Estibot

[coldgarb]

I understand that the values shown by estibot should not be taken as a true estimate of a website.
Still I would like to know what is the minimum value in estibot that would excite an expert domainer

The value that estibot pops out does not mean much to most of us. Its kind of like ohh thats nice. What i personally use it for is the statistics it will pop out like ppc, wordtracker, frquency, backlins, that type of stuff to me is more valuable that just the "value" it pops out. Although if calculated and marketed correctly the number that comes out is often closer than you would think.

An expert domainer doesn't put much stock in estibot and probably wouldn't get "excited" by its valuations.

Don't get me wrong, estibot is a great free tool and provides a lot of useful information along with the estimate, but I just don't see an "expert" being really concerned with what estibot says his name is worth.

I've found Estibot.com has been developed onto a new technical level. It is a useful domain appraisal tool now. Domain names are liquid values, at this time they are valued more and at another time they are valued less, and domain names will go up in their values if developed well or commercialized well. Different domain buyers have different considerations and remarks on domain names and their values. It's actually impossible for any domain appraiser and any domain appraisal tool to give out 100% accurate domains' appraisal values. However, Estibot is capable of giving you helpful referential domain values for the present domain market. It is actually useful for anyone to buy domains.

Hope Estibot will develop better.

If estibot says it is worth $30k+ it is probably a half-decent domain.

it works both ways, I have typed in generic domains that estibot says are worth $70, and typos estibot says are worth $20,000... its not a standard, but if its a coin toss, estibot can make your decision a little easier.

Estibot is the most accurate tool for domain valuation. Mind you I said TOOL ....

It's unique and can be helpful for beginners. I sold a site yesterday. Here are the facts of the sale.

I purchased a domain only about a year ago for $200. Estibot appraises domain today as $160.

I sold domain with site this week for $450. Estibot appraised domain with site as $440 today.

I had NOT evaluated the site with estibot BEFORE the sale. I just decided to check now and those were results. Any sale has human factors in it to consider..such as I develop forums so often I am willing to pay a bit more for a good forum domain only knowing I can develop and gain full potential. In a sale you never know if the buyer is willing to pay a premium because there are so many factors.

However I believe just about any domainer uses certain parameters in determining value. They might be Google results, wordtracker, PPC payouts for keyword, or alexa ranking. These are fixed parameters that a tool like estibot can use to create a value.

it works both ways, I have typed in generic domains that estibot says are worth $70, and typos estibot says are worth $20,000... its not a standard, but if its a coin toss, estibot can make your decision a little easier.

Not to be a skeptic but what's were these domains. I find it hard to believe estibot gave a generic a $70 value. Was the domain a non-dotcom? And typos can be worth $20k...again do you have an example?

Humans are unpredictable. There is also NO SUCH THING as an accurate valuation. What's true is that Estibot is by far the most accurate of any tool for domain valuation.

If you have a price valuation over 1 million, IMO you can selling it with higher price.

I have a one word domain name that estibot values at $24,000, here is the appraisal:

Frequency (Google) 5090000
in Anchor Text 216000
in Title 286000
in URL 75700
Backlinks 0
PageRank 2
Alexa Rank 21258340 **
Traffic (Visits / Day) some**
PPC Ads # 0
Max PPC Bid $0.1
MAX PPC Income/day $9
Overture/mo 89929
Wordtracker/day 18570


http://EstiBot.com Valuation : USD 24,000


I really like that appraisal but I don't get excited, because I know there is little to no chance the domain name would sell for anything close to that price. I have other names with an estibot value of low XXX that I know will probably sell for much more than the name valued at $24,000.

ppc, wordtracker, frquency, backlins, that type of stuff to me is more valuable that just the "value" it pops out.

That's exactly the same thing I do. I put value based on those not what the bot thinks. So estibot is completely useful in this case.

Obviously we take these figures and apply HUMAN emotion to them. FYI

Porte great minds think alike

I agree completely. Estibot is great in that it gives you all that information all at once. Even without the appraisal it would still be a great tool.

 

[metronome]

well, if you want to play safe, go to estibot, appraise the domain name, it must have great name that can be monetized, must have more than 1,000,000 google search results, must have more than 10,000 MSN freq, must have 1000+ wordtracker, must have 10,000+ overture, must have high ppc, and must have more than 100,000 USD estibot value lolz. and not only that, it must be .com, and if you do not understand the name in english, forget it(although it has 100,000 USD estibot value).~~:P

--end of joke--~~ or may be I am not joking ergh.

I think price depends on human themselves.
if it is not dependant on human, nobody will use it as a substitute to bartering.

All of you have been more than helpful and exceedingly generous with your input for which I am profoundly appreciative.
