Why Investors Look at Registered TLD Count as a Domain Signal
A popular key many domainers, including myself, use when sizing up a keyword is check how many extensions are already registered. Takes about ten seconds and it's become a reflex. You could call it a vanity metric. Who cares if the .net, .org, .io, .co, .ai and twenty other versions are gone? You only own the one you own. Fair enough. But after enough years doing this, I've found the registered count tells me something, just not the thing people assume. It's not a valuation tool.
