I think therefore it varies considerably according to the term to which you apply the prefix.

If it in anyway makes sense (i chat for instance) then someone will have probably registered a brand with it some time ago and that may now have value.

even if it doesn't make sense, I think the development of previous brands is what is driving the traffic e.g. eloans (I don't think it means "he loans"!)

but edoes! (edoes.net avail)

Also in internet terms, e can mean email and i can mean internet, so that might twist it a bit.

m can mean mobile

ibrew.co.uk google uk = 31 results
ebrew.co.uk google uk = 165 results

both available

[ Edit: ibrew gets 31 without the .co.uk ... ditto ebrew with 165 ...
My mistake... well spotted chaps ]

I don't get anything for ebrew.co.uk on google or overture.

ebrew - probably missed the H.

Interesting points made...

Call me an old fuddy duddy (not literally thanks guys) but i this e that
360 the other doesn't do it for me...

I can see a number of brands that use it (advertsing and corporates!!), and thats great. I usually try things with generic words such as "wine"...

ewine ?? hmm
iwine ??
mywine??
wine360
247wine

Are they really that good if you take th corporate out?? has anyone made any money from them?

e first

just obtained a couple, enationwide.co.uk and eabbey.co.uk after I noticed quite a few BIG biz are starting to obtain 'e' versions, don't think much of 'i' have had idomain.co.uk for ages

 

[Lucky Luke]

ivillage .co.uk/.com seems to work well.

why would abbey.co.uk want eabbey.co.uk or promote eabbey?
why would anyone else want to promote eabbey.co.uk unless they fancy a DRS?

I'm puzzled...

I picked up eBonus.co.uk this week Any potential?

 

[deconstruction]

i have sold a few e******.co.uk and i*****.co.uk they were not big earners.

But profit is profit

I picked up eAustralia yesterday which I thought had a good ring to it. Purely from a cosmetic p.o.v. (i.e. not based on sales) I'd say in general I prefer the e prefix, then i. There were a good number of v (virtual?) prefixes floating around a while ago but not sure many people bought into that.

Either way a prefix is going to seriously diminish value as opposed to the generic term. I'd have thought you are looking at around 10% e.g. Bank compared to eBank
