domain MoreRecent.com - Please appraise

[glabnet]

Very much I ask to express Your opinion on my new COMs domain name

MoreRecent.com

I think it will be suitable for multimedia sites.

SE results for "More Recent":
Google - 27,200,000, Yahoo - 35,300,000, MSN - 40,100,000

 

[Jeff]

How would this, if developed, be suitable for multimedia sites? :blink: :talk:

Thanks for the assistance.
-Jeff

 

[glabnet]

Or can be generally intended for any sites, where is something new and recent?
If I am wrong and I am mistaken that I ask your advice.

 

[Jeff]

Thanks for the insight ... I don't see any premium value here without development ...
$0.00 - Reg. fee+/-, IMHO. :blink:

Best of Luck.
-Jeff

I second Jeff opinion. "More Recent" are popular words cause they establish so many phrases, but not keywords that people will look for. So your bet is to develop the name. :tu:

 

[glabnet]

Porte and Jeff, thanks for appraise and small lesson.

Then explain to me, please, by what principle works EstiBot.
Today it appraise my this domain on $8000. :yell:

Estibot is in beta and it is not perfect. I don't know how it works but it must have looked at the frequency in MSN 38200000 and figured the price based on that number. The other numbers on the estibot results page are all zero.

LessRecent.com appraises at $980 on estibot. Which again must be because of the msn frequency of 11000000. It's also available.

If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is....

 

[Porte]

gubera. Bingo!
Estibot is a tool that provides info in one place and it's great for this purpose. I would not solely appraise domains by Estibot though, but the values Ovt, wordtracker, google, msn ..that stuff together helps us evaluate a domain.

I'd also value this at around the reg fee mark

Another bingo! from me.

Since I programmed the thing (EstiBot), I can explain this in a bit more detail, and gubera is exactly right.

In my research I've found that even though some keyword combinations have no search popularity (ovt/wt), and very little other stats, the fact that they are a popular phrase on the Internet (MSN/Google frequency) correlates significantly with the corresponding domain's potential value.

Many of such domains are worth nothing, such as maybe this one. But to categorically appraise such domains as worth nothing would yield poor appraisal reliability for most such domains.

To rephrase: If estibot gave reg fee appraisals to all domains that have no search popularity, it would produce too many reg fee appraisals for domains that are actually worth more. The overall reliability would suffer.

This is why I built a special routine for those domains that have no search popularity. The keyword value is compared against the known sales prices of other such domains that had no search popularity either. The valuation is then calculated from that correlation.

Most of the time this works reasonably well. However, there are certain phrases that are very frequent, such as this one "more recent", but obviously have no commercial value as domains. These end up getting over-appraised due to the above reasons.

I have built several error-reduction filters to avoid this from happening, and to detect words that increase the probability of over-valuation. Nevertheless, some domains slip through all filters, and this is one of them.

Of course, the auto-appraisal is only ever a ballpark indication at best, and as said above, and also as clearly said on the estibot site, "if it seems too good to be true, then that's probably just what it is"

Here's a quote from http://estibot.com/guide.html

-Is this a realistic appraisal? If not, look at your domain name and ask yourself why EstiBot may be appraising it wrong. Chances are that you'll figure it out. If you think "my domain can't possibly be worth that" or "my domain is absolutely certainly worth more than that", then you are probably (but not necessarily) right.

Thanks!

Thanks all for an explanation.
But I former do not understand why, for example, on BuyDomains.com almost the same domains as mine:

MoreFresh - $2,188
MoreHere.com - $2,288
MoreProfessional.com - $3,888
MoreLess.com - $2,588
MoreToday.com - $1,988
.........
MorePrecious.com - $1,588.00
MoreHot.com - $1,300.00
and etc.

are considered Premium Domain, though are common phrases???
And such examples I can result much (from Sedo and other).

I do not know how buydomains appraises their names, but to me they look very expensive.

Appraising a domain name is hard. You can do all your research (estibot, internet archives, overture, backlinks, google etc, etc, etc), but what it will always come down to is finding someone who wants the name and willing to pay for it.

You might find a company with deep pockets who really wants the name and will pay $8000 for it.

When I look at the results (estibot, internet archives, overture, backlinks, google etc, etc, etc) it does not look like an $8000 name.

Easy. Those are asking prices. They can be anything. They are maybe close to end user prices. As a rule, just about any remotely sensible domain can sell for $1k-$2k to an end user.

Like gubera said, it comes down to finding the right buyer - all domains are worth $1k+ provided you find a motivated enough buyer. Some domains are easier to find buyers for than others. These here are of the latter type.

Yours is not the worst reg though - it makes some kind of sense for a news site, but only some I guess. Anyway, I've regged worse names so don't worry!

Good luck!
Josh

Thanks all for a perfect lesson for choice domains.
I have understood all and, I hope, it to me will help with future to avoid unnecessary expenses of money.

Reps to all teachers.
