Top keywords: looking into Auto

Auto is about more than cars.

Afternic has published its list of top keywords in domain sales from July. Here are the rankings, along with where the keyword ranked in the prior month in parentheses.

1. ai (1)
2. my (2)
3. home (3)
4. group (4)
5. health (15)
6. it (7)
7. capital
8. new (6)
9. services (11)
10. us (9)
11. life
12. florida
13. auto (8)
14. insurance
15. pro
16. studio
17. pay
18. bet (5)
19. best
20. real

The word auto appears frequently on the list. It was #8 in June and #13 in July.

I’ve always associated this keyword with automobiles, perhaps because the word car sometimes appears on the list. But looking through sales on NameBio, I realize this is a myopic view.

Auto is also shorthand for automation, and many domains that include this keyword are related to automation rather than automobiles.

Afternic does not disclose individual sales, but NameBio captures some that are made public. Domains sold at Afternic in the past year include MyAutomations .com, AutoImagine .com, Automave .com, and AutomatedAuction .com.

So, if you’re looking to buy domains with auto in them, think beyond cars.
