Domains with an 'e' prefix?

DaveP · Sep 25, 2012

Hello all,

I have found some very nice FTR .co.uk domains that have an e prefix followed by a top keyword (maybe some would class them as premium).

Are these worth the registration?

Some example .co.uk sales with an e prefix:

eSmoke.co.uk - $1,500
eDates.co.uk - $2,379
eSalon.co.uk - $10,000
eFragrance.co.uk - $1,500

.. and many more!

What are your thoughts on these domains?

The ones I have found are just as good as the ones that have been listed for sale. Most are also taken in .com/.net/.org/.mobi/.biz/.co etc.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

They are brandable as opposed to exact match, so that means making a successful sale is more down to being lucky in someone really wanting a particular brand. You will be selling into an extremely illiquid market so approach with care. FYI I have etraveldeals.co.uk and eguitar.co.uk, but that's it I think.

My thoughts are. Don't go down the "E" prefix road unless you feel it associates. An I don't see it with the words/sales your listing, unless they were from a few years ago (dates of sales are always relevant)

Yep I have "epoint" amongst a few others - but they were registerered a long time ago
