$43,000 Appraisal ... Can This Be REAL???

[DomainAuction]

I have a .com domain name i want to purchase...

It is 3 words, and est*ot appraises it for $43,000

ALSO the .net extension for this specific domain i want is already registered.

This is definantly a profitable domain name correct?

Atleast what? $3,000?

please let me know asap

I can't think of many 3 Word Domains worth $43,000 other than a strong financial term like FreeCreditReport.com

So more than likely the estibot appraisal is bloated unless the term has a huge word tracker, and many advertisers.

Check for the term in Google Keyword Tool, as well as Sponsored link Tool. It is hard to appraise a domain without knowing what it is.

Google Keyword Tool Results =
Approx Search Volume: October 9,900
Approx Avg Search Volume 12,100

^^^ those are for the 3 words combined (ex. "me you her")

I dont want to supply the domain because i havnt purchased it yet.

Reason i havnt purchased it is because i want to buy it in every extension so no1 else can get them.

 

[bmugford]

Those are not huge search volumes. Unless it is some really strong financial type term I don't think it is worth $43K. Other than that it is hard to put an exact price on it.

It is like asking someone to appraise my car by telling someone how fast it goes, without any other information.

 

[DomainAuction]

I know exactly what you mean. However it is a .com extension this appraisal is for also if it says $43k that means its atleast worth 2x the reg fee though no? lol

Anyways, i appreciare your input very much.
Once i purchase the domain (most likley tonight or 2mar) i will let you know what it is!

For the time being, please check the PM i sent you in regards to a thread you have.

Thanks once again.

IF ANYONE ELSE HAS INPUT please help out, i'd appreciate it

estibot is good for many things, but i dont believe that appraisals is one of them.

it depends on algorithms and equations which don't necessarily come into play when your shopping it to end-users. and plus, 1 good domain by itself doesn't necessarily translate into a sale.

so for domain resellers, it's important to carry many domain names. because some names just won't work out, but the ones that do make all the effort worth it.

OnlineForexTrading.com sold for a very similar amount, I remember (around 45k, I think). So yes, a three word .com can fetch you a huge amount, provided its a huge keyword

Register it at Dynadot, so at least if the name is not ok in the view of many domainers, you could get part of the money back.

The thing is... there is not TOO many results for this term on the engines however there is over 10,000 EXACT phrase searches per month for this 3 word domain i want to buy.

Now if i correctly promote and submit this url into all search engines, it can produce a lot of profit if it is developed.

10k per month x 12 monthes = WAY more than reg fee.

I know it can generate more than 2k a year at the minimum however i plan on just selling it right away.

Anyways, i will post the domain later today when registered, thank you to all who have responded =)

Dude, it is what $10 to reg it. Just reg it already.

Estibot is based on odds. What is the average price for domains with 10K overture....2K wordtracker ..... 5 Million google and so on, then mix them together with priority to those that track more closely. Add some sugar and salt and voila, an appraisal.

A lot of assumptions are mixed in, one glaring one is that the data only concerns the domains that are sold, neglecting those with similar stats that buyers reject (Esa knows this, but there is no data for sales that do not exist).

So what you get is an average --- the average domain with these stats could sell for $$$$$. Of course no doman is average. But if you had a bunch of them then, while some would be near worthless, others would be worth more.

With common sense you can eliminate most of the near worthless ones, sadly, your fellow domainers have likely bought up those worth a lot. But for reg fee, unless it is a trademark or a famous person's name, I'd take a chance.

i can give u 50% in np$ to buy the domain here (at namepros) and u give me 30% of the domain value after sale :D
is that ok for you :D

appraisal scripts or websites are not capable of appraising domains - only DOMAINERS can! :gn: :talk:

If it is financial I could see it going for lower $##,### but 43 is for sure on the high end.

I have a three word Forex name that gets $5 clicks at Sedo and $12 at Fabulous so its possible for three word dot coms to command premium prices if they have high number s of natural traffic.

Don't make calculations like this ... it simply is not worth it.

Exact phrase searches according to what? Wordtracker? KeywordDiscovery? Overture? Google Trends?

What is the average Adwords PPC bid? Is it above $1 at least? And don't forget, development is another issue. submitting to search engines will not help.

Take my advice and buy it from Dynadot so you can get your regfee back in case it is not ok. Just in case.

If you can't see enough inherent value to reg this name, its probably worth way less than $43 K...

hit the nail on the head there.
