The names were chosen because they represent a clearly growing or already established industry in addition to fitting logically with their top-level extension(such as JohnDoe.Info, CutTheCord.mobi, etc'), making them intuitive to type, easy to remember, PPC-friendly, and straightforward to brand. I believe considering ALL 8 points described by Sahar as a marker for good domain valuation.

A name "Making sense" is a very subjective thing at times and most people tend to think that their version of "making sense" must be right. Often the right "pick" has a lot to do with choosing what everyone else would pick, if they were in the same shoes you were in. . . and being honest with yourself about that. ----answer---- Well said Adam, Cheers Sahar The “Does it make sense?” may be one of the hardest parts for people to figure out when domaining.

Many auctions for a top names have no worked to our luck and we started a ebay domain store but since we have 0 feedbacks - I think bidders think we are scammers and stay away. Estibot claims our portfolio is worth between 200-300K for about 40 names we have. Could anyone estimate what they feel these 5 domains are worth to see if we are in the same area: ReviewWrite.com - DevelopmentProduct.com - GardensProducts.com - ReviewsFilm.com - ProvideCustomers.com which are all for sale. We stay away from PPC Totally and redirect traffic to one of our properties. I buy strictly for the keyword terms - not traffic. We have a portfolio of a few dozen domains, some new - some old.
