We recently posted why it’s a good idea to categorize your listed domains. But what categories are domain buyers browsing the most?
Here are the most popular categories on Afternic by pageviews from the past 90 days:
- Acronyms
- Business
- Words & Phrases
- Real Estate
- Entertainment & Leisure
- Health
- Non-English
- Advertising, Sales & Marketing
- Technology
- Internet
Acronyms include the categories for 1 & 2, 3, and 4 characters. No surprise that this category along with Words & Phrases and Non-English are heavily browsed. Business and technology are well-represented. The autos category was a surprise to me; I did not expect it to crack the top ten, but it only reached #16.
This provides some insight into buyer demand. Use this data - and any data you find on other marketplaces and in forums – when you price your domains and when you consider which types of domains to purchase.
FYI, we have planned some enhancements to our categories. Let us know what you like and what you don’t like.
