@Dineshkp and
@Kate I agree. Its not accurate one. But can you please tell me which is the tool that you suggest for domain appraisal.
EstiBot is the
most trusted name in domain valuation, appraising over
1.8 million domain names per day!
Atleast user gets little idea of his domain estimation.
I would say it is far from accurate. I have been in your shoes and understand your point of view when coming to price estimation but believe me, don't trust bot appraisals. They give you price based on the keyword used and number of occurrences of it. Pricing does not work like that.
You have to learn to estimate and price domains on your own, at least if you want free appraisal
How to estimate a domain's price?
It varies based on the type of domain. Liquid domain, brandable domain, keyword domain (number of words is another thing), traffic domain etc. I am not sure of the other types so it would be nice if someone listed it out.
As you go on your journey in domaining you will understand and learn estimating a domain's price on your own. But for now, here are some tips from my end,
1.
Brandables: You have to consider the field the name can be used in. If the field (Agriculture, Software, Tech, Computing, Education, Health etc) is worth a lot of dollars then so will be your name. Brandables can be priced 2 ways, you put a price tag and sit on it until it gets sold or you go with what the buyer is willing to pay and have a beer for landing the sale
2.
Liquid domains: This is where you have to keep an eye on the market. They are called liquid domains because their demand at the current moment is very high. Hence people will pay top dollars to get them. (1-4)L and (1-6)N are currently liquid due to the demand. 5L and 7N are picking up speed. If you use
Namebio,
dnjournal,
llllsales etc you can know the prices similar domains have sold. Based on that information/data you can estimate what your holdings will sell for or can be sold at.
Recent Historical Information (RHI) matters for liquid domains
3.
Traffic Domains: These are domains that generate revenue for the traffic they receive from type-ins and search engines. They are usually parked. In order to determine the price of such domains you need the following information:
- Unique visitors/month
- CPC (Cost Per Click)
- CTR (Click Through Rate)
- A few months of the revenue information
If all of these are high then so is your domain's value.
Most Important of all: Your domain will sell only for the price the buyer(end-user) is willing to pay (99% of the time). If you own Internet.com it is a totally different thing
NOTE: I may be wrong at places. I welcome any corrections in places where I am wrong
