   | Best Way For Apprasials I am somewhat new to the domain name game! I have some parked with Sedo and am receiving a few hits per day and click throughs. I was wondering what is the best way/accurate and accepted as a standard in industry and not too expensive method of having domain names appraised? I would have about 25 that I would like to have appraised. thanks |

 | Unfortunately there is no industry standard. An appraiser simply tells you what he thinks the domain is worth. Also there is no such thing as an accurate appraisal. Two different appraisals can differ by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Your best bet would be to try domain forums like this one. Or even free appraisal sites if you want a ballpark figure. But don't get too caught up with the appraised value. Of greater significance is the traffic your domain gets, revenue (if any) that your domain earns, commercial potential and a few other simple domain guidelines like length of the name, etc. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/149737-best-way-for-apprasials.html If you're willing to pay for an appraisal, there are hundreds of sites that would gladly take your money just to tell you their opinion of its worth. All the best.  |

| Apprasials first value is for commercial use like loan, lending, boat, car, baseball, steal, etc... second value it term like boat is worth more than fastmotorboat, or motorboat. third uses term uses like in google or yahoo in these "---" fourth overture type in the search "keywords" a keyword is a term used to get to a website with the same content. so if i have loan.com and i want to find a loan i just type in loan.com. loan.com is the perfect keyword. But if i want credit cards i don't type in loan.com i might type in creditcards.com so the valu of a word comes from the amount of type in traffic. Sample topic "bet" 237109 bet this is overture results bet 106 and park 22917 sports bet 16962 football bet 15320 bet online 13254 bet 106andpark 12390 bet com 11404 internet bet 11331 bet uncut 10999 bet uncut music video 8649 basketball bet 8575 sport bet 8132 ultimate bet 7642 bet music video 6838 bet award 6815 bet music 5988 bet .com 5534 106andpark bet ten top 5459 baseball bet 5272 place bet so this name has alot of way to drive traffic, Lets try betting 194291 betting overture results but in this case sports betting has better results "314228 sports betting " so let's got to type in traffic "125 betting.com " "12390 bet com " ok which domain name has more value? It is pretty easy to see like this the trick comes in other tld's and there are so many that are worthless. .com is king .de, .us,.co.uk,.ca,.cn, soon .eu .net .org .info .biz, .ws, .cc brandability is also something to look at and traffic and ppc income. traffic is a way to get internet user's to your site with the use of paid services these domain names are used to get income from ppc pay per click sites like fabulous.com, sedo.com, goldkey.com. the value there in in income generation per month. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=149737 like i domain that makes 10 dollars a month is worth 36 month's income three hundred and sixty dollars. unless it's a pure type in then it's worth 10 year's income or three thousand six hundred and sixty five dollars.. The pure type in is bet.com or hair.com but these names are worth far more then 3600 dollars so ppc is good for income so you can hold your domain name for devolpment or an enduser. They will pay for a quailty name. or increase you income from the website. I feel the value of a name is finding the right buyer for the name. Would you name your business the same as the domain name your trying to sell ask that every time you buy one. ps I have sold over 1000 domain names dt |
