The State of Repeated-Word Domain Names
I was looking at domain names using Instant Domain Search, and I tried some domains consisting of words (or noises) that are commonly repeated over and over. Or rather, if you hear a repeated word or noise, chances are good that the word or noise is one of these words. My findings are presented below. Each item in the list is a word followed by the smallest number of repetitions of that word that is still available as a domain name (.com). I call this number the word’s Available Domain Echo Number (AEDN). For instance, “me” has an AEDN of 8, meaning that the shortest available domain name consisting of repeated “me”s is “memememememememe.com”. Interestingly, the URLs consisting of 9 and 10 “me”s are taken. Here is the list:
- Me: 8
- Now: 4
- Shit: 5
- Fuck: 7
- Ha: 15
- No: 9
- Yes: 6
- More: 6
- Oh: 5
- Badger: 6
- Spam: 5
- Echo: 4
As a control group, here are some words that are not commonly repeated, and their associated AEDNs:
- With: 4
- Spoon: 3
- Grim: 2
- Cheek: 3
This proves conclusively that the items in the first list have longer AEDNs than the items in the second list, as of this writing.
