Bizarre estibot valuation - BUT I LIKE IT!

Jimbojimbo · 08-01-2008, 05:38 PM

I hand-regged the name trampoline.tv and have since discovered its valuation on estibot is..

http://EstiBot.com Valuation : USD 3,200

For the life of me I can't work out why? Any thoughts as to what makes this figure so high.

Am I really sat on such a beauty of a name or is estibot just a bit CR^P?

treebytheriver · 08-01-2008, 05:49 PM

its the wordtracker numbers! 2529, that's alot!

Could you explain what they are?

mckennaronnie · 08-01-2008, 05:54 PM

If that is worth $3k then your portfolio must be worth $100,000,000+ Jimbo!

Estibot gives some crazy prices, i would not take any notice of it.

Regards trampoline.tv, i'd say the value will 'Go Up, then Down, Then Up, Then Down......etc"

I know my jokes are bad but i could not resist it (blame Jack Daniels for my bad jokes!)

You were around to listen to his jokes - I didn't realise you were that old. Or is this on eof those Scottish 'Highlander' things were you live for ever?

By the way, did Jack Daniels tell your the one about kicking his safe?

Seriously. There MUST be a reason that such a high figure is proffered by estibot.

Coastalguy · 08-01-2008, 06:02 PM

The dotcom shows an Estibot value of $340 000 and the dotnet is $29 000.
The .me comes up regfee.

Even though you can't rely on Estibot to get it right, it's still nice to see a .tv show that kind of value.

Good-luck with it,
ST

Pred · 08-01-2008, 06:05 PM

i'd say the .com valuation is the most way off there

estibot is ok, but you gotta take with a pinch of salt if using, has some handy features though

As I say with all auto-appraisal sites, use them only for novelty purposes only

bigdipper · 08-01-2008, 07:22 PM

Estibot seems to favor this one, but here's what i think is going into the valuation:

-1 word
-very high .com valuation
-lots of PPC action
-taken in all extensions
-very high Ovt and Wordtracker counts
-very high daily traffic figures on .com
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=499233
-tons of backlinks on .com
-Google/MSN numbers appear to actually be higher on .com than resulted on Estibot.
-Also note that the plural version - or "Trampolines" is also valued nicely by estibot.

I don't know that the valuation is "totally off" but i certainly can't/don't consider myself an expert by any stretch.

To me - these numbers don't seem "way" off. If Estibot said $30,000 - then i would say way off... but my guess would be somewhere between $750 - $2500... again, that's just a guesstimate or "range" where i might expect it to fall based upon the metrics i see.... (and scouring lots of names over the past few months)

the TRUTH is - as we all know - that the value of this domain (as anything else in life) is what someone is willing to pay for it at a given point in time.

Trampoline is a nice keyword......and a fun contraption!

teabag · 08-02-2008, 07:28 AM

the estibot value for this particular name with .COM extention based on:

Domain: trampoline.com

PPC Ads # 68
Max PPC Bid $2.62
MAX PPC Income/day $327.5
Overture/mo 114764
Wordtracker/day 2529

Especially , when estibot reports high Wordtracker/day - domain gets appraised
very high.
And actually, if this site/name gets traffic with MAX PPC income/day $327 - i would not sell it for 340K as it appraised.
So, my guess , this appraisal based on pure math , where high PPC and searches per day involved.

Len · 08-02-2008, 07:40 AM

The more I think about this domain the more I like it! Very nice hand reg IMO.

Jimbojimbo · 08-02-2008, 04:14 PM

Well

We'll get the chance to see whether the name is a piece of crap or an absolute beauty as some kind soul has put a sneaky offer in on SEDO and I've pushed it to auction.

http://www.sedo.com/auction/auction_...ed=&partnerid=

Now it's on Sedo I personally don't think it's a piece of crap any more and my guess is it will go well beyond the $3,200 valuation!
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=499233

It might be interesting to hear the suggestions of others as to the final price?

A free hand-reg for one year of any available .TV name to the person who comes closest to the end SEDO figure next Saturday!

Now that should make it interesting!

Len · 08-02-2008, 04:50 PM

I would guess at $1100

Jimbojimbo · 08-03-2008, 03:09 AM

I suppose I should confirm the rules for this game now we have at least two competitors.

The name TRAMPOLINE.tv has been valued at estibot at $3,200

I thought the valuation was a load of CR^P, but NOW that it is on SEDO believe that it is worth well above $3,200.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=499233

The present bid on SEDo is just $60

If NPers here might like to make suggestions as to the final price then the one closest to the final figure (above or below) will be the winner and will be entitled to me paying for one year registration of any available non-premium .TV domain name.

The end of the SEDO auction is the coming Saturday and I will announce the winner on Sunday morning.

Good luck

finalpoint - if name stays at $60 then I will donate the reg fee to OXFAM.

Jimbojimbo · 08-04-2008, 04:30 PM

Thought I would 'bounce' this 'Trampoline' one back as we only have two contestants at the moment.

jhansen · 08-07-2008, 12:43 PM

$140

Jimbojimbo · 08-08-2008, 02:39 AM

ALL ESTIMATES TO WIN THE PRIZE MUST BE MADE AT LEAST 12 HOURS BEFORE THE AUCTION BEGINS.

HEY - it's a FREE $17.99 sent via PayPal so you can buy the name of your choice.

Nem0 · 08-08-2008, 02:45 AM

Sorry gotta go with $70

gwkg · 08-08-2008, 07:55 PM

$90

Jimbojimbo · 08-09-2008, 04:18 AM

NO MORE GUESSES PLEASE

We have five contestants and here are there estimates of the final price for the wonderful FREE prize of one free .TV purchase (hand-reg) at GoDaddy.
