In aftermarket sales rankings — “AI” plunges

In aftermarket sales rankings — “AI” plunges

AI is no longer the top keyword in aftermarket domain sales at Afternic.

Afternic keywords ranked by popularity with previous month in parenthesis: my (2) group (3) it (4) home (6) health (8) law life (9) fresh (15) ai (1) us capital (7) best world solutions (11) property (13) services (12) construction tech (5) shop pro (14)

Afternic has released its latest keyword data for aftermarket domain sales, and AI dropped significantly down the list.

The data cover sales in October of this year. Following landing at #1 in September, the keyword AI dropped all the way to #9.

Here’s the list, with the September ranking in parenthesis:

  1. my (2)
  2. group (3)
  3. it (4)
  4. home (6)
  5. health (8)
  6. law
  7. life (9)
  8. fresh (15)
  9. ai (1)
  10. us
  11. capital (7)
  12. best
  13. world
  14. solutions (11)
  15. property (13)
  16. services (12)
  17. construction
  18. tech (5)
  19. shop
  20. pro (14)

It’s worth noting that these are rankings, not the actual unit volume of sales. Also, Afternic doesn’t break down sales by top level domain each month, so we don’t have additional insight into sales of domains with the .ai top level domain name.
