📊 That's what we're seeing, and we'll keep tracking it. What are your observations on .si so far?

Until then, here are all the HugeDomains "SI" (Super Intelligence) sales we spied on over the last 7 days.
Branded vs. Non-Branded keywords and why you should be buying keyword-rich domains.
#domains
Here's something interesting about owning a generic, keyword-rich domain name.
My website, SearchEngines.net, gets most of its Google search clicks from queries that Google Search Console classifies as branded.
In fact, 77% of my clicks are classified as branded traffic, compared with just 23% classified as non-branded.
But look at the top actual search queries in the data:
search engines
search engine
best search engine
web search engine
all search engines
search engine directory
directory of search engines
most used search engines in the world
These are generic search phrases. They're not necessarily searches for a company or brand.
Of course, some queries, such as "searchengines" and "search engine net," could indicate that someone is specifically looking for my website.
But that's what makes this interesting.
When your domain name is also a generic keyword, the distinction between a branded search and a non-branded search can get blurry.
With a new website on a company-name domain, you typically have to build brand recognition over time. You also have to earn visibility for the generic keywords relevant to your business.
With a domain like SearchEngines.net, the domain itself matches the generic search terms people use.
Is it possible for a generic, keyword-rich domain to make branded traffic reporting look very different from what we'd expect?

JUST IN: U.S. Justice Department directs employees to use “super intelligence” instead of AI — including in official court filings — under Trump’s executive order.
As much as we love sellers sharing their sales, this one isn't real.
No such sale happened on Atom, and this email didn't come from us.

Looks like .ai might be going out of fashion sooner than we thought

Long term I’m not a fan of .ai however.
AI will be part of most software. Once it stops becoming a differentiating feature it loses its branding value.
Same way we no longer use the words “internet” and “digital” in product names.
