Hi All,

Can you please appraise the domains above?

a couple thousand searches (exact) each month for gaining. No one searches for gainings IMHO these are worthless. If you want to put "e" or "i" in front of a search term - it really need 50,000 exact searches a month to make this make sense or it needs to be tied to a popular brand. Sorry.

Why do you think search volume is the only thing that makes a domain valubale?

As you said in another thread, you are not a domainer, I think you need more experience in the field.

I think eganinig.com is worth low $$ to very low $$$

I thnk you just wasted yor money on the rest, but you could try to include them in a package deal.

With search volume, a domain can get SEO advantage. Many end users desire generic names tied to high search terms. Also as brands, these are not that great IMHO

While I'm not a domainer, I've spent over $100,000 acquiring domains. I've also helped launch 4 internet companies - two sold, one went public, and the other I current run. I've acquired two other internet companies. I've been working in the internet field since 1997.

I'm sorry if you think I need more experience.

But I'm one of those so called end users, most domainers covet.

You have a lot of information about how search engines work and I regard you with reverence for that. However, when it comes to the value of the domain it is somewhat different.

Of course, it is very important for a domain name to have a huge search volume. However, the ones with huge search volumes have already been registered in 1990s. Therefore, what new domainers like me are doing is to find the mines that haven't yet been discovered.

With this domain name, the importance is with its secret meaning which is profit and earnings. Gainings as well as gaining mean profit, income, earnings.

I don't think you took this account while appraising. If you had would you still say what you said?

Make sure a name is worthwhile before regging several variations on the name.
Names are hard to promote if you are so unsure of the name that you reg. different versions.
No such thing a Secret meanings when it comes to domain names
Names should be self-evident or easily explained.


eGAINING.com or eGAININGs. should/NEED to be developed then the series worth $500 Approx.

First of all, that is not true. It is true many of the really high search terms have been taken. But I have been hand-regging and picking off drop lists many domains that have some search volume 1,000 to 20,000 exact searches. There is still many domains available with some search volume that IMHO are far superior to the ones on your list.

In addition, as a developer of domain names - I see zero commercial value in e-gaining.com or egaining. Yea, you could put a site dedicated to fitness training or something up there - but when I bought fitnesstrainers.net for $700 - I would use that domain - better brand - more potential.

If a domain is not tied to search volume, then the value of the domain lies within the brand. Once again, in this case - I don't think the brand has significant value. As you can see with some other appraisals, I often quote brand value as another aspect of the appraisal. In your case - I don't see it.

ReceptionFacility.com - low search volume - but excellent brand potential because of the 30,000 reception halls in this country - chances are great that 1 of them will really want that domain.

Hope you see my point.

IMHO the domain name is still worthless - even when you consider potential market, develop possibility, brand value, and search volume. Sorry. This is subjective. You couldn't even pay me $100 to take that domain off your hands

I could be wrong.

BTW the domain name has little to do with profits and revenue. I built a web company on netgenshopper.com - the worst domain name in history. When we sold the company, we switched the dns to the new domain and netgenshopper.com became worthless overnight.

I totally understand your point but the question here is that where and how can we use egaining.com? You are limiting the scope of the domain just to use with fitness related stuff. However, while purchasing it I haven't even thought of using it with fitness related stuff. I purchased egainings.com first in order to build a referral website. Gainings is a dictionary word meaning profit, revenue, earnings.

I think it is a great alternative to e-profit, e-revenue etc. You have 0,00001% chance to acquire those. You have to find an alternative. In this case egaining and egainings are the best alternatives when you take into consideration that even e-earnings and e-proceeds are registered.

Besides I have a collection egaining, egainings, e-gainings,egainings are mine.

On the other hand, in your appraisal you are missing the quality of branding. To be honest you have no idea about brandibility. If it was brandless, then all of the domains wouldn't be regged.

There may be 30,000 reception halls but there are millions of people desiring to earn income using internet. One of them is going to want to purchase a quality but not too expensive domain. For fitnesstrainers.net, I wouldn't pay even a penny.

thanks

 

[localexperts]

You are confusing appraisal of a domain name with appraisal of a business idea. I could use any domain for any venture.

For one thing the exact search volume on "gaining" is a couple thousand, which means I would have to spend ALOT of money building up gaining.com as brand - never mind the additional challenege of adding an "e" for a low volume search term.

IF PEOPLE DON"T SEARCH FOR IT - GUESS WHAT YOU HAVE TO BUILD THE BRAND

People search for "you tube". Why because YouTube.com build a brand.

Search volume gives some indication on brandability

"Fitness Trainers" has more search volume than "gaining". No one searches for "gaining", let alone "egaining". You would need to spend millions to build that brand!

As a former brand manager, I wouldn't invest in egaining.com.

I'm sorry you don't like my assessment of your domain.

[localexperts]

To be honest you have no idea about brandibility.

I'm PMed you my background. My companies have generated millions in the past 10 years. If you choose to disagree with me - that is fine. But, I have a proven track record of building, launching, and selling internet companies. I manage a seven figure marketing budget, I'm a former brand and product manager. I do have some idea of what will brand easily and what will take MILLIONS to brand.

Your domain, would take millions to brand IMHO

Gaining isn't the same as "Shopping".

Shopping is a high search term with great brand potential.

Personally Gaining.com (without the e) is worth low $XXXX to mid $XXXX IMHO

Shopping.com is worth millions. Great, Great Brand

You chose a horrible word to go play variant and tack on an "e"

Hi,

while i agree with some of your comments about the brandability, and while i personally LIKE egaining.com and think that it is brandable, i totally disagree with such comments quoted above.

there is absolutely no point in mentioning other related registered domain names as proof of the quality of a name (unless the sites are developed and interesting).

just look at all the names, they are either parked , unused , on sedo with no bids and no traffic, etc. etc...expect
egain which is a call center software company and for sure did put a lot of work and advertising on this name/trademark (and which btw could be a potential customer for your names! as they use this word "egaining" also ).

this doesn't mean that you can't mention them, when selling domain names (i do that too), but in an appraisal, these are irrelevant. who knows who, when, why registered a name?
maybe someone was drunk and registered a name which he felt in love with , under 100 extensions.....

 

[localexperts]

Look he would just rather take personal shots because he doesn't like my opinion.

While I respect people who have differing viewpoints, if he feels so strong about his domain.

Develop it, build it as an internet business, and stick to your guns. Put your money where you mouth is.

PS) But if you develop it, then the value is in the business model, not the domain. IMHO. Which is the flaw in his logic about my opinion.

BTW Google.com undeveloped in 1997. WORTHLESS.

Maybe they will show up on a drop list in a theater near you (soon).

Remember this, with enough money ANYTHING can be branded. The question is how much money does it take to brand hotels.com vs ehotels.com or ilovehotels.com or leadinghotels.com or comfortablehotels.com.

hotels.com is orders of magnitude and costs less to brand IMHO.

 

[GiftedDomains]

thanks

btw, you must be joking.

this is 100% generic domain name with prestige and exactly describes what is behind it.
if you wouldn't even pay a penny for it (even if it is not .com), then you have no idea about the basics of domaining business. Sorry to say that!

 

[localexperts]

There may be 30,000 reception halls but there are millions of people desiring to earn income using internet.

How many people get married each year. The number is something like 2.5 to 3.5 million couples in the US who need a reception hall. Plus people planning bar-mitzvahs, parties, anniversaries, and birthdays (last time I looked everyone had a birthday)

I guess you must think I'm a real nut to spend $10,000 for BanquetFacilities.com.

 

[sellyourname]

I'm sorry you don't like my assessment of your domain.

The point isn't that I didn't like your assesment of my domain. Rather, your underestimation of "You couldn't even pay me $100 to take that domain off your hands" made me think like you are appraising just to defame the domain name. That is all.

Well maybe not as important as search engine value or brandibility but the registration of other extensions of a domain name is absolutely a big criteria IMHO. However, in order to make the most you should register .com extension and leave the rest to people for registration. That way you can earn more because once I sold a domain name like that for $2000

localexperts is 1000% correct.
Watch auction records sometime. E and I prefix get absolutely given away. Stuff that you would intuitively expect to bring more, doesn't.

Something like this, where the prefixed keyword has a very distant (virtually non-existant) connection to commerce, they're worth less than reg.

I do own a few E and I prefix geo names and a couple keywords... recently picked up eLampshades off drop... but the people who are prone to registering e(Esoteric, commercially-irrelevant keyword).com just because its a dictionary word with a letter prefix don't understand how the internet works and they would probably fail marketing 101, too.

"Domaining" = lol.
