LLLL.com – Going, Going, GONE!

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

What’s 4 letters long and going to have it’s value rise incredibly over the next few years?

“Golf?” Um, possibly.

It’s official (official: in the sense that every 4L.com owner in the World is declaring it), all of the LLLL.com domain names have been taken!

The impact on prices of short brandable names is evident in all the domain forums. LLLL.com wholesale value has doubled seemingly overnight.

Nifty Auto-Form Filler

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

We’ve all been there. New site, budget stretched a little thin and in need of some incoming links to get the Google Bot & Co to index your fresh new pages. Here’s where this excellent FireFox extension (note: it only works with FireFox) comes in handy. It’s called InFormEnter and it makes filling in directory submission forms a breeze.

Download the InFormEnter Extension

InFormEnter creates a small blue tab in the bottom right of your screen, right click on this to create new profiles with all your different sites details. When you come across a submission form, there will be tabs placed inside or outside (it’s up to you) the form fields. Simply click the field tab and insert the relevant info, like a description of your website. The InFormEnter extension is so useful and time-saving – download it and see for yourself!

Pronounceable LLLLL.com

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Hype is a powerful force. It has broken the bank of many fledgling domainers in the past. So, without further ado, I present the case for pronounceable LLLLL.com, the next big thing in the domain name game.

I have mixed emotions seeing guys buy names like rqpz.com (sorry if that’s your domain) and try and to sell it for $100 because it’s an exclusive LLLL.com. That is one ugly domain and no matter if it has 4 letters, you’re not getting 3 figures plus for it. If you’re a parker and not a developer, you have to invest in something that people, resellers and end users, will want. The marketing guys are looking for short, catchy names. Well, strike ebay, sedo and pretty much every pronounceable 4-Letter .com off the list. We’re left with 5. Like, the Jackson 5, brandable, baby!
