Some people swear by short domains – the shorter the better. Others go after long-winded, descriptive domains, several words in length.
There is an ongoing claim that such long-tail domains perform well in search engines.
If anything else, if the keywords are unique they stand a chance of showing up on the first page of Google, but the prominence is usually short term.
Regardless, these long-tail beauties are usually hand-registered for a purpose and their existence appears to be brief for a reason; they are usually related to an event and they’re dropped once the financial “hole in the pocket” becomes too large.
We looked up these 10 long-tail domains that were registered once and at some point they expired. It’d be interesting to know what their owners were thinking at that time; were they even sober?
