There is a huge difference between 5 letter domains and 4 letter domains. Earlier in 2008, I used to be a big investor in LLLL.com’s. Right before the LLLL.com market crashed, I got out of the market, made my fair share, and got into keyword domaining. Since then I have been keyword domaining, until about a week ago. I was surfing eBay for some good deals on domains. Then I found a 5 letter brandable domain, which I thought was a perfect domain for one of my upcoming mini sites.

Even though the domain had absolutely nothing to do with my site, it was just brandable. It’s kind of like Google. It doesn’t really mean anything, infact it’s just a random set of letters that sound “brandy”. That’s the biggest difference between 4 letter domains (LLLL.com’s), and 5 letter domains (LLLLL.com’s).  LLLL.com’s, unless they are CVCV’s or VCVC’s, it usually isn’t pronouncable or “brandy”.

Also, LLLL.com’s are normally easier to flip to end-users than LLLL.com’s are. That’s probably the biggest reasons LLLL.com investors give when they are asked why they are better then LLLLL.com’s when LLLLL.com’s can usually be found at much smaller prices.

That brings me to my next point. LLLL.com’s are much more costly then LLLLL.com’s for the most part. If you are going to get an average LLLL.com, which is normally unpronouncable, chances are you are looking to pay about $40. A nice brandable LLLLL.com can normally cost about $10.

Definitely check out DNUnderground.com tomorrow, because we will be discussing the absolute best thing about LLLLL.com’s, and why I along with my other successful domainers are beginning to invest in them. Please feel free to comment your feelings about LLLL.com’s -VS- LLLLL.com’s.
