Short domains are often seen as premium assets, but have you seen cases where long domains performed better than short ones for branding or SEO?

In today’s digital landscape, could longer, more descriptive domains provide better branding, SEO, and memorability?

Do you think the value of short domains will continue to rise, or is the market reaching a saturation point?

Short is where it's as and I'm starting to limit my purchases to 8 letters or less.

Yeah, short domains do excel. But are you open to the idea that slightly longer ones might still boost brand impact?

Hey Bruce! Quick question:

Are most of your domains short or long?
 
Is anything really worth the price? Research diamonds, in some countries they can be picked up off the ground yet we treasure them because they tell us they're valuable. Short domain names are the best for established companies that have the bucks to pay for them. Smaller websites are better off with more descriptive URL's.

Interesting point, do you think that shifting perception could eventually make descriptive domains more valuable?

And your icon is awesome dude!
