domain Appraisal Formula ?

[UrbelT]

Hey everyone, for those of you who have not seen my post yet about the new tool i'm going to be releasing please check it out, I still need some ideas for a domain name appraisal formula so that I can make an estimated instant appraisel tool on the site.

Check out the thread for more info.. : http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40567

Let me know what you guys think, either reply their or here, does not really matter.

Thanks

I dont really like automated estimates. I tried a few and it said my doamins are worth $1200+

If you are looking to make something automated, factor in:
Search results on overture
tld extention
amount of words in the doman
amount of letters

and things like that

very interesting.. Please keep us updated here... I'm sure it will gonna be very helpful...

I think overture results, PR rank, Yahoo rank, google results, amount of letters/numbers, amount of words, tld extension, any junk letters?, etc would be good to be used

PR rank? If its not a develped site you cant have pr rank
So it doesnt matter. Pr rank would only matter if selling a develped site

Ok guys here is what I have down as part of the formula

First is Length of domain:

2 chars = +10
3 chars = +6
4 chars = +3
5 chars = +2
6-8 chars = +1

TLD Extension:
.com = +4
.net = +3
.org = +2
.info/us/names, all the rest... = +1

Words in domain
1 word = +9
2 words= +4
3 words = +2

Junk Letters in Domain
(ex. BusinessFtools.com) F would be junk letter
(ex. DriveLtkNow.com) LTK would be junk letters
0 Junk Letters = 0
1 Junk Letter = -3
2 Junk Letters = -5
3 Junk Letters = -7
4 Junk Letters = - 9
5+ Junk Letters = -11


Complete Exact Domain Overture Results:
5mil+ = +18
3-4m = +17
2-3m = +16
1-2m = +15
900k-1m = +14
700-800k = +13
500-600k = +12
400-500k = +11
200-400k = +10
100-200k = +9
50k-100k = +8
25k-50k = +7
15k-25k = +6
10k-15k = +5
7k-10k = +4
5k-7k = +3
3k-5k = +2
1k-3k = +1

OR

If more then 1 word Each word overture results averaged = (e.x)
BusinessTools.com
2392008 business
331765 tool
------------
1361885 = Avereged Words Out
=======
5mil+ = +10
3-4m = +9
2-3m = +8
1-2m = +7
900k-1m = +6
500-800k = +5
200-400k = +4
100-200k = +3
50-100k = +2
0-50k = +1



So lets run some example domains through the appraisel:
games.com = +2, +4, +9, +18 = 33 Pts
gametools.com = +0, +4, +4, +9 = 17pts
Car.com = +6, +4, +9, +16 = 35pts
SearchToFind.net = +0, +3, +2, +5 = 10pts

And so on...

I know this cant be even close to accurate, I just made this formula up real quick, I need your opinions on it, whats good/bad, what needs to be changed, added, pricing for pts, even something like "horrible system, cant do it this way" is good to know . Anything you guys can throw out here to help me out, I'm not all that great at appraisel stuff, that is why I am posting here aswell

Let me know what you guys think, I will keep working until its as close to perfect as I can get it.

Thanks

page rank defently, also amount of words in the domain, language of the words, copyright checker... and stuff. its a bit early.

Google PR?

Google page rank can't really be "checked" anyway other then the googlebar. I know I can do link back check though and list the amounts of established links... ?

Let me know...

IMO a very important factor should be the residual traffic, typos e clickthroughs, which the domain receives.
Also listing in maior directories, like Yahoo! and DMOZ should be a plus.
