One of the most asked questions is CVCV domains? Seems many people hold 4 letters domains, but not many of them is brand able or catchy names.

During my research for CVCV domains, I come across very interesting explanation of why you should invest in those domains, and what they actually represent.

This explanation was posted on forum and here it is..I hope it will help to everyone who want to know how this CVCV translates into your investments..

What is CVCV?
C = consonant (a consonant is “a basic speech sound in which the breath is at least partly obstructed”)
V = vowel (a vowel is “a speech sound which is produced by comparatively open configuration of the vocal tract, with vibration of the vocal cords but without audible friction”"
Note: definitions from the New Oxford Dictionary of English, 1998

In the Latin alphabet, the Vowel letters are A, E, I, O, U.
The letter Y can be used to represent different sounds in different words, and can therefore fit either definition (Consonant or Vowel) The letter Y is probably more often used as a vowel, but in this role is often interchangeable with the letter I

By general concensus, there are 13 letters from the 21 Consonant are called Premium Consonant Letters, they are:
B, C, D, F, G, H, L, M, N, P, R, S, T.
The 8 left (J, K, Q, V, W, X, Y, Z) are called non-premium letters

A CVCV Domain is a Domain consisted by 4 letters in CVCV sequence, for example, bade, beco….

Why CVCV Domains?
There are Lots of investors seek words that can be pronounced, CVCV domains often have a catchy sound to them and are quite brandable. They are short, easy to spell, easy to pronounce, and rhymes with itself.

There available CVCV Domains are limitted.
All CVCV.COM are gone, and more than 90% CVCV.NET taken already. Even for the latesr released .MOBI, 40% CVCV.Mobis are registed already (Most still available CVCV.Mobis are with non-premium letters)

Note:
There are total 15,000 CVCV domains only
(21 consonants, and 6 vowels . Letter Y acts as both consonant and vowel = 21x6x21x6 =15876, then remove the combinations with “YY” included, final number is 15,000)
If look the CVCV Domains with Premiun Consonants only, there are 6084 (= 13*6*13*6) Premium CVCV Domains only for each TLD!!

If you can’t afford to invest in generic dictionary dot coms, then invest in CVCV Domains

After many brainstorming, and years of experience in almost 4 different field ; logistics, consulting & coaching , PC repair and domain industry.
I finally decided to develop domain and offer various of services for many of individuals who contacted me through social networking. I help many of them to reach their goals, and now I’m ready to open the door to the public.

The most of my business experience comes from business management background, and as well Freight Brokering ( Logistics) . I spend 6 months behind the door to create training program for that field. It was very successful, but with the time I moved on with different opportunities, and as well focus more on internet based work. During the last 15-20 years ( omg..I’m getting old ) , most of the time I find myself helping others find the information, giving idea, creating marketing materials, and coach and guide them ” How to” or ” Where” or “What” to do.

To make long story short. Protycoon is very successful domain name blog ,and will remain publish the news. Today I take the pride to announce InternetReaserachExpert.com services.

Thank you guys for reading today post…

It was a while since my last post. I’m getting more and more social with other domainers, developers, and as well my next clients.

Domain industry gets floated with live auctions, newsletter selling domains to subscribers, but we missing the place to get social. Is it enough to have twitter, facebook , linkedin ? I’d say NO. I have all of this and more, but still love to hang out with other domainers, and there is simple reason WHY? We are sharing our knowledge, and learn as we go. The great place to get social with domainers is SocialDomainers.com

SocialDomainers.com is where domainers get together! Interested in meeting local domainers near you? Want to organize local events or join local groups to discuss anything and everything related to domains? Well, you’ve come to the right place. We are the premier meeting place of domain name owners, developers, investors and entrepreneurs.

See you there !!!!

This is pretty unusual that PETA ask for donation of domain name SEX.COM

DOM Partners is hoping to take home a hefty sum by auctioning off the domain name “sex.com” on Thursday, but instead of selling the domain to the highest bidder, we’re asking the company to charitably donate the domain to PETA.

Read more CLICK HERE

Televisions, news and all media again talking about sex.com . It’s long history behind this domain.

What’s going to happened?

” Watch Out Spam e-mails offer for your domains”

Typical domain scammer email.

I figured I would post this email exchange for anyone who hasn’t been scammed via email/Paypal yet.

From: Anthony Smith
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Dear Sir/Madam,

We would like to show our interest in your domain name xxx.xxx
According to information stated in the www.domaintools.com, You are the owner of the above mentioned domain.
We would like to know if this domain name is for sale and what would be the price.

We are looking forward to hearing form You soon.

Best regards.

==================================================
OK, the wording of this email just doesn’t seem right from the get go. Something sounds almost familiar about it… what could it be… oh yeah, I remember now… “Dear Sir/Madam, I am a Nigerian lawyer for the royal family…”

Maybe I’m being too cynical.
I guess there’s a chance this could be a legitimate inquiry, right?
I’ve been planning to develop this name for a while, but who knows when I’ll ever really get around to it.
I’ll figure a price and respond just in case.

From: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To: Anthony Smith
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Yes, it is for sale.
$950.00 USD

==================================================
I get a reply back right away.

From: Anthony Smith
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Would You sell it for less?

==================================================
Well that’s par for the course. Reminder to self: Use “Firm” next time.

From: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To: Anthony Smith
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Hi Anthony,

I’m afraid not.
Our original plans were to develop it for our web design business as xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and as a developed site I’m sure it will generate several times more than that asking price in sales revenue.
You asked me for a price and that made me determine the worth of the domain based on the lowest offer I would accept to drop my plans for the domain.
I am in no rush to sell the domain and am happy to develop it in the future when I have the time.

Thank you for your interest and best of luck in your ventures.

==================================================
Reply from “Anthony” takes a little longer this time.

From: Anthony Smith
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Well, we accept Your asking price.
Now could You please provide as with Your PayPal details so we could end this transaction?

Thank You.

==================================================
End this transaction… with Paypal? Not so fast.
(How many little red flags have you counted so far?)
Time to offer a little free education. Well, maybe not free since I’m going to ask you to pay 100% of the escrow fee.
Of course if “Anthony” balks at this, really wants the domain, and is legitimate then I could always offer to split the fee.

From: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To: Anthony Smith
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Hi Anthony,

Paypal does not offer any buyer or seller protection for intangible goods such as domain names.
For domain sales we accept wire transfer or escrow.com transactions.
Buyer pays transaction fee.

Thank you.

==================================================
OK “Anthony”, the ball is in your court and we’re nearing the end of our game.

From: Anthony Smith
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Dear xxxxxxxx,

I am more than sorry to say that PayPal is our only option.
If that is OK with You, we could go on. If not – that’s a pitty.
Please let us know Your decision.

Thank You.

==================================================
Ooooooo, wrong answer… and the little red flags grow bigger.
(Btw, what the heck is a “pitty”?)

Anyway, fear not for I have the final answer that will overcome this last obstacle and bring about a happily ever after ending for the both of us…. plus I’m growing tired of this game.

From: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To: Anthony Smith
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Hi Anthony,

No problem. Paypal will be fine to use on your end.
You can use your Paypal account to pay for the escrow.com transaction.
The escrow fee is slightly higher for using Paypal so I will pay half the transaction fee.

Since you seem unfamiliar with domain purchases and escrow I have already signed into my account and filled out the transaction information for you.
You should be receiving an email from escrow.com shortly.
If you are still interested in the domain just follow the simple directions at the site to complete payment and get the transfer going.

Thank you.

==================================================
OK, “Anthony”, last chance. It’s time to show the cards in your hand.

From: Anthony Smith
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: regarding domain xxx.xxx

Sorry, only direct PayPal payment.
Please let us know if You are still interested.
Thank You.

==================================================

Scammers are everywhere. Be wary of any offers that come out of the blue, especially ones that seem too good to be true. (The domain in question would probably fetch $250-300 tops on the board.)
And above all else, if somebody insists on using Paypal…. RUN!

Privacy is the control of one’s own personal information, control over what others know about one, and control over how others may use or exploit the personal information. Policies and practices for protecting privacy aim towards minimizing the collection of personally identifiable information. Therefore, the basis of privacy is anonymity, where no personally identifiable information is collected. Making compulsory, the disclosure of personally identifiable information, as under current WhoIs policies for domain registration, cause privacy to be undermined

For free speech, privacy is critical. For instance, if people are forced to disclose their identity, they are reluctant to fully express their ideas on account of fear of persecution.

The protection of anonymity further enhances the one-to-many characteristics of the Internet through which an individual’s speech can reach a global audience.

Privacy and data protection laws may apply to domain registrars’ WhoIs services and registrars’ participation in thick registry WhoIs services in various countries, particularly in the European Union’s member states.

Current ICANN regulations require that the Private contact information (WhoIs Info) of each domain registration be included in a publicly accessible Database.

The WhoIs database is the collection of information gathered by a domain name registrar from domain name registrants.

The purpose for which the WhoIs system is accessed includes:

1. To find out whether a specific domain name is unregistered and currently available

2. To identify the person or organization responsible for a domain registration or website on the Internet

3. To support technical operations of Internet Service Providers or network administrators, including assistance in tracing sources of Spam or denial of service attacks

4. To collect names and contact information for the purpose of marketing

5. To aid government law enforcement, other than intellectual property

When a WhoIs search is conducted, the information that is currently available about the domain name registrant leads to the name and address of the domain name owner.

However, when a domain name is registered, the personal contact information such as name, address, email address, and even phone number might be made freely available.

The domain registrant would not know who collected his/her WhoIs data, the reason for which the information was collected, and how the collector is likely to use the information

This implies that the private information is displayed and made available to whoever wants to see it, at any point of time.

Now it is possible to protect one’s private WhoIs information by switching the “public” domain registration to a “private” unlisted registration through a private whois service.

A private whois service protects the private information and shields against its misuse. Hence, one is protected against:

- Spam,

- Identity Theft,

- Data Mining,

- Name Hijackers,

- Etc.

It works in a similar way to having one’s phone number “unlisted” and it prevents people from gaining access to one’s address, phone number and other such private information.

A private whois service works by:

- Protecting the private information

- Relaying important communication

- Providing greater control

Protecting the Private Information

This implies that the private contact information is not exposed and is held confidentially, and protected by the Domain Privacy Protection Service. Instead of the individual’s contact information, their contact information is displayed to provide with the highest level of protection against spammers and identity theft.

Relaying Important Communication

Without a private whois service, those involved in spamming can obtain email addresses through harvesting and then use these for sending spam mails and redistribution to marketing firms. The email addresses can stay on record with various spammers and marketing firms for several years. With a private whois service, the visible email address is constantly changing, so it will change within a specific period of time and the previous address will not work for the spammer. The Domain Privacy Protection Service secures and maintains the real email address on record so that important information regarding the domain is received.

Providing Greater Control

The individual or organization subscribing to the private whois service retains full legal ownership and control over the domain registration. It is possible to sell, renew, transfer and change settings to the domain name just the same as otherwise. The domain control panel provides real-time access to easily manage the domain name.

Imagine you’re the owner of a successful Web site, but when you logon one day all you get is an error message. Or worse yet, the domain name now points to a site full of advertisements. That’s right. You’re out of business.

This happens every day because of a perfectly legitimate process known as “drop catching,” where people quickly snag the domain names owners have let expire and try to resell them or use the links associated with the names, which could be extensive, to create Web sites loaded with advertisements. You can easily avoid becoming a victim of a drop catcher by better understanding how the domain registration system works to protect your domain name.

Your Web site, with all the content you have so painstakingly added, sits on a computer with a unique address called an IP address, which is simply a series of numbers. A domain name is an address forwarding service that directs visitors to the site using this IP address. Domain names are used instead of numbers because most people find it easier to remember a name rather than a bunch of numbers. It’s as if you could dial your friend’s name into the telephone instead of his phone number.

You can purchase a domain name by registering it with a provider of domain services such as GoDaddy.com , the largest on the Web, or any number of other registrars. The name can be registered for just one year, for about $10, or for as long as ten years, for around $80. Many register for only one year because it’s cheaper, or they only want the site for a limited time.

At the end of the year, the registrar usually sends an email renewal notice to the owner. If the owner doesn’t respond to the renewal notice, the domain name will eventually be made available for purchase by someone else. Roughly 20,000 domain names become available every day because the owners allowed them to expire, or the owners didn’t realize that their domain name was up for renewal

According to the rules established by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers(ICANN), domain registrars have 45 days after the expiration date to notify the owner that their domain name is going to be dropped from the registry. If the name is dropped, the guidelines then call for a 30-day grace period during which the owner can still claim the name. After this grace period and then another five-day holding period, the name is dropped from the registry and anyone can claim it.

Since 2004, however, a number of domain service providers, starting with SnapName.com, have created an auction process for expired names which bypasses the original drop process and makes the names available in as little as thirty days. GoDaddy.com begins the auction process even before the names have officially expired; although it does warn the auction participants that the owner could still claim their name.

These providers of domain services each have tools on their sites to make it easier to grab expired names. They provide constantly updated lists of expired names, various auction services, search engines, and other free tools for anyone to quickly and easily find available domain names. Some sites also offer software for sale that further simplifies the search for expired and soon to be expired names.

With the surge in online advertising, drop catchers will continue to seek out domain names from sites with good traffic, anxious to exploit the established links. Protect your site and your business by checking the expiration date of your domain name. Relying on the registrar to send a renewal notice that could easily be sent to an old email address or get lost in the spam catcher, could cost you years of hard work.

One of the easiest things in the world is buying a domain name. Granted, there aren’t that many premium domains left. So how do you choose between buying a domain with a less well known extension like .info or .biz, or ponying up the cash to buy a premium .com?

It’s a simple matter of ROI. If you do your research, you can actually register brand new .com domains that will generate revenue if promoted properly. Or you can go the route of buying domains that someone else has registered, and trying to determine if it’s worth it for you to pay alot up front for a big return down the road. It’s up to you. So here’s a way to possibly get a .com domain that hasn’t been registered, and make money from it:

Step 1:
What products or services do you have access to sell? Are you going to do affiliate products, or can you do something yourself and charge money for it? After you answer these questions, move on to step 2.

Step 2: What keywords best describe (and I mean REALLY describe) what it is you do or are going to sell? Brainstorm, and use tools such as the Google Adwords Keyword Tool to find suggestions.

Step 3: Use a bulk domain registration checker like: Bulk Domain Search – Bulk Domain Registration and paste in the list of keywords the Google Adwords tool has generated for you.

Step 4: After you have found an available domain from the list of keywords, register it, and start hosting it right away.
