Understanding Overvaluations by Appraisal Sites

pliddle · 01-29-2012, 04:03 PM

So while analyzing today's drops I found

atrasts.com (still available)

Estibot valuates it at $20,000.

I know, I have seen some absurd valuations on there before but usually they have some high exact keywords searches, or multiple extensions taken, etc.

This has only .info taken and that points to a site in Lativian?...

Anyways my question is how does this get that kind of valuation with no search stats to back it up? Just would like to see what people think.... Thanks.

You need to ask the developers.
But nobody should pay attention to automated appraisals anyway.
Use your brains instead

Its probably a Lativian word, too difficult to Sherlock Holmes it for an english speaking lad. Always think of what an automated appraisal site does in reverse and how you would build one. Once you do that you understand why the values they spit out dont mean much.
