available Brandable Names Available to Hand Reg with GD Appraisal - ExtraPriority.com

[BrandCougar]

We were testing the GoDaddy Domain Value Appraisal (DVA) tool recently to see what type of names appraise above $1,000.

https://www.godaddy.com/domain-value-appraisal

And found a few unregd names that we thought we'd share with the community.

Please post if you decided to register one. (available for handreg as of the posting)

Enjoy!

Hi Everyone,

I have been tracking results for the names I have posted on this thread and thought I would share the following observations with you this morning.

To be transparent, I have included all the raw data used in this exercise (outlined below).

I hope the summary is helpful and demonstrates the "next step" actions that a few viewing this thread have taken.

I find it always interesting to see what others are doing and try to learn from them.

-Cougar



Observation(s):

78% of the domains I listed in this thread are now TAKEN (now registered). (53 taken of 68 listed)

51% of those domains taken are now registered with NetworkSolutions (27 of 53 registered).
19% of those domains taken are now registered with Namesilo (10 of 53 registered)
15% of those domains taken are now registered with GoDaddy (8 of 53 registered)

* I believe the recent discount programs by Netsol and Namesilo provided inexpensive 1st year registrations, therefore, might account for the strong %percentages mentioned above.


Additionally - and somewhat interesting...

43% of the domains registered now have landing pages with Undeveloped (23 of 53)

* I find this to be quite interesting.
* This high %percentage included a balanced blending of domains registered with both Netsol & GoDaddy.
* Also, I spent time clicking on each weblink of the 53 taken domains and noticed the Undeveloped lander pages were by a variety of sellers. My reason for mentioning this is to highlight that this was not the work of only 1 or 2 individuals, but a path used by a variety of individuals following this thread.


Opinion:

* As mentioned above, I spent time clicking on each weblink for the (53) registered domains to see what a potential buyer might see. A peak into a 1st time view for each domain.

Some initial thoughts... (with examples)

1) FundingGuard.com - uses EFTY for their landing page - this page was inviting and felt more professional than several others I observed. A quality lander.

2) HockeyPay.com - uses Undeveloped for their landing page - personally for me the page was clean and I definitely felt the BIN pricing was more conducive to me spending more time reading the entire lander. Also a quality experience.

3) HugeVote.com - uses Undeveloped for the landing page - but for some reason the "Make an Offer" for this page made me feel like I was about to enter a frustrating back-and-forth haggle. Mind you, I was not an actual buyer, but tho the landing page looked professional, my 1st reaction to the "Make an Offer" lander was this would turn into an endless waiting game... and worse... a never ending feeling of being jerked around. I am assuming the new owner of this domain is a NamePros member and also is a top shelf person, but the lander itself for some reason made me "cautious" from the moment it came up on the screen until I went to the next one on the list. Also worth noting - the majority (roughly 70%) of the Undeveloped landers being used for other domains during this exercise also were using the "Make an Offer" configuration. This just happens to be the domain I used for this post.

4) TestingFirm.com - uses a boilerplate (default) landing page - 1st impression - it felt spammy and I immediately left the page - this lander screamed of "leave now before you download a virus". Full disclosure - coincidentally I recently pointed a few of my domains to Afternic parking nameservers last weekend and the lander for Afternic parking looks near identical to this lander. I am now rethinking that strategy after this morning's exercise.


*** One thing missing on all these examples - a phone # - there seemed to be this irking feeling when I 1st landed on each of the above (4) examples that every one of these sites were hiding behind email & contact forms. This reduced my confidence in each site. Tho I have to admit that example # 1 and example # 2 was more inviting, I still felt "trapped" as a 1st reaction to my landing on the page. A phone # on a lander seems to provide more confidence during an initial visit.

*** Also, please keep in mind, my opinions expressed above are not about the domain names themselves, but are specifically about my 1st impression of the landing site experience for each item.

*** Another point worth mentioning, the EFTY and UNDEVELOPED landers were using "https" and felt more secure and less spammy than the "Not Secure" message coming up in the browser when using the boilerplate (default) pages that were loosely provided by the registrars.

*** Overall - I think we, as investors, sometimes focus so much of our energy on efficiency and ROI that we inadvertently fail to walk through our processes to test the landers as an actual buyer would experience.

I hope my "1st impressions" exercise sheds light on this dynamic. It certainly has caused me to rethink what I would want my prospective buyers to experience.

-Cougar



Raw Data:

* I am providing all (68) records used in this exercise. Yes, I agree, it is not a large data set, but I do feel this exercise provides several points worth considering when thinking about a potential buyer's 1st impression.

There's an old quote that goes something like this:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

So far, I've been feeding you. This is great, but if you don't know what I'm doing or how I'm doing it , you will not be able to find fish yourself, and therefore feed yourself independently.

I decided that instead of a massive name drop on my last day, I will teach you the exact strategy I've been using this whole time, for completely free. Keep in mind, this is heavily concentrated on domain names based off dictionary words - not brandable names, name hacks, etc.

A lot of people these days try to make money every way they can, often out of greed and/or desperation. 9 times out of 10, the money paid is not even worth the content they provide. I'd like to not only provide something that is worth your time, but also give it away for completely free as a way of saying thanks. I learned a lot from this community, and it's time to give back in a massive way.

Today I will be sharing a method that I haven't seen anywhere else. This is something that I invented myself. Of course, this is nothing revolutionary, it just took some thought on my part. But nonetheless I have not seen it elsewhere. Enjoy.

The Strategy
(I have included a summary at the bottom for convenience.)

I would like to first emphasize the importance of understanding the strategy - not simply learning what tools to use. We will be using tools at every step of the way, but you need to have an understanding of why we do the things we do.

For that reason, each step will be concentrating on the "bigger picture" of what is being done, rather than the tool used. That's also because tools are interchangeable and you may want to use different tools.

This will be quite a long post. If you like it, take your time reading it over a few days, since I wanted to include as much relevant detail as possible.

0. How are dictionary domain names created?

My posts have mostly been dealing with 2 word domains. You can actually replicate this technique with 1, 2, or even 3 word domains. To understand what word combinations work, because many simply do not, we must look at dictionary domains that sell, use our gut feeling, and draw conclusions.

//

Adjective + Noun​

For example, let's look at FrequentLook.com. Breaking down the keywords, we get Frequent + Look.

Frequent is an adjective. Look is a noun.
Therefore, one way to go about keyword domains is by using adjective + noun.

You will notice that I have used this formula generously - just take a look at the composition of StealthConnection.com, TinyAudience.com, UsefulResponse.com, UpcomingLife.com, etc.
They are all adjectives + nouns.

Now, a quick English review. The reason that the adjective + noun formula works so well is because adjectives actually describe nouns. That is their purpose in the English language - to modify and describe nouns. It is only natural, then, to see an adjective and a noun together - you have a word that describes and adds depth to another word.

//

Noun + Noun​

Another formula I've been using, though I haven't been conscious of it until now (this is what I mean by gut feeling), is noun + noun. Examples include, DeveloperFix.com, RobotHubs.com, DeveloperRoom.com, AnalyticsChart.com, WordWebs.com, and so on. Now, you might think of 'fix' in DeveloperFix differently - as a verb (fix something), while I was thinking of it as a noun (fix - a dose).
It is important to be aware of what function a word serves when combining with another word.

The reason that the combination of noun + noun can work well is because when two words are joined, a new meaning can be formed out of the exclusive combination of these words. Let's look at WordWebs - a word is a collection of letters, and a web is a network of fine threads. Putting our creative thinking cap on, we can vaguely connect both meanings and form the keyword WordWebs - a network of words. Isn't it amazing how two random words were joined to create a strong name concept?
This is the power of knowing and understanding how dictionary names are joined.

Do you see how this works? There are many ways to connect the meaning of two words together, though some will not work. And when you go through huge lists of them, it will feel like none of them work .
Here are some examples - FishHub, ClothesSociety, FriendCity.

The possibilities are limitless. It's only a matter of filtering through the limitless possibilities

//

Adverb + Verb​

Another way to join keywords is by using an adverb + verb. An example is JustProtest.com. The adverb in this case modifies the verb, much like an adjective modified a noun.

//

Verb + Noun​

An example that comes to mind is OwnSeed.com. Another is PurchaseMagnets.com.

Of course, a lot of the time the order of these words is interchangeable.
What I mean is that verb + noun is also noun + verb. PassHide.com ('pass' for password) comes to mind.

Always try changing the order of the words - a lot of the time it makes sense! OwnSeed.com is a fantastic name for the current cannabis landscape, but SeedOwn.com is not too shabby either. Try it out!

//

However, out of all the names I posted, the adjective + noun combination seems to be the most prominent. This is not a reflection of quality - that adjectives + nouns sell the most and are the best - this just means that I was able to find the most names in that category. Your experience may differ, and I encourage you to find out for yourself.

//

Of course, I do not consciously think like this - "I must now join the adverb with the verb".
Not at all. This happens in the inner workings of our brains - something we all call gut feeling.

This is actually why it's really powerful to have a good gut feeling - look how much conscious work it saves you! Don't have to worry about whether something is an adjective, adverb, noun, the order, whether it's grammatically correct... the right name will just 'click'.
This guide is meant to sharpen your skills so that you build a stronger gut feeling over time, and won't have to rely on the technicalities of things.


//


The point of writing a lengthy explanation of how names are created was to expose the inner workings of our mind when we pick a name.

You can, of course, modify this technique to also include a 3rd word - Adjective + Adjective + Adjective (GreatWildOutdoors), Verb + Adjective + Noun (FixBigProblems), and so on. Though I do not recommend exceeding 2 words for length purposes.

In summary

• Adjective + Noun
• Noun + Noun
• Adverb + Verb
• Verb + Noun
• Any of the above combinations reversed
• Go and try other combinations! The English language also has pronouns, prepositions and conjunctions

It's only when you consciously realize what you're doing when you join words, when you can craft many great combinations of them. Understand that, in this context, words are actually tools!
They are tools to build your great, potentially free-to-register domain name.

1. Keyword Collection

Phew. Step 0 is done now... and the rest of the guide should go a lot quicker now. I've just covered a lot of theory. Now we'll get our hands dirty.

The very first step I like to do is to build a list of keywords.

MANUAL APPROACH
Go through websites like NameJet, Afternic, Sedo, Flippa, and so on, and note great keywords from sold / hot listings. Record them anywhere you like - a note taking app is perfect.

Over time you will collect many high value keywords. Some examples of these kinds of keywords include work, analyst, booking, hotel, travel, estate, crypto, and so on. You will notice patterns in valuable keywords when you spend a bit of time on this.

You will know that these words are high value, because you are mainly looking at names that already sold / names that capture a lot of demand (bids & views). Higher price tags for domains sometimes indicate valuable keywords, as well.

WORD GENERATOR APPROACH
I have mainly used this strategy.

Use a site like Random Word Generator, Random Lists, or Word Counter. The tool does not matter - we will simply need to generate keywords, keeping in mind the theory about word combinations from before.

You will want to produce a big batch of words for convenience. We will also be reducing these keywords to a much smaller number. Select your noun / verb / adjective / etc., the amount of words you want (I recommend 50+), and any other settings. Click Generate.

You will get a big list of words. Copy them to a note app and take out any words you don't like - delete them. Don't worry about losing keywords because you have the means to get many more.
The words you get rid of can be words of negative connotation (i.e. annoying, unpleasant, sick, ill, etc) or words that are too long.
Use your gut feel if a word doesn't feel like it belongs.

Keep doing this process until you have a decent amount of keywords for your 1st word.
I recommend 20+ good keywords.

Then, you will repeat this process with another word, preferably a word combination structure that makes sense.

I've personally tried these, and they work decently (same ones as above):

• Adjective + Noun
• Noun + Noun
• Adverb + Verb
• Verb + Noun

Keep only the good keywords, and build a list for the 2nd word. Keep in mind that although in theory everything seems sound, in practice you will soon discover that many combinations simply do not work. Your job is to filter through them and pace yourself through this tedious process.

2. Keyword Combination

Once we have our filtered lists of keywords for the 1st word and the 2nd word, we simply join them.

We will be using a tool called Dot-O-Mator which will match each keyword from list 1 with each of the keywords in list 2. This means that if you have 100 keywords in each list, it's not going to check 100 combinations of words - it will actually check 1 keyword against 100 combinations from list 2, and then onto the next keyword.
The neat thing is, it will not only combine the keywords, but also check their .com availability.

Place your keywords from list 1 into the box on the left, and keywords from list 2 on the next box. Click generate and watch the magic unfold.

Do you see how powerful this method is? There are so many combinations left to register that it's laughable to think that hand registering is dead. You will probably not become a millionaire from just a few names, but I believe this process can be scaled if you do this full time, making you a reasonable income. I personally don't have the time for this anymore, but maybe someone here might! It definitely has the potential to produce high ROIs for anyone utilizing the full potential of this technique.

When you do this for the first time with many keywords, you will realize the great effort it takes to find good names. You will see a very long page of available names, and most of them will be complete garbage. But you will find a few decent ones, just as I have every single day.

3. Name Filtering

Finally, and there is no shortcut to this or a way to make it easier (that I know of) - simply go through the entries on Dot-O-Mator. Copy the names you like into your note taking app. Keep doing this. Filtering, filtering, filtering.

Become a robotic filtering machine. You were created to sort .com domain names. That is your life's purpose, and there's nothing else that you have to take care of.
This is your life now.

In all seriousness, keep doing this and make sure to take a break once in a while.

It's important to not buy any domains yet!

4. Sleep On It
A scarcity mindset never benefits us - in domains, in business or in life. When you have your list of good names, leave them where they are, and allow some time to pass.

DO NOT go into scarcity mode and make impulsive decisions. You are a robot, remember? You do not base domain decisions based off feelings, except gut feeling in some cases. You will wait, clear your head, look at the data, study the names, and ONLY THEN make a purchase... IF it meets your standards.

This is the philosophy of registering a high value name that guarantees the least risk and highest reward.

The concept of 'sleeping on the name' is so important that I believe it deserves a whole section for itself.

You need a clear mind to make purchasing decisions regarding your domain.

Unlike some names you've seen on this thread, the names you just found are most likely not going anywhere in the foreseeable future. Let me repeat that - the names you just found are not going anywhere. I am speaking from experience. This is not some expired domain list, this is your handcrafted domain name with no eyes on it.

Don't worry and stay collected. Take. Your. Time.

5. Make The Decision
Once you cleared your head, look at the list of names you've gathered.

Surprise surprise, names you thought were great yesterday seem trashy today. This is exactly why we wait before making purchases.

With your clear mind, you are now able to sort and filter the names. Keep in mind though, Dot-O-Mator is not 100% accurate, so I recommend first checking the list you have with Name.com's bulk search tool.

You will then use factors such as gut feel (primarily), pronounceability, and others.

Of the big list you created, only a select few will make the cut to round 1.

This is your starting point. From there, you will research trademarks, competitors, keyword volume, etc.


IN SUMMARY

1. Understand how dictionary domain names are created. This happens through a combination of nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. Be conscious of this, as this is what goes under the hood of a great (dictionary) name
2. Build a list of keywords. Manually (domain marketplaces) or through generators. Leverage your tools. You will curate your own collection of great domain-ready words. What's fantastic about this is that you have full control over the words you use.
3. Combine keywords with Dot-O-Mator. It will perform magic under your eyes, and inform you of available .coms.
4. Filter out the bad names & write down the good names. This will take a lot of mental energy over time, so pace yourself, take breaks, and... don't stay up late.
5. SLEEP ON IT. DO NOT impulsively buy right there and then, when you think you have a great name. Your mind is playing tricks on you because you've been immersed with low quality names, therefore your stands have dropped. You need a break in order to recalibrate your brain to what is considered a good name.
6. Make the decision. When you've allowed the fog to clear, return to the list, check what names are available, and start filtering by your own criteria. This will probably net you a few good domains (<10), out of 200 keywords total.

So there we go.
Easy? No. Simple? Despite the length of this post, actually, yes. This is a simple process, I promise. Go through this post a few times and you will 100% understand everything.

I did promise to do a review of the names posted.


DOMAINSNATCHER'S HAND REG EXPERIMENT - A CONCLUSIVE REVIEW

Of the 150 names I posted (what a coincidence! :O), 44 were registered. This means that 29% of the names were claimed - almost 1 in 3.

According to Namebio, no name has been sold to someone else, yet. I encourage owners of the names posted here to message me when they make a sale - would love to hear your good news!

Thank you everyone for the encouragement, this experiment was not easy to do (many, many hours of tedious work).

I am sure, however, that by now you definitely see the power in hand regs.
Cheers everyone! Take care.

//

Names still available to register & grabbed names can be found here.

 

[domainsnatcher]

At the time of this writing, 5 of the domains above are taken:

Eavesdrop.io

EveryAudience.com

OpinionBird.com

RecentArrival.com

UpcomingLife.com

//////////

Today's drop

MovieAmbition.com

FarmerPassion.com

FameFollow.com

FederalBonus.com

ThinkAnytime.com

//////////

As always, it is recommended to do the following for each name you're considering purchasing:

BARE MINIMUM

• Is it pronounceable? Unless you are selling LLLL's - these are 4 letter .coms - make sure you're selling a pronounceable name. Some other exclusions are short names like Secur.ly and such, but I will stick to only talking about .coms. Make sure the domain can be said on a radio and won't need further clarification. OpinionBird.com, rather than OpynionBird.com. Kapish?

• Check for similar sales on Namebio (these names are mostly 2 word domains. Enter 1 of the words into Namebio and observe, then enter the other and observe. Keep in mind the year the domain was sold in - recent sales are more relevant. Lastly, pay special attention to good names as opposed to average or below average names. Then, mentally determine a price range and draw conclusions based off the data you saw)

For example, let's look at OpinionBird.com (already taken) - I'll do one keyword as an example here.
*** I will proceed with the assumption that OpinionBird.com is a website for paid surveys, much like Survey Monkey

I enter 'Opinion' into Namebio and filter by .com.
I get the following domains: OpinionAnalytics ($352), PaidOpinions ($211), OpinionPower ($401), TrueOpinion ($348), ChangeOpinion ($116), SocialOpinion ($360), GetOpinions ($102), and so on. Further investigation shows me names like OpinionPoll selling for $1836, and OpinionsApp for $2999.

This data actually shows me that there isn't such a close connection between keywords and the price. In my opinion, OpinionsApp is a much weaker name than PaidOpinions, yet the price of the first is $3k and the second only $350.

How is this happening? This makes no sense! It is possible that end users have already chosen their name and simply go on marketplaces to purchase them for $$$$. Another possibility is really good pitching by a reseller or broker. Regardless, you must dive deep into this data & look at it in context - don't just take it plainly.

If you are serious about making money on a domain, you must go very deep into your research. You have to think like an end user - why would you pay somebody $3000 for a domain? What would that name provide for you? Why is a subjectively good name like PaidOpinions selling for only $352? For me personally, I can see a huge company being built based on that name alone.

In summary, seeing all these varying price points showed us that there isn't such a clear distinction between 'high profit' and 'low profit' domains. I won't go further in this example, but more information is definitely needed to draw conclusions. This is a good example of a landscape that isn't fully figured out yet!

You would then repeat this process with the second keyword. The second keyword could actually help you uncover more information about the overall landscape, helping you make a more educated decision about your purchase. ALWAYS look at the big picture! Don't get sucked into concentrating on all the small details.

This process could take about 15 minutes, which is really not much. So be thorough.

• Check for trademarks. Type in the domain name and check if any companies are registered under that name. If you see a company but it has an "ABANDONED" status, you're probably good to go. But if there are lots of entries and the results are more complex, you might want to consult an IP lawyer. Of course, only do that if you consider the domain worthy since the costs can add up (though I have never done this myself)

RECOMMENDED

• Check Google Trends to see if a niche is on the rise or if it's falling. Taking our OpinionBird.com example earlier, I think of the niche this name deals with - to me it's surveys. To you, it might be something else - great! Having different ideas is good for creating more opportunities. Just make sure that you know what most people will assume the name means - you will need good awareness and common sense for this.

In Google Trends, I type in paid survey, set the country to the US, and set the timeline to last 5 years. The graph actually shows us a slight decline, from about 70% average interest to 60%. You could check variations on this keyword - paid surveys, paid polls, paid studies, etc. The results surprised me a little bit, but after thinking about them, I believe it's because the hype about getting paid to do surveys is slowly dying.

Now... do you see how knowing the popularity of the domain's niche could help us price and sell it? This can help you make a more accurate appraisal, find end users (since you understand the niche), and so on. It is important to know your niche!

• Check Google Keyword Planner to get search volume. Search volume means the amount of people searching a specific word or phrase on Google. How might this help us, you might ask? By knowing the search volume, you can further determine the popularity of a niche, and even the popularity of a domain's exact keywords.

For example, Opinion Bird is currently getting 0 search volume a month. This means that nobody is searching for it. So... it's a bad name, right? Well, just because no one is searching for it doesn't mean it's a bad name. It can be a brandable name - meaning you can set up an end user with this name.

Why do I say this? Well, although Opinion Bird is getting 0 search volume, the niche Opinion Bird is in receives 49 500 searches A MONTH! Impressive, huh? It's the paid surveys niche! Now if you tried to sell this domain to an end user, your leverage went from "Opinion Bird gets no searches a month" to "The niche Opinion Bird is in gets searched by 50 000 people A MONTH!". What shift.

Try it out: sign into Keyword Planner, click the wrench for Tools, then choose the first option - Keyword Planner. Click on Get search volume and forecasts. In the table you will see a Vol column - this is your search volume. Alternatively, choose Find new keywords to get more ideas about your niche.

This tool is a godsend - it will show you keyword volume on Google, Amazon, and other sites. It's a Chrome extension.

• Lastly... what does your gut say about this domain? Don't try to justify it. If you don't vibe with the name, don't bother. You have to believe in the name!

I remember buying AboveJourney.com by accident because I was acting impulsively and forgot to cancel my order. The next day, my gut was telling me it wasn't a good name. Of course, at first glance it's a 2 word domain with good potential in the travel niche. But in reality this name does not really make sense to me. Above journey... journey above? Like a flight? It's not a common way to describe flights. To be honest, it's hard to put my reasoning into words except to say that my gut does not approve, haha.

So, follow your gut!

IN CONCLUSION - A Practical Guide
Please note, by no means this is a full checklist of things to check for - for that check out the thread posted by Eric. The checklist here is my personal checklist, some of the most common things I look for.

Without further ado:
0. Is it pronounceable?
1. Check Namebio
2. Check trademarks
3. Check Google Trends
4. Check Google Keyword Planner
5. Gut feeling

Or... you could just YOLO it.
Your choice

Take care, everyone. Hope you found this guide useful!

CoffeeBan.com $1435 (GD Appraisal)


Observation:

Here is an example of how digging 2-3 levels deep with the GoValue tool can broaden your view and introduce you to new markets and new KW patterns.


LEVEL - 1

When viewing the GD Appraisal for CoffeeBan.com (1st Level) I see the following being used as comparable items.

- PastaBan.com Sold for $2,895
- CoffeeStop.com Sold for $1,250


LEVEL - 2

While digging to the next level (Level -2) by running the GoValue tool on PastaBan.com and also on CoffeeStop.com , I see the following being used as comparable items.

PastaStop.com Sold for $988 (while in the PastaBan.com estimate)
VaporStop.com Sold for $2,295 (while in the CoffeeStop.com estimate)
CoffeePass.com Sold for $5,000 (while in the CoffeeStop.com estimate)


LEVEL - 3

While digging to the next level (Level -3) by running the GoValue tool on CoffeePass.com , I see the following being used as comparable items.

CoffeeScene.com Sold for $2,488 (while in the CoffeePass.com.com estimate)
CoffeeConnect.com Sold for $3,188 (while in the CoffeePass.com.com estimate)


RESULTS:

I then blend Pasta with Connect and find that PastaConnect.com is available with a GoValue estimate of $1,098.

Starting with the 1st level of comparable names (Level-1) I was initially confused by why the words Pasta and Stop were showing up.

I mean - why is coffee being "stopped"?

Duh!! "Stop" was referring to location, not an ending.

Then following the tentacles of Ban to Stop, Stop to Pass, and Pass to Connect.

I started at Level-1 with PastaBan and at Level-3 was on the valuation for CoffeeConnect

From there, I see BeerConnect, CookingConnect, GardenConnect, and PastaPresto.

There seems to be a draw to words that suggest "a meeting" or "a joining of product enthusiast". The opposite (to ban) has led me to joining/sharing action.

In the end, PastaConnect.com may (or may not) be a good choice for a domain investor. BUT... similar to niche breweries that are popping up everywhere, there are now niche pasta shops popping up locally with specialty (niche) products. And these aren't restaurants, they are specialty product providers..


Commercial Use:

PastaConnect.com - a pasta enthusiast could identify 100's of small (local) pasta shops and interview several of the owners to find out what unique products they offer, specialty plates that could be cooked, tools (utensils) need to create these specialty plates, and (of course) a few sprinkled in Amazon links with some long-tail keywords to build a side income for their hobby (passion).

PastaConnect.com - this could also be local (retail) pasta shop that wants to broaden from Tony's Tortellini to a wider product set sharing their unique (niche) products with a growing population that has never tasted a TV dinner.


* This specific domain is not the point of this post, it is the process of expanding your mind to find new niches to explore and consider is the crux of this post. (and using the GoValue tool as a utensil to help you expand your product sourcing view by digging deeper into the comparable tentacles is the point)

@BrandCougar - Some nice domains you found here.

Thanks @stub.

I appreciate the positive response to the thread & our daily posts.

I have met several terrific individuals on this site - all welling to share their insight and knowledge via engaging dialogue.

I also have had several members PM me asking for 2-3 names off thread. Glad to do so. I hope by posting on this thread will allow everyone a chance to reg one of the names, but as important I hope the posting will provide everyone a sampling into GD's Appraisal results.

One comment that was shared with me was "but by the time I get here they are already taken" situation. Good point. All names (at the time of posting) are available to hand reg. I double check each time before posting. To balance the situation mentioned, I have started to offer 2-3 names via PM to those who shoot me a PM to ensure no one leaves empty handed as a guest of this thread.

Via post combined with via PM - has provided a good balance and seems to level the playing field for all.

Our goal - data transparent for all via the post while ensuring all have an opportunity

Thanks again for the positive feedback.

Here's another (2) for today.


Available to hand reg... (at the time of this post)


RatePoet.com $1550 (GD Appraisal)
BidFantasy.com $1774 (GD Appraisal)



Observation:

* What I find rather interesting is the specific keywords mentioned in the Valuable Keyword section of the GD Appraisals.

* For example, words like "fully" with an average sale price of $1882, "report" with an average sale price of $2574, "hub" with an average sale price of $2111, and a variety of others like firm/resort/target with a "widely used" notation.

* The time entering names and observing results has been a terrific eye-opener to new areas worth exploring.

* Additionally, the Comparable Domains Sold section provides context to the keyword price points mentioned.

I hope this thread is useful for others.

Here's another (1) for today.

Available to hand reg...


SalmonStudy.com $1506 (GD Appraisal)



Observation:

An estimate value (without context) is simply a number.

It is good as a guide, but without context is simply a measurement. For example, a speed of 45 mph is a great gauge on the dashboard of your car, but without knowing RELEVANCE to the road conditions and what others around you are traveling, then it is… well you guessed it… without context.

45 mph on a Texas highway is dangerously slow, while 45 mph in a school zone is reckless.

And purchasing a domain without context is both dangerous and reckless.

So, today I am going to share with you a case study – SalmonStudy.com

The domain is available to hand reg, but how do you determine "context" before clicking the buy button.


Step #1 –

When using the GD Appraisal tool (aka GoValue tool), the 1st item I glance at is “Estimated Value”. Yes, it is a good metric to start with, but then I will go 2 levels deeper.


Step #2 –

The 2nd area I glance at is the More Comparable Domains Sold. The GoValue tool provides (7) items in the More Comparable section. Here is the CONTEXT I am looking for. Like in real estate, we need to know what the comparable units were that were used to arrive at the Estimated Value. This insight is gold as the units used in the More Comparable section are all items that have actually SOLD. Just like in real estate, everyone wants to “think” their house is worth millions (being emotionally tied to it) and going by what your neighbor has LISTED their house for can be misleading (as they too are emotionally attached). However, using actual SOLD items provides us a reality check if they are a proper comparable base.

So... for the domain SalmonStudy.com, I immediately glance at “clustering”. Asking myself - are the (7) comparable units closely clustered or are there some off shoot that are highly scattered?

In this example, I see oceanstudy.com, brainstudy.com, stemstudy.com, salmonfacts.com, troutguides.com, salmonrun.com and betterstudy.com all have estimates > $1,000 and all the estimates are within (2X) double the lowest estimate. This is a good cluster. Not wild and scattered.

I have seen several appraisals whereby there was one comparable at $10, another at $70, another at $170 then 3 in the mid-1000s and one in the mid-2000s. Wild clustering and scattering is suspect, meaning you will need to dig deeper to the underlying situation & supporting data.

I am interested in knowing if there is “skewing” - meaning are 1-2 low value names tilting the estimate down? Or is this a situation where 1-2 high value names are tilting the estimate upward?

Clustering and skewing of comparable units helps provide context for the Estimate Value.


Step #3 –

The 3rd action I take is run GoValue on EACH of the items provided in the original More Comparable Domains Sold section.

Now this will provide you some fun insight.

Yes, I then check for clustering & skewing for each name in the 2nd tier supporting levels, but what is fun to see is - where in the data set do the valuations rise? (providing potential insight to DEMAND)

Here is the goal.

The comparable units are all SOLD domains, so this isn’t theoretical exercise at this point. We have our (7) 1st tier comparable units helping to provide us some context to the original appraisal, now we have (49) 2nd tier comparable units providing us insight to “underlying demand”.

This is how I find Keywords that are more likely to be in demand.

For example – under the oceanstudy.com comparable, I see that waterstudy.com sold for $3,000. This tells me that the term “water”, while more generic, might be in more demand. So for all those beach goers, sorry to say but "water" is more liquid than "ocean" (better stated as "provides more liquidity").

Another example – under the stemstudy.com comparable, I see that stemjobs.com sold for $3,500. Is having a job better than hosting a study? Maybe not better, but more sought after by a larger audience.

And another example – under the betterstudy.com comparable, I see that smartstudy.com sold for $3,500. I guess it is better to be smart, than to simply be better.

Anyways... these insights have helped me to find hand-regs with much higher valuations and, hopefully, will provide better sale results than simply picking names ad hoc / randomly.

I hope the above overview is helpful and provides a deeper insight for this thread.

A number… is just a number… but a number with context is value!

Have a great day.

Observation:

I found this interesting this morning.

Of the (45) domains posted on this thread... 77% are now TAKEN. (35 of 45 domains posted)

There have been a variety of individuals who have registered them and have thanked me via PM.

Glad to see the thread and periodic posts are useful.


Request - For those individuals who have registered the (35) domains, please share with us if you re-sell one of the domains.

I would like to be the 1st to congratulate you and celebrate your success with the group.

Also, I think it would be insightful for all of us on this thread to know which sales platform you utilized - rather via Afternic, Sedo, eBay, Undeveloped, Uniregistry, Inbound, Outbound, etc.

I would greatly appreciate any insight you provide and will continue posting names on this thread.

Thanks and best of luck with your $ales this month!

@Recons.Com -

Thanks for your candor.

I am posting the items (appraisals) to illustrate what is available and the valuations provided by the GD GoValue tool, but more importantly (at least for me) I find that by using the GoValue tool to dig down 2-3 layers deep into their comps provides context to their appraisals. And for me, this has forced me to look at certain keyword based names in a different context.

A domain's value sort of reminds me of a used furniture store. I might walk through the store and shrug my shoulders at what is available, yet someone else might find that unique item they've been looking for.

As for the "commercial" value of the domains mentioned, here are some thoughts that come to mind.

"Pure+Accident" - potentially a blog site about unusual accidents, sort of like "The Farmers Insurance" commercials being advertised these days and on the site provide insurance based ads. A long-tail keyword site for stuff like "deer scratched my car" or "bear broke into my house" (usual, weird and rare claim situations that get your attention - once there you might click on an auto insurance ad)

"Rerun+Data"- agree - I can't think of an immediate marketing idea - the only thing that comes to mind a conspiracy site or data analyst playground. Again - agree it's weaker than other naming options.

"Names+Quest" - a "name my brand" type site that someone could use as a lead generator site for their domain inventory. The content on the site could be about different industry sectors and industry specific startup information for finding a name.

"Bonds+Catalog" - a financial site listing (and clarifying) the various types of investment bonds that are available, plus could include lead gen advertising either for investments or bail bonds options. Commercial? If it can drive a lead (as a "catalog") - then it's commercial.

And back to the used furniture store example - I might say... "hey that's a cool looking lamp" and my wife would say "grow up - the 70's are in the past"... and a NY home decorator might puke at the gaudy item.

Meanwhile that lamp now sits in my office... shedding light on my favorite Elvis paintng.

Not disagreeing with you, just indicating we all have different taste.

Also wanted to mention - the process of providing the domains listed on this thread has provided an opportunity for several terrific PM discussions (off-thread).

Thanks again for your post - but I see the GoValue tool in a different light than simply using the estimate numbers provided as gospel.

-Cougar

ps: Recons does have a good point. I am posting these items as observations, not fervent recommendations.

Enjoy. Please, if you make a sale on any of these ($100+), message me. I don't want money or anything like that, I just want some experience in coming up with good names. It will be super helpful to know what kind of domains sell or not - it's hard to tell when you're coming up with many names. Thanks!!! Greatly appreciated.

Tomorrow will be the last day of the experiment, as promised. Overall, I would say that my patience and focus skills became better - hand registering is very mentally intensive and takes time.

Actually, I want to talk about mental fatigue today.

It is said that the average human makes 35 000 decisions a day. When I go through my lists of available names (made through combining dictionary words), I make a decision for each name I see.
Let's say, out of 500 names I scroll past, I pick up 7. These are A LOT of decisions made by the brain in a short amount of time. When you go through this process for a while, you will find yourself needing a break after an hour or two.

My point is simply to present to you that this is happening - I do not really have a strong opinion on whether you should do hand regs or avoid them, but I do suggest to try this process once. Just know, it will take more time than you expect & more brain power than you expect. However, you will be able to spot some really decent names for the lowest price imaginable - the register fee.

I think everyone should try manually searching for names, as the return on the investment can be really worth it. Especially the nay-sayers There is definitely potential in these kinds of names.

So yeah. Manually searching for domains literally taxes your brain's decision making capacity. I suggest setting aside an evening / a few hours for this, and not staying up too late to do this (guilty ). Find your batch of names, then come back to it later with a fresh mind and filter out the bad names.

Cheers.
