Behind The Keyword – Spotlight on “Capital”

by 7 Comments

Welcome to Behind The Keyword, I will be taking a look at the most popular keywords that sell, get listed and get developed. Whether it be on big marketplaces like Sedo and Afternic or specialty sites like BrandBucket.

Capital

Today we are looking at the keyword – Capital

Some Capital related statistics:

  • 1,420,000,000 results for the keyword in Google using “Capital”
  • “Capital” is the 199th most popular topic on the internet by domain count.(LeanDomainSearch)

Sales

The top sale is the keyword itself, Capital.com sold for $750,000 in 1999 in a private sale.

The domain is registered under privacy, registered in 1991 with 2 drops before that. So two registrants did not hold onto a free domain from the late eighties.

The domain just has a landing page that shows a logo of capital.com.

After the only six figure sale, there are 9 five figure sales. Tied for second place are two domains that sold in 2012. eCapital.com and ExpCapital.com. Both domain names sold for $30,000.

eCapital.com is a developed website that deals in factoring and providing businesses with working capital.

ExpCapital.com was registered in 2007, the domain is developed and deals with market making software.

Mike Mann owns GreatCapital.com and has it for sale at DomainMarket.com for a buy it now of $9,888.

New Gtlds

There is a .capital domain extension. Non premium domains look to be priced at Go Daddy at $69.99.

Donuts is the registry behind .Capital.

There have been 4 sales recorded by Namebio:

Disclosure: The author own one Capital.com related domain, and may acquire more in the future.

All domain investing is highly speculative, you may never sell a domain you purchase. A mention here is not a recommendation or solicitation to purchase, do your own research and stick to a budget.

    I am a ‘capital’ and ‘financial’ .com investor. I try to buy as cheaply as possible the most generic names in front of those words for which there would be multiple potential end users willing and able to pay full market value.
