Domain Supply and Demand

Are there too many TDL’s, the supply offered for purchase?

Lack of available top keywords makes one choose longer domain names.

As an investor one has to be resale careful.

As a business owner exact keyword needs may lead the purchase into less popular TDL’s.

Some Businesses have add compromised by adding abbreviations to their name like CompanyLLC, or TheCompany.

In the old yellow pages days it would be 123Company or AAACompany to get on the front page, first listing

The forces of Supply and Demand are at work in the domain arena.

PS Have a little fun testing domain supply .. go to your favorite expired domain search

Almost Zero Domain Supply

Select with no TDL’s, ie no .com, .net and all types … all 1 character domains – result will probably be zero?

Handful Domain Supply

Level 2. Now with no TDL’s, Select 2 character domains – result will probably be just a hand full?

Then 3 character …… still less than a page … then onto 4

Lots of Domain Supply

See happens when you search get into 4 and 5 character domains… maybe too much supply

Rarity of Supply

On the supply side there exists only 1060-1300 three letter English words.

Estimated with 76 words starting with an “a”.

AWL being one!
