Yeah, I’ve made this mistake before. Just because a lot of businesses could use a domain doesn’t mean they actually want to buy it. I think it’s better to have a few real buyers in mind before spending money on it.
That could definitely affect how buyers approach negotiations. If Google is showing comparable sales and suggesting lower opening offers, some buyers may become less willing to pay asking prices. The interesting part will be how consistent these results are and whether sellers start noticing a...
Sometimes it comes down to timing and the right buyer seeing the listing. A name that seems average to one person might be perfect for someone building a specific business.
I wouldn’t put too much weight on either appraisal. They’re automated estimates, not what someone is actually willing to pay. The TikTok following could help if it’s bringing real interest to the domain, but the .xyz sale alone doesn’t necessarily mean your .com has gone up in value. Personally...
I’d first check if there are businesses that would actually want the name, then reach out to them directly. Don’t set the price too high just because you want a good profit. Also, be patient domains can take a while to sell.
look at competitors, or startups in the same space, and then you can reach out on LinkedIn with a short, personalized message rather than using a generic contact form.
For me, views would be more interesting if they’re coming from genuine visitors, but IP data can be useful too since it gives you another indication of activity. The main thing is knowing what each platform counts as a view or visit. I wouldn’t value one domain over the others based on those...
I usually cross-check domains with Ahrefs and Majestic rather than relying on one tool. Look at referring domains, anchor text, and the actual quality of backlinks, not just DR or TF. I’d also check the Wayback Machine to see how the domain was used before buying it.
I’d check the network first, mainly the fees and whether the registrar supports it. No point choosing USDT if the payment ends up costing more than expected or the wallet doesn’t support that network. I always double-check the deposit address too!!!
Mixed-language domains can definitely work in some cases, but “PerfumeFul” feels a bit awkward to me. If you have to stop and figure out what the name is supposed to mean, it’s probably going to be a tough sell.
Yeah, Unstoppable is a good example of where the newer extension might actually make the brand less clear. If customers already know the .com, moving to .ai feels like a risky change unless there’s a really strong reason behind it.
Definitely. I think using AI as a second opinion makes sense, especially for borderline names where you’re not completely sure. It might catch a use case or angle you hadn’t considered before letting the domain go.
Sale reports were definitely encouraging when I was starting out too. They make you realize that everyone starts somewhere, and sometimes seeing someone else’s win is just the motivation you need to keep going.
