Applying Linguistics to Domains

Anthony Van Couvering posts an interesting article examining the DomainsBot study on the parts of speech found in 4304 domains sold on Afternic.


The study’s goals were:

1. To identify the most successful grammatical types (or part of speech) for each class of domains, both for total value and for average value
2. To confirm the results of DomainsBot Labs Investigations #1, that lexical domains are more valuable than non-lexical names as the number of keywords grows


The premise that lexical domains were more valuable is probably not a new one and anyone involved in the domain business is probably aware of the value of choosing a relevant domain.
