If you want to understand what type of domain names are in demand, a good person to talk with is someone who buys domains on behalf of clients.
Last week he posted data on the 500 most recent domain names clients have asked him to acquire. The numbers were pretty telling:
68% were for what Sweetman calls generic terms, such as Robot.com or RobotParts.com. 15% were for invented words, and 6% were phrases. Acronyms and surnames were 6% and 5% respectively.

If you want to understand what type of domain names are in demand, a good person to talk with is someone who buys domains on behalf of clients.
Last week he posted data on the 500 most recent domain names clients have asked him to acquire. The numbers were pretty telling:
- 84% of requests were for .com domain names
- 9% were ccTLDs (not including domains like .co that have become more like gTLDs)
- 2% were new top level domain names
68% were for what Sweetman calls generic terms, such as Robot.com or RobotParts.com. 15% were for invented words, and 6% were phrases. Acronyms and surnames were 6% and 5% respectively.
