Evaluation Theory of Two Word Domains

[jeffusa]

Does anyone have an evaluation method they use to determine the value of two word domains (that are two standard english words) that do not include hyphens.

Keyword Value, and Order of the words are 2 characteristics that affect value. Also find phrases that people use everyday. Hope this helps.

Premium Domain has an interesting valuation method you might want to check out. I know that there used to be a valuation tool here at Namepros that used word frequency and some other factors to determine a price. It's been gone for a couple of years, though.

Adwords Searches
Overture Searches
Google web pages results (with quotes)
Advertisers going for the terms
Length! Number of words.

Most automated appraisal services fail below this line -----

Uniques per day.
PPC Its earning.
What is the trend of searches showing, up or down?
Ease to misspell the words.
Can you obtain the plural, .net, .org and .tld of any relevant country.
Keyword order (something almost all automated appraisal systems miss)
Industry your selling to (Ditto above, assume thats true for all of these)
Country your selling to, is it a national, international or regional name for instance.
Recent Sale Prices and Trends
How many names are still available to be registered that can perform the same function.
How much competition you have, even more importantly in the price range your looking to sell at
How old is the domain, for SEO purposes.

What have I missed, hmm:

Does the name make gramatical sense, is it brandable, is anyone advertising the term on tv, was it a previously existing website with backlinks, how much development has been done around the terms already (good sign) oh and one I often look for that so many people miss.

Can you see a way to sell the name? If not don't even bother registering it!

Do you think if you find a name that is not used on any of the .tlds that buying up all of the .tlds for it (except country ones) would make it more valuable in the marketplace?

Recent Sale Prices and Trends

Without a doubt one of the most important factors.

See Sig for details!

I've been searching for something as comprehensive as this for a long, long time, thank you.

Now if there was only some way to search categories that would be the icing on the cake, but its nice to at least have the cake.

Thanks.

Well, that's enticingly cryptic! Seems like a few things have been "coming soon" for the last couple of months. Care to elaborate a bit?

LoL. Sure thing.

Expanded Database (Individual Domainer Sales plus a few additional sources)
Break down of Popular Domain "Classes" (LLL.com, CCC.com, IDNs) for easier research.
A site redesign, and a few other functions that I will not disclose until shortly before they are available.

Sorry for the delays... Too many projects/issues at one time. Perhaps alittle over optimistic on my part.
