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.
