When it comes to website development, we realize the significance of domain names. A good domain name is not only practical but also serves as an investment that can appreciate over time and potentially fetch a good price when sold. This is why many "domain investors" specialize in domain name investments. Like any investment, domain investing requires some techniques to help safeguard your assets. Today, we'll discuss what makes a domain name worth investing in, focusing on these four steps.
1. Consider the Domain Extension:
You might think that domain names all end in .com, .cn, .com.cn, or .net. In reality, there are over 4,000 different domain extensions, such as .cc and .vc. However, .com and .cn domains are the most common. For SEO purposes, there's a theoretical belief that domain names ending in .com are more favorable for SEO optimization. While search engines like Baidu may have adjusted their algorithms to reduce the significance of domain extensions, many people still prefer .com and .cn domain extensions.
2. Assess the Domain Quality:
Domain quality refers to the domain's prefix or the characters before the domain extension. First and foremost, it should be easy to remember, and shorter is generally better. For example, domains like hz.com (Hangzhou), jd.com (JD.com), or xdf.cn (New Oriental) are easy to remember, conveying their meanings effectively. Such user-friendly domain names can significantly increase user retention. If your domain is hard to remember, even with effective marketing strategies, users may rely on search engines to find your website. The meaning of a domain name is also a key factor in its value. Domain names composed of common English words or Chinese pinyin and abbreviations tend to have higher value. For instance, using meaningful and simple English words as domain names, such as "bank," or concise and clear Chinese pinyin domain names, like taobao.com (Taobao), loupan.com (Real Estate), mingche.com (Famous Cars), are considered valuable.
3. Create a Lasting First Impression:
Does the domain name leave a lasting impression? What is your initial impression of it? Is it easy to confuse with other domain names you remember? Share the domain name with a few friends, and then ask them if they still remember it after a few days. This is a critical aspect of assessing a domain name's value. The uniqueness of domain names and the inevitability of the secondary market create investment opportunities. Domain intermediaries have also emerged from this market. Many domain investors are targeting this industry, hoping to profit by acquiring domains through registration. It's no wonder that when large companies realize the importance of domain names and attempt to register them, they find that others have already done so. As a result, they often have to pay high transfer fees to secure the desired domain name.
These steps can help you identify valuable domain names for investment, considering factors like extension, quality, and memorability. Domain investing can be a profitable endeavor for those who understand the nuances of this market.
