Premium Domain Names
Premium Domain Names
Premium domain names are superior to most other domains, either because they receive type-in traffic (also known as direct navigation), or because they contain valuable keywords in the url.
Type-in domains are said to be "worth their weight in gold" because they consistently receive targeted user traffic which can then be monetized. Most type-in domains are never developed into websites because the traffic they receive can be profitable without investing the time and effort into developing a site. However, developed websites inherently possess more value potential than parked domains --- even good ones. That is why keyword-rich domains are of tremendous value.
Domain names that contain popular keywords can be more easily optimized for search engines, and thus are extremely valuable for that reason. This is because the links to these sites automatically contain the targeted keywords in their url, which helps search engines determine what a site is about.
It is almost impossible to register a premium domain name, because most if not all of these names have already been registered. In order to obtain one of these high-quality names, you must either buy it directly from its owner, or purchase one through a third party marketplace or broker. There are dozens of sites on the internet that either sell premium names directly, or act as third-party brokers.
If you seek to buy a premium name, expect to pay significantly more than you would for a standard domain registration. However, like anything else in life, you get what you pay for.
