.tv Estibot and TVs

[claudedauman]

Hello All,

I just reappraised all of my .TVs with estibot. To my surprise, it seems that many of my .TVs appraised much higher now than they did a few months ago. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Best,

Claude

The short answer is - no - there's really been no discernible improvement in the accuracy of the .TV valuations imo. Are they different than when estibot 2.0 first launched? Maybe, but it's certainly not at the point where estibot appraisals of .tv should now be considered relevant.

Examples:
FunnyVideos: 2.2 mil exact searches, > $1 CPC, $650 valuation
DesktopComputers: 821k exact searches, $5 CPC, $420 valuation

For comparison, the .INFO appraisals for the above keywords are 3 times the .TV appraisal. The .US appraisals are > 5 times what's listed for the .TV and the .net is nearly 100 times the .TV valuation.

Another appraisal tool is available at Appraise.EPIK.com - it appears .TV is appraised much lower than .Net there as well. Now to the extent a .TV might be more difficult to rank than a .Net, the .TV should be worth less. But if a domain can rank and make money via Adsense, affiliates, lead gen, who cares what the TLD is? Recently one of my .TV sites launched last summer starting ranking on page one of Google. Hopefully I can get a few more to rank on p. 1 or p.2 so I can start to get a better feel of the time to get there.
