These words showed up more than others in domains that recently sold at Afternic.
Last week, Afternic tweeted a graphic showing the top keywords in domains sold on its platform in February. The keywords in order are:
- the
- my
- for
- home
- i
- your
- of
- best
- new
- in
- ai
- get
- law
- and
- services
- tech
- real
- group
- life
This list could be very helpful to domain investors. Many of the words in here are “throwaway” words that you won’t want to target in domains (e.g. ‘and’ and ‘of’), but others are useful. For example, .ai jumped high on the list. (I sold three domains with ‘ai’ in them at Afternic in February.)
I think this data is more useful than Sedo’s search data because these are actual purchases rather than searches. Another keyword resource is Squadhelp, which provides data including sell-through rates for keywords to members.
Kudos to Afternic for sharing this information.
The My top 2? Sale prices can’t be that high. Those are early 2000’s prefixes.
List looks upside-down to me IMO.
I would follow Sedo’s search data before I would follow Afternic’s chart. Just my opinion.
Hi Mark, just to clarify – this is not search data. This is data from domain sales that took place via Afternic in February. It covers all domain sales and all extensions, so it’s a good indicator of the keywords that show up time again.
I know it’s not search data
