Hi there,

Welcome to the second "Cyger Selects" newsletter.

In the first week, we've grown the newsletter list to 70 people. Thanks for being a part of this list.

My goal with this newsletter is simply to share the best domain name industry posts to ensure you don’t miss them.

However, I felt the first post by @TonyNames needed some additional context so I added some commentary.

I also created a very short walk-through video on how to clear cookies because @ShaneCultra pointed out an ongoing issue at GoDaddy.

Have a great week,
Mike

P.S. Have feedback? Did I miss something good? Just hit reply.

#1️⃣ Singular versus plural

Tony

@TonyNames

Today's Keyword Research Tip

Venture is taken in 360 extns, while Ventures is taken in 189 Extns only

But when used as a Suffix, Venture has 73K results vs Ventures with 207K

So when used as a Suffix, Ventures is better

No need to use your imagination
Just use Dotdb :)

Now teach them about Lab vs Labs @TonyNames .

This is one of the great nuances of domain name investing.

There is no one rule for everything.

If I could own Venture or Ventures in .com, I'd take the singular.

However, what Tony is saying is that the plural is better as a second word in a two-word combination.

But there are exceptions to every rule. For example, if I could own Hotel or Hotels in .com, I'd take the plural.

The key is not to follow rules. Don't blindly believe what I or some "guru" tells you. Think for yourself and understand what makes something better or worse.

#2️⃣ Short but long enough

Darpan

@darpanmunjal

Just analyzed the SLD length of the last 5K domain sales on Atom

Over 57% of sales were in the 7–10 character range

Short enough to remember, long enough to communicate meaning

Doesn’t mean long names don’t sell—
but all else equal, shorter names win more often than not

#3️⃣ PSA: Delete GoDaddy cookies

Domain Shane

@ShaneCultra

Having trouble navigating @GoDaddy domain auctions? Getting "wait" or having it lag? If you are using Chrome you may need to regularly clear out the cookies. Each visit puts over 400 MB of cookies to help you navigate but it also can slow you down. We want to bid and bid fast, this should help
