Estibot estimation is just bizarre

[james2002]

I am surprised when I check some domains with estibot and I think it is unreliable, IMO.

For example, when I checked "discountwebhosting.com", it said only worth $90. But I know that it was sold for around $30,000 and it is very good domain.

I think estibot is good to automatically check nambio for domain sale prices for its estimation. It just takes around 5-10 % off the domain sale price.

For example, when I checked "themortgage.com" , it said "$490,000". When I checked "eflowers.com", it is around 5-10 % off the sale price.

I also check some of other premium domains (which have not been sold) but results were disappointing.

I now concluded that estibot is not reliable and it will be waste of time to check the domain value with that. But there might be other good tools for domainers.

Estibot isin't just for domain evaluation!
it shows backlinks, wordtracker stats, overture etc.

I use it alot, found it to be a very helpful source.

Yes, I was just talking about domain evaluation. I agree there are good tools for domainers.

Can you get details of a developed website? Minus the evaluation? Is this a sign up type of tool?

automatic appraisal services = complete joke.

Hi James2002,

Just wondering: are you sure that you have the domain right? Discountedwebhosting.net and .org are still available, which in itself leads me to believe that the .com would have a tough time selling for $30,000.

By no means do I think estibot is completely accurate, and even the site itself says something to that effect, but I don't think your criticism of it is factual in this specific case.

Edit:

I checked eFlowers.com and it is "valued" at $980,000. Does that mean it sold for between $10 to $20 million? :tri:

Sorry. It is discountwebhosting.com valued by estibot at $90 but sold nearly $30,000 .

DiscountWebHosting.com is "valued" at $40,000...

 

[weblord]

don't treat it as THE appraisal tool there are lots of goodies there that you can use as reference and for study purposes, it's just that an estimation tool but not the conclusion.

 

[james2002]

DiscountWebHosting.com is "valued" at $40,000...

No. Only around $100.

[mis_chiff]

The capitals defining each word does make a difference
instead of
discountwebhosting.com use DiscountWebHosting.com

without caps
Valuation : USD 100


with caps
Overture/mo 3365
Wordtracker/day 105
Valuation : USD 40,000

 

[JGK]

No. Only around $100.

As it recommends in the page, separate the keywords.

No, it's $40,000

I see. It is totally different.

 

[Spade]

Having the lowercase confused Estibot just a bit (occasionally) helping the system but showing it what the keywords are definetly helps.

Yeah, be very careful with the Capitalising of the first letters of each word and the spacing. I've found Estibot to be a very valuable tool. It does rarely make some real shocker decisions, but usually pretty darn good

 

[Trickac14]

wow someone didn't read how to use estibot and never capitalized or space keywords lol

So this entire thread meant to debunk the valuations of Estibot actually end up doing the complete opposite and show how decent it's valuations are for the most part.

There is no such thing as an accurate valuation because the value of any domain is only what someone is willing to pay for it. That could be $10 or $100,000. However estibot is entirely the best automatted appraiser available.

is there any data showing the estibot valuation the day prior to a confirmed sale over time?
