Numbers versus Letters Series (Volume I)

In our first post looking at the relative value of numeric domains as compared to letter domains, we look at median google search results for random NNNNN combinations (5 digits) versus LLLL combinations (4 letter). 

Here is the result of our investigation.


Graphing

Clearly, 5 digit combinations have many more google search results than 4 letter combinations.  Although google search results are only one element of the indicators of a domain name's potential value, the huge disparity is significant, and may suggest that the current market either over-values LLLL.com's or (more likely) significantly undervalues NNNNN.com's.

To reach this result, we tested 40 random combinations (20 numbers, 20 letters), and here are the results we received.
