New York, NY- Rarity means value and that is an understatement. How many high quality domain names are there for Greater New York Media? How many for Long Island? How many great domains are there for your niche industry?
Frank Schilling, a domain investor maverick, has a way with words in his assessment of the scarcity of meaningful, descriptive domain names that rarely hit the market in the many different verticals in business. The cream of the crop names are long gone Schilling says, and he elaborates by saying “Even if you back-up and cast as wide a net as possible, our decade of research and experience reveals perhaps 5–7 million words, numbers and phrases which ultimately have practical utility as a domain name. As you dig deeper, you begin to discover that perhaps 100 domain names or less make a meaningful website or descriptive-name for any given niche topic, with perhaps 5 or 10 being of very-good or excellent quality. When you consider the hundreds of millions of companies and individuals which want to control their own destiny and enhance the location of their website, there simply are not enough “good” names to go around.” (NAMedia)
Long Island and Long Island media has how many category defining domain names? LongIsland.com (Website Since 1996) comes to mind first and is on auction today at the TRAFFIC Domain Conference in a competitive live domain auction held in Las Vegas ending at 7pm EST: Latonas.com. Rarely does a category geo-domain of this caliber trade in the open market. And how about the scarcity for a name for Long Island TV? LI.tv is your answer.
How many 2-letter combinations are there for any domain extension? Less than 1,400 based on a 26 letter alphabet and this clearly is evidence of the extreme rarity of a 2-letter domain. It is no wonder short 2 and 3-letter and numeric domain names have been such high selling assets. Growing up on the Long Island Sound we listened to LIR (Long Island Radio). The fast growth of online video and Internet TV has created an online video revolution. How many meaningful Long Island domain names are there that are gems for a Long Island TV channel? Major media companies are using the likes of TNT.tv, MLB.tv, NHL.tv and ESPN.tv as dotTV sites and online extensions for direct links to video content We proudly present to you a “diamond in the rough”, 2-Letter gem of a domain investment offering or joint venture- LI.tv! We love the name and you should too, because it makes perfect sense, doesn’t it!
