discuss GoDaddy vs Estibot vs NameBio

[gomikeright]

I feel like GoDaddy's domain appraisal tool is better than Estibot. Estibot looks at searches of a domains words together, but I think it doesn't take into account the value of the keywords individually. I know GoDaddy's tool is free and Estibot costs money after a few appraisals, but that doesn't automatically make it better.

I think it makes sense for GoDaddy to separate the words and recognize their value individually. Also I think NameBio has better comparable sales than Estibot. It seems like Estibot finds the worst comparable sales it can for a domain compared to GoDaddy and NameBio. GoDaddy's comparable sales are more average. What do you think?

Is it possible to do bulk lookup for GoValue values?

For all the names you have there you can get it via the domain manager.

Don't think they have bulk lookup available to all yet.

Good afternoon and welcome to NP as I see you're relatively new.

Obviously, from the comments that you made your far from a Newbie to tech and domain names in general.

I've been doing this for just over a year but I did a lot of reading and understanding before I bought/registered my first domain.

I'm considered a Newbie but I bring 54 years of the university of life to the table. This gives me a different perspective, but it not something that gets you any credit in this world. I get mad when people tell you your domains are worthless but then try to buy them from you, obviously with a plan to make even more money off the same domain name.

I'm lucky compared to most as I don't need to sell any domain names. If I don't have any money I just don't register or buy any names until I have enough funds.

There are certain commodities/services that have never suffered during recessionary times such as bread and milk. Now, if you owned bread.com or milk.com they would be worth a shed load of money, but who is actually going to buy them. Maybe only five people in the world. I'd rather own buymilktoday.com buybreadtoday.com and know that there were potentially more people available and willing to buy the names.

I'm not sure that the basic economic principle of supply and demand works the same for million dollar domain names.

Maybe, just maybe one day I will own Milk.com. You could say its a very liquid domain.

Enjoy your journey and good luck for the future.

- Brilliant !

90% of domains appraised on gd are trash, m2s.org?

Just realized that Estibot has a length problem.

"Very Short: short domains are more memorable." I see this often when Estibot appraises 9 or 10 letter domains.

I'd say a "very short" domain needs to have 6 characters at most.

I found out that Estibot gives results that don't make sense. If you insert cryptowatch.io Estibot says it's value is around $4,000 but when you insert cryptowatch.com Estibot says the value is less than $100. Everyone knows a .com is worth more than any other TLD. I didn't spell it wrong or anything. Put them in for yourself. I can only conclude that Estibot does this because while both of them have no search traffic, cryptowatch.io was sold in the past for around $4,000. Now this looks very bad and I haven't seen anything this bad with GoDaddy's free valuation tool.

What do you think?

Just incase they are paying attention and fix this difference in valuations before you test it out. I encourage you all to look up recent sales on NameBio and see how estibot valuates the different TLD's compared to the .com versions using the same words. Try it with two word domains. That's how I found this.

In my experience, Estibot tends to seriously undervalue most domains, while GoDaddy tends to overvalue $0 to $xxx value domains, and to clump a lot of names in the ~$1000 ... $1300 range. Neither has any precision, however GD makes more sense as a price to use in case you have no clue how to price your domain.

GD is valuable, if over 3k+

Not really. They have a lid on proposals. IIRC $25K? So there low priced values are crap, as well as any higher priced domain are crap. So why would you only trust those valued between 2K and $25K? I think both Estibot, GoDaddy, and everybody else are crap at estimating the price of domains. You would be better checking out NameBio for sales, and drawing you own conclusions. It couldn't be much worse, and would potentially be better, being based on real sales. Of course, except for the 80%(?) which go unreported And time-differentials
