Still hot in the aftermarket — AI is

It’s the number one seller on Afternic and will likely remain near the top for some time.

Domain names with AI in them continue to sell at a fast clip on the domain name aftermarket.

Afternic has revealed the top-selling keywords in domains sold on its platform from November, and AI is back on top. While it hasn’t consistently held the top spot, it has been near the top for over a year.

I don’t see this changing any time soon. Just this stretch, Identity Digital took over the management of Anguilla’s .ai namespace. Although Afternic’s list is regarding keywords at the second level, I think the added distribution Identity Digital will bring to .ai will increase purchases of .com domains with AI in them, too.

Here’s the complete list of the top 20 keywords in domains sold on Afternic in November, as well as the ranking from October in (parenthesis):

1. ai (2)
2. my (1)
3. home (3)
4. it (4)
5. group (5)
6. media (nr)
7. health (9)
8. bet (10)
9. house (nr)
10. auto (10)
11. pro (7)
12. real (12)
13. club (nr)
14. capital (18)
15. coin (nr)
16. tech (nr)
17. store (nr)
18. solutions (16)
19. business (nr)
20. global (nr)

Falling off the list this month: services, life, law, fresh, estate, your, auto, us.
