domain Illusions.net

[Federer]

Please appraise my www.illusions.net website.

Over 300,000 exact searches for "illusions" in November 2008. That's colossal search quantity.

I would now like to sell domain+website content but need a little guidance as to the pricing. The website may also be marketed to end users if I have time.

Thanks in advance.

All the best.

As such the website worth mid xxx$ to high xxx$.

All the Best.

Quick look through the site, nice work. The domain is plural which hurts value a bit. Overall a nice developed .NET.

Low to mid $xxx reseller. High $xxx to low $x,xxx end user. IMO.

Superb domain name Federer, I would say high $xxx - mid $x,xxx certainly, now that you have developed it. Just give it a time and domain will sell - right now more difficult cause of the economy crisis, but things will sort out in the near future. Does it get any traffic?

 

[Tim Schoon]

It's a great domain + site, capable of getting some nice traffic IMO.

its a .net tho, I think reseller value would be around $1-2k including the site.
depends on traffic / rev. ofcourse. You might get up to mid $x,xxx from a motivated buyer

Great Domain. It is obviously an in demand term since 302 .NET alone contain the term "illusions". The term also enjoys a high search volume.

I think even reseller wise it is worth low $X,XXX. This is the type of domain that will find an end user if you are patient.

Federer - out of curiosity, which platform(s) did you use to create the website housed on Illusions.net? Did you whip it up via a garden-variety WordPress template, hire a programmer to do your bidding, or none of the above? It's a very nice mini-site.

I would say it's price is close to mid $XX,XXX. IMHO

Might take a little while though. Illusions.com is still parked page. But who knows -- the purchaser might want both the .com and .net versions.

hello

site looks very good very nice job

I'd say dont sell it to a reseller under low $x,xxx and for end user high $x,xxx

P.S. I have a little collection of illusion optic wallpapers may be you have them but if you are interested pm me, I can give them to you without any hesitation

good luck!

 

[bobdigital]

interesting opinions.
as JUST a vanity email address domain, it is worth $200-$250

 

[dbandlo]

i wouldnt let it go less than $2k to reseller.

Ok, I see many factors for consideration.

If your website has advertising/affiliate revenue this will increase the value - as it stands your site has cracked the top 1,000,000 in alexa which means it is likely getting around 100 uniques per day?

The site optillusions.com has ads everywhere (including some super annoying popups) and it is ranked in the top 150,000.

By no means should your site be annoying, but some sort of revenue stream needs to be present for a buyer to factor the value of the website.

Another idea that will generate itself is starting a forum on illusions.net - a place for people to share illusions - this could be a great way to search engines hits, repeat visitors and user generated content that will require moderation and eventually a monetization plan

illusion 1,000,000
illusions 1,000,000
optical illusions 450,000
optical illusion 201,000
scary illusions 74,000
jesus illusion 27,100
magic illusions 22,200

+ many more

The searches for this term are through the roof!


the .com would be wonderful to acquire as it is just sitting there (1993 reg)

I would say the .com version is worth $100k to $200k as-is, perhaps even going this high on a Sedo auction or at a live Moniker/Latona auction/newsletter

Most .nets are about 10 to 15% of the com - this beeng said I'd say the name is worth $10k to $25k right now.

A website making residual revenue of xxx per month or better will increase the value.

I agree with bmugford - patience will sell this name for xx,xxx - if you wanted to sell in the very near term mid x,xxx minimum could be expected.


I'm dumbstruck in a sense that a famous book, film or tv series has not come out with this name....chances are it will happen.


Also I think we need to stop using the economical collapse as a serious method for appraising and detracting from the value of premium quality names.

The economical collapse hurt the 90% or so people who wouldn't have the cash or the desire to buy top level domain names to begin with - this being said - the industry should pick up some steam in 09 as we as domainers move towards finding end users and developing - the future is bright.

If 85 to 90% of domain names were developed rather than vice versa, the prices of every name would dramatically increase.
