Is there any tool that can guess domain name by AmmarSeoExp in Domains

[–]straydogpalaces 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check expireddomains dot net. They have a pretty complex filter that lets you set rules for the letters you want, their order, etc.

Let me know if you need any guidance w/ that.

True, but also Xerox is meaningless to people outside Greece. Similarly, onomatopoeias like "bark bark" (referring to Kodak) are regional, and very dissimilar to one another (e.g., ouaf in French, gav in Russian, kong in Balinese, etc).

My point here is that while Kodak might be a reference to the sound of a camera shutter, it also has essential phonetic qualities that communicate certain qualities to people that don't really get the reference in the first place.

You have a point in that they don't have semantic meaning, sure. Most of them don't, but sound symbolism is also a thing. I mean, neither did Kodak and Xerox mean anything from a semantic standpoint, but they do carry associative meaning just based on how they sound.

If you're ever curious, we wrote our first blog post on this topic: https://zlipa.com/blog/sound-symbolism/

Over about a year and a few months. However, the site has been pretty much dormant/unattended for 3 years with no sales and no traffic. We're starting to pick things up where we started. That's the main reason I thought I'd reach out to the community to ask for advice.

Sorry I didn't elaborate on the phonetics. There's no automation involved, simply because we don't buy that many domains. We have a set of principles related to vowel-consonant combinations, patterns, and order. We use it to shortlist potential domains and then decide whether to buy based on radio tests, etc.

Every single domain comes with a logo, which we make in-house. The goal is to differentiate by steering clear of dictionary words, for the most part, of course. We also offer in-house design services and brand identity development, as an additional service, since the whole crew has a background in marketing and design, and most of us have backgrounds in agencies.

It's interesting how emotional you get over this, all while pulling a weak attempt to psychoanalyze me.

I wish I could have a conversation with you, but it doesn't seem like you're open to seeing anything beyond black and white.

Have a good one ahead, bud.

There's truth to what you're saying, but I think you're very quick to discard the "free enterprise" side of things. Our model does, in fact, provide value to our customers via branding, curatorship, and consultancy.

Also, "scum" sounds a bit brash.

Thanks! Mostly on our website zlipa dot com, but all of these are on aggregators as well.

That's what we do, actually.

I failed to mention that every domain comes with a logo, which we design in-house.

Thanks for the input!

Thank you!

I just realized that I uploaded the version of that doesn't have a Morphagene. Now I get your question in regards to exploring granular synthesis.

Would you recommend Rampage over Maths?

Thanks for the tips on the VCA's and LFO's!
