The four pillars of value
Length — shorter is almost always better.
Extension — .com still leads the aftermarket, but premium ccTLDs and new TLDs have carved out real demand.
Keywords — exact-match terms with search volume attract end users.
Brandability — names that are easy to say, spell, and remember.
No single pillar guarantees a sale, but a domain that scores well on all four is liquid in any market.
