How to know that domain is premium

I have many domains which I registered as I thought they are premium looking.

But I am not getting any buyer. Can anyone suggest that what are the things we should see to make a domain premium?

    What do you class as 'premium'?

    Those that are not receiving much interest could be helped with some content and sold as a site rather than a domain.

    Are you talking about when companies list the domain as premium? I believe it needs to receive a lot of hits.

      Whether a domain is "premium" (unless it's totally obvious) depends on the skills of the person selling it at identifying and approaching potentially interested parties to whom, because of the nature of their businesses, the domain potentially has additional value.

      Domains don't in and of themselves have "value" more than their reg-fees: a domain is worth what you can sell it for. There's no "objective reality" about this, and no "big mystery" at all. It's entirely market-driven, and the amounts realized at sale depend on the seller's skill-set: no more and no less.

      How are you trying to market them? Are you actively identifying and approaching potentially interested parties? (It's not so good just listing them for sale somewhere and hoping people will happen to see them, you know? ).

    If you've already got a domain and you want to sell it, you would be stupid not to claim it's premium.

    If you're a buyer and want to buy somebody's domain, you would be stupid not to argue the domain is barely worth the cost of registration.

    Where these 2 positions meet, is a question for negotiation, and the real measure of how premium a domain truly is.

    As a seller of course you always have the option to find another buyer, if you can find one... So if you are looking at speculatively buying domains for resale, then you need to study the Market as a whole.

    I think you will eventually find things which are **usually** true of domains selling for higher prices in the marketplace, but there are always exceptions which don't follow the usual patterns. The types of things that add value, are things like:

    Short

    Memorable

    Brand able

    Easy to spell

    Easy to pronounce

    Dot com

    Common word(s)


    Of course not very domain has all these, but more broadly speaking a domain which has more of these types of attributes will be worth more than one that does not.

    Do you have the same problem with women? Seriously, compare a premium looking domain to a premium looking woman. There is not difference. You will spend money on both and unless you continue to throw money at both - they will go away until you register both, i.e. domain renewal vs. marriage.

    Hope that helps

    It's the most overused and incorrectly used term in domaining ... premium domain. Literally, anyone who buys a ratty old worthless domain puts it up for sale and calls it premium. A truly premium domain is worth money. It's commercially viable. People want it and are willing to pay a lot for it.

    A domain doesn't "look" premium. Here's some explanations of premium domains:

    What is a Premium Domain?

    A premium domain is a domain that has been previously registered, often because it has the potential of becoming a memorable web address. Premium domains have high marketing potential and many of them already receive significant traffic.

    When you buy a premium domain, it is placed into your Dynadot account, usually in ten to twenty days.

    Premium domains are also often referred to as: aftermarket domains, secondary market domains, high-value domains, great domains, or top domains. What is a Premium Domain? - Dynadot.com

    When you are looking for the perfect domain name to represent your brand online, an option that is rapidly gaining popularity is premium domains. Premium domains are domain names that have been registered previously and are now back on the market for resale. Premium domains are often short, memorable names that are made up of simple key words and search terms. You may also hear these names referred to as after market domains, pre-registered domains or secondary market domains. What is a Premium Domain Name? - Small Business Web Marketing

    1. Perceived Value – The perceived value of a domain in the domain marketplace will have a lot to do with whether a domain name is considered premium or not. As a general rule of thumb if a domain name is for sale (and has bids) for more than $1,000 then there is a good chance that it is a premium domain name. This is not a hard and fast rule of course but just a rough guidelines. Yes, yes, maybe the really particular folks will say that a truly premium domain name will sell for a minimum of $10,000 or $50,000 or what have you but generally speaking the $1,000 mark is a a good place to start.

    2. Memorable – The more memorable the domain name the more it is worth. If a domain is easy to spell, is short, is easy to pronounce, is potentially brandable, doesn’t have different variations on the way it could be spelled, and ends in .com then chances are you are looking at a premium domain name.

    3. Generic – If a domain name is an exact match keyword only domain name (i.e. petfood.com is an exact match keyword only domain for the generic keyword phrase “pet food” while petfoodabc-online.com is not). Use our type in traffic finder tool and our keyword domain repository to find only domain names that are exact match keyword only domains.

    4. Commercial Intent – The more commercially oriented a domain name is then the more valuable it will be. For example, a decent domain name in the “mortgage” niche may be more valuable than a decent domain name in the “rosebushes” niche.

    5. History – A domain name’s history plays an important role in helping to determine whether it is a premium domain name or not. The longer a domain name has been registered then generally speaking the more valuable it is. This is especially true for those who are interested in developing the domain name by adding a website and marketing the website as the age of a domain is an important ranking factor for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) purposes.
