a good name but the problem I have with it is that it is long. I disagree with 10k, i think it is much lower but I cannot put a number on this one for sure

far less in value - $100 in my opinion.

10k is based on brandability not type-in...

at least 10k

no way. you could get quite a bit though

I think DigitalPayments.com is a good name but it is a bit vague.
It could be good for a payment processor... or an integrator (a company integrating several payment methods like credit cards, paypal together).
You could add some value by developing the domain into a minisite with E-commerce resources, payments scripts and tutorials etc.
I would gear for mid- high-$$$ but you may have to wait for the right end user...
Good luck.

I think it is a very vague and long domain and digital payments has a low OVT. Most online pay companies use pay.. I.e. Paypal, FirePay, Click2Pay, PaySpark, etc.. It's not very brandable is what I'm getting at. I'd say low to mid $xxx.

It's not vague at all, have you even boldered to visit the site? Apperantly not since this site is a fully working operational site that portraits a real business offering various payment services for the mobile industry.

You really should take the time to think through your appraisel and your reply.
And not post something out of the blue.

This i say because of your advice to develop it into a mini-site.

The term ''Digital Payments'' is a very widely used term even though the OV result may not show this.
Google shows 39.000.000 results for a search with ''Digital Payments'' and shows various companies involved with this.
This type of industry has a vast amount of various techniques and ongoing developments regarding Digital Payments.

I think the argument The domain is long is always so vague and really doesn't mean a thing in my opinion unless you're talking about non-sensible domains.

In this case the length is acceptable combined with these keywords. Lenght is trivial and just look at some sales that where made on Sedo that where about the same length that did very nice keeping in mind that the keywords where not as much relevant and $ industry related.

It's all about desciriptiveness in my opinion and being concise combined with .com extension and the domain being number 1! for the search ''Digital Payments'' and 39 million other results showing up i think this is a very nice domain and could very well yield 10K as has been said above.

XXX appraisels are out of the question in my opinion and is at least in the XX.XXX range.

I totally agree, these guys appraise top notch names for a few hundred $$$, are obviously clueless at what the top end names can bring.

It's been stated a million times on this forum that you don't go by Google results, you go by OVT to determine a keywords popularity.. In fact, when you do search Google for "digital payments" it only returns 17,500 results. You're 39 million is way off base. You must use quotation marks when searching for a specific term, otherwise it returns all pages with the word digital or payments in it.

At first glance it looks like a great domain, and I'm sure it has some value on that alone, but after considering that it has hardly any OVT and absolutely no commercial brandability I still can't agree that it's worth xx,xxx. Or, we can say it's worth that, but that no company will pay that much for it, because it offers nothing in the way of brand or identity. And in the end, it's value is determined by what someone will pay for it it.

Actually i did use the quatation marks when doing the search:

And even though it's not a popular keyword... it is a high end $ type of business. Therefor it has serious end user potential.

Great potential for a business or starting business in this type of industry that would like to portrait themself in a professional manor with this domain.

It perfectly describes the niche business and is exactly on target.

I agree the keywords are not main consumer related keywords but nevertheless that doesn't in this case implies it is not desirable.
Regarding identity? It is perfect for creating a identity since it perfectly describes the niche type of business.

OVT scores are not the only indicator to value a domain. You should definately considder what type of end users come into play.
And the domain having a top SERP is of course very interesting and it has great potential to keep that position due to the domain itself.

Any business looking for information about Digital Payments will find this domain on top therefor creating great possibility to attract new business. Thus creating more revenue solely on the SERP.

Countless businesses are striving for a top position to create more revenue and in a constant technoligy wise developing environment and with a strong competition this domain gives a real strong edge to the new owner that would hold a type of business in the digital payments industry.

This domain definately has the potential to create extra revenue for a business that is based upon delivering services or products regarding Digital Payments.

Based on that the domain is worth more then a XXX amount.
If this explanation could not convince you of the true potential value i really don't know what is.
And you really should question yourself why it is you don't want to acknowledge this domain is worth more then a XXX amount based on the domain and it's current SERP position and potential to keep this SERP position or anyways stay in top rankings.

Would it be because

A: You still don't understand it?
B: You don't like to be wrong? and you will keep defending your position no matter what?

 

[Kate]

Damion, while I agree with some of your arguments, the thread starter was asking for an appraisal on the domain only
I know nothing about his business, although it seems obvious the venture behind the name is worth more than just the .com domain
You are right, I could have checked the site but I am only looking at the inner value of the name anyway, well that's my approach :gl:

 

[Damion]

I understand sdsinc. Even from that point of view it's still inaccurate since a XXX is far to undervalued.
Even though when the content changes because of a new owner SERPS would fluctuate for a little while but with the right attention it will hold top position and pay for itself eventually.

As i have said before in other posts i find it very hard to put a price tag on a domain but in this case i see the potential for a similar type business and having the upperhand when it comes to Google searches and attracting that type of business.

From a personal point of view i would pay gladly $10.000 for instance if i know this would mean top SERP placement in Google if i would own a business where i could easily recoup that money with only a few clients or maybe even one.
Which is very plausible for that type of business.

And then OVT scores Alexa ratings...being able to apply for a trademark don't mean anything to me. If i know i can attract more business this way i would go for it.

There are tons of businesses out there if they would have a top SERP placement it would mean instant increase in revenue.

In the end that is all what counts for a business owner.
Costs and Benefits....

I have no problem admitting I'm wrong, but don't misunderstand me, because I never said I was right. I'm merely offering my opinion and appraisal to the thread starter who requested a value for the domain name. I still stick by my original reasons for my belief that the .com isnt worth xx,xxx. Could I be wrong? Sure. I've seen crappy domains sell for almost that much and I've seen great domains go for next to nothing. Its a crazy business.

I think it's a moot point regardless, because I don't think he owns digitalpayments.com, because he then asked about digitalpayments.us and they both have completely different whois info.

 

[fleshas]

i think low xx,xxx ..

 

[Damion]

I think it's a moot point regardless, because I don't think he owns digitalpayments.com, because he then asked about digitalpayments.us and they both have completely different whois info.

You could be right there! That whois (the .us ext) does match with the whois of his domains in his signature.
And the .com belonging to a U.K. entity.

Oh well, it was a nice discussion

 

[Peter_Rosado]

Digitalpayments.com is a good domain name, but in my opinion, high $xxx - low $x,xxx

 

[neopolus]

Gents,

Thanks to all that replied, Indeed I asked about the .com, to see the rank in popularity and the impact that it may generate in situations like these ( Other peoples point of view and pricing valuation), I do NOT own the .com , I do indeed own the .us

Perhaps the topic took a drastic turn along the way, but I appreciate all the comments and somehow the imput placed on the forum, but the question remains, since it is a divided opinion in the value of the .com .. how much you think is the .us .. valued at ?

Again, thanks to all that have replied the thread ...

Read the forum rules, you're not allowed to ask for appraisals of domains you do not own. If you want digitalpayments.us appraised, then just come right out and say it.
