It’s tough times for owners of LLLL .com domains that contain ‘bad letters’; and by that, we mean vowels.
Gone are the days that vowel purity dictated the value of short domains, including LLL .com and LLLL .com registrations.
Worthless domains with 4 vowels.
Nowadays, the more unpronounceable a LLLL .com domain is, the better.
“I’ve been ridiculed time and again at DNForum and NamePros, while trying to sell my quad-premium domain, AEI*.com,” says Marcus Z., who requested that we don’t publish his last name or the full domain for obvious reasons.
“Every time I start a sales thread with my domain at Flippa or NameJet, people don’t bid. Some actually commented that they need to be paid in order to take the domain off my hands, what an insult!” exclaims Marcus Z., visibly dejected.
The swift move away from vowel-rich domains, to ‘XYZQ’ combinations is a shocking departure from the norm of the past decade. Marcus Z. is now witnessing his once priceless investment become worthless.
Continuous pursuing of formerly ‘junk letters’ by Chinese domain flippers and their pushing ‘ad nauseam‘ by incentive-driven bloggers, have contributed to this madness.
If you have a quad-premium, all vowel LLLL .com domain, our advice is to delete it immediately, or bear the consequences of being ridiculed by savvy domain investors.
