall into the random 3 x bad letter 1 x good or 2 of each categories.

After parking a large amount of .info four letter domains I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of traffic they receive. I have no idea whether any analysis was done by the seller before I bought the names but almost all of the CVCV.info domains I bought last week are receiving an average of 10-20 unique visitors per day! I have one favourite that I already have development plans for. Some of the names may even have paid for themselves by the end of my first month of ownership! Watch this space for more info and remember don’t let the LLLL.com market overshadow the potential that could be released from other LLLL domain extensions. I plan to expand my LLLL portfolio in every direction possible from now on!
