domain ArtificialIntelligence.co

[mynameisJ]

It's not the .com but its the .co, which is TLD and are a popular domain extension for startups, companies, etc.

(its also and shorter by one character! )

AI is a exploding industry. What would be a realistic valuation for this domain? Asking for a friend.

 

[Chris Wright]

Many domainers dismiss the value of .co domains.
They do leak traffic to their .com equivalents, because of autocomplete and muscle memory.

However, I did sell reputationmanagement dot co for $2k.
It happened so quickly that I probably could have asked for more.

Yours has a LOT more search volume (2.2M) in a hot industry.
But, a much smaller CPC, indicating low buyer intent.
I would value your domain at low to mid five figures.

 

[mynameisJ]

Thanks for your input - much appreciated. I agree, .co domains are still undervalued (I was able to grab a few good ones over the last few years)


I think as a broader term, it might not have direct CPC value something like "loans" for instance, but the amount of industries and businesses that is starting to be impacted by AI, as well as the incredible growth coming over the years, it could be a very valuable domain to develop something on.

It's certainly a good term.

I am not much of a fan of .co in general. What tends to sell are more single word terms.

It has value, but the length and extension limits the ceiling.

Too long, my opinion.

While I can understand the long domain names would typically limit the value, the fact that this is a an exact match for an entire industry, does not limit the ceiling IMO. In fact, quite the opposite.

The only "flaw" this domain has is that its a .co

Probably a domain that has as much SEO value than domain brandability, but in 2024 a domain length barely matters because cookies, autocomplete, etc.

Well, that's your view.

This section is for asking the views of others.

Best of luck with it.

Right... All I'm saying is I'm trying to get professional input of what it would be worth. I already know it's got limitations - the .com owner is currently asking 9.9 million. I'm trying to gauge what this could be worth.

Saying you "don't like it" and the .co "limits the ceiling" - OK thanks for that feedback but my response would be "OK, thanks Captain Obvious" lol

Looking at your business, you don't sell .co domains (or at least appear to). So probably not the best person to ask anyway. thanks for trying to be helpful.

 

[mynameisJ]

Too long, my opinion.

OK.... there isn't anything shorter other than "AI".

You sell domains that are almost as long on your site, in much less lucrative industries. Do you have any actual appraisal feedback you can share..?

Hi

does that mean you do not own the domain?

imo...

You have probably already done this, but here is a NameBio list of two-word .co sales ordered from highest price down. If you don't have an account you can probably only see the first few. Maybe CreditCard is slightly comparable, but again the sale was many years ago.

https://namebio.com/?s==EjMzATMxUDN

I don't see a lot of close comparators. WebHosting that sold very low 5-figures possibly, but it sold over a decade ago.

The highest on the list is OnlineCasino ( a $100k sale but a long time ago too), and not similar.

I also searched for your term in exact match sales, but other than a prior sale of the .co the only one listed in NameBio is an .io from a number of years ago.

Have you considered asking a broker whether they would be interested in representing the name, and what they would suggest as an asking price and confidential floor price?

Best wishes with it.

-Bob

PS Bill S.'s NameNinja guide suggesting rough guidelines of prices (keep in mind published some years ago, and clearly it depends on name) lists .co in a category (with .net and some others) that typically sell at 5-20% of the .com.

too long and co

u want ai term

I have approached a few brokers a while back, but either their commission % was ridiculous or they were only selling .com. I have had a few tell me it was a great domain (obviously).

Thanks for all this info, very helpful. cheers.

HI

try typing the domain name at least 3 times quickly and see if you make any typo's
now consider what the average person would type/

i saw it had a gd ppc page,
so how many visitors has the domain received in last 30 days and did it earn any revenue?
and if there is no organic traffic, then how useful would it be for redirection to another url?

also, even though the name is a keyword, what business or service could use it as a brand?


as for worth, it has to have more than just the name to justify a high price tag.

best to put some content on it relating to the subject, to hopefully get some ranking.
as that could help with value and make it more appealing.


imo....

Had no problem typing it in 3 times. again. what's the alternative shorter version of this domain other than AI.co? I don't see the length argument being that relevant, especially today - who types in domains anymore?

I can think of many multiple applications for a website with this domain: news aggregator, software or apps lists, reviews, non-profit, etc. I've been following AI industry for many years, there are MANY great use cases for this domain. But This is not what this thread is about.

Yes building a site and adding content on it would add some value, but not enough to justify putting it that work for someone else who would probably just scrap it after acquisition.

Again, several posts on this thread that like to point out faults or why they "don't like" the domain, but this is supposed to be an "appraisal" thread, not somewhere from people to be salty. No matter the argument anyone might have, I know this domain has good value. I'm just trying to figure out what that is... luckily a few of you have been actually helpful - thanks again to those folk, you know who you are.

 

[biggie]

who types in domains anymore?

Hi

i get type in traffic to my domains.
so, people do still use the address bar to access websites and domains.

additionally, you didn't answer the question as to whether the name gets any traffic.

But This is not what this thread is about.

Hi

on the contrary, usages for a domain help to gauge it's value and how broad the appeal could be.
a domain with more possible uses is certainly worth more than a name with just one use.

not somewhere from people to be salty

Hi

just because you aren't hearing or reading "what you want to hear or read" doesn't mean we are being salty.
you must take the good with the bad, in order to see the big picture.

also, you don't want to alienate those who could give you good advice in the future for a different name or deter others who might offer something here.

just saying, don't take it personal.

imo....

I can take the good with the bad. I think you are missing my point - some of these responses have nothing to do with appraising a domain - in fact, saying it's "too long" when its literally the only version of that industry word, or "type it in 3 times in a row"... or a .co "limits its celling" well no $hit, I already know that. If I had the .com I wouldn't be posting about it here obviously

not to mention some of these responses are from (what looks like) domain name business owners with websites that have lots of alternate domain extensions and long character domains for sale on them...lol go figure

also, you don't want to alienate those who could give you good advice in the future for a different name or deter others who might offer something here.

Not sure how that would would work. given that those who actually provide useful responses I upvote and acknowledge

just saying, don't take it personal.

I'm not, in fact I think you are my friend. I'm just trying to get so useful feedback, which I got from a few, so I'm good - peace out

 

[biggie]

I already know that.

Hi

you still didn't answer my question about traffic on the domain.

imo....

 

[bmugford]

Maybe the OP should post in the self-appraisal thread, so they can tell everyone else what the domain is worth.
