TravelVegas dot-com - Possibly the best Vegas dot-com available in the aftermarket

Hi everyone,

TravelVegas (,) c om receives a decent number of traffic, although it could receive more unique US visitors per month because it has been going to the Network Solutions error (dead page) page for the past few years.. But before the NSI registrar placeholder page, it was receiving much higher numbers from what I've gathered.

Furthermore, this is a post from someone who saw the high search results for the term years ago.. The person registered the hyphen because of the high search numbers for "Travel Vegas" .

Staff Edit: No links to other domain forums.

Also of note, TravelNevada (.) com is the OFFICIAL SITE OF THE NEVADA COMMISSION ON TOURISM. Ditto for TravelAlaska (.)com which is Alaska's official State Travel Industry Association website.. Both wbsites receive tens of thousands of unique visitors per month according to compete..

There are many more, the same goes for TravelTexas (.)com for Texas,-- TravelNewJersey (.) com leads to the state of New Jersey's travel commission site, TravelVirginia (.) com for Virginia , TravelPennsylvania. -com for PA , TravelKansas (.) com for Kansas, etc etc..... And TravelNY (.) com is Travel New York etc.

So as I see it, I think there is great GREAT potential for TravelVegas (.) c om , with Vegas being the #1 leisure travel destination in the United States... A Gazzilion amount of people go to Vegas every year...

Travel2Vegas (.) com for instance (which has the number 2 in between the 2 words) , is a website that receives 5000 to 15000 unique visitors per month over the past 12 months according to compete.

What value would you place on TravelVegas (.) c om ?

Thanks in advance.

Travel domain names do very well, primarily because of the value in their traffic. Vegas is obviously one of the most popular vacation travel destinations as well. The fact that this one gets type-in traffic is a huge plus. There are also great sales with vegas as the keyword:

Vegas.mobi - 20k
LasVegasRestaurants.com - $15,500
LasVegasLife.com - $16,000

With these comps - which I think are fair, your looking at the 15-20k range to an end-user, or if the name were to drop I could see prices in this range as well.

Quality domain. Congrats

Justin

Just based on a little research here is my 2 cents.

Traffic will eventually dictate the real value. But based on what we know is for sure:

Estibot:

Domain: travelvegas.com
Keywords (User-Defined) travel vegas
Frequency (Google) 95600
in Anchor Text 322000
in Title 266000
in URL 73900
Backlinks 0
PageRank 0
Alexa Rank 8622505 **
Traffic (Visits / Day) some**
PPC Ads # 65
Max PPC Bid $1.34
MAX PPC Income/day $0.87
Overture/mo 11344
Wordtracker/day 11
http://EstiBot.com
Valuation for domain name only : USD 9,400


Travel great Keyword
Vegas great destination / keyword

88000 Google results "TravelVegas" lots of sponsored links (this is good) OVT is good

Alexa rank really doesnt matter in this case cause no site there yet. But all things considered generating traffic to this name shouldn't be a problem.


I own a few Vegas names not as good but i give this domain:

Developed: 7-9k after a few months with little traffic Vegas is a huge key
Name only: 2,500 - 4,000 for the right reseller.
End User: how do you say? "sky's the limit"

lol keep in mind these are prices I would pay for the domain.

Just my 2 cents. It's really in the development i think. But the name has real value.

I believe according to forum rules you are only allowed to ask for appraisals for domains you own. And based on what you have stated in your post, this is not a domain that you own. I might be wrong, but I have seen many threads closed for this reason.

Frag, we do own this name. Feel free to contact me by phone via whois.

xxx to reseller or less.

It has a lot lower Wordtracker and PPC Bids than I would have thought.
Still it is a great domain for an end user.

No disrespect, but blow estibot, google and everything else on this name, It is a tier one, premuim dot com.

I agree with Spade on this domain

15 to 20K

I agree estibot valuation is worthless...... only used for newbies in the industry at best..... many unreg domains show up as being worth several hundred dollars on estibot... I don't think this person owns this domain, as it looks to be with the same owner since 98, and for good reason. Vegas is a hot travel spot, that works with anyone on any budget, and there are only so many key domains and this one could easily payback its sale price in one year, if setup right.

ok guys I only use Estibot as a tool to grab info. As we all know the value of a domain is "only as much as someone is willing to pay". As you can see my Valuation different then the actual Estibot numbers.

I think Estibot is good tool. And should be used as such, not to determine what your final price should be on a domain. but in all fairness the Numbers are are often quite close.

i.e. I sold PayForLinks.com on Sedo last year for $500 and estibot claims it at $510. not bad for an algorithm.

but my previous statement still stands.

Yes we do own this domain.. Feel free to call me at the number in whois.. Or email. Either way I will respond..

Just for kicks, would you like me to put your user name "OnlineDomains 00" in the first and last name subject line in whois for a few moments? I will throw "Fragger" in there too as he doubted us owning this name in this thread as well. Call me at the 416 number listed in whois.... If you want to waste your long distance fees

BTW, thanks Spade for those numbers regarding some of the other sales. And I didn't know you were the founder of name-bio before I saw you in this thread.. That is a great resource you developed there. Nice job !

Estibot is a very cool valuator. But it is not the tool to use for every domain name.

Rock bottom wholesale to a reseller would be in the 7K range, and that would be giving the name away, Imo

This domain carries extremely high end user value.

I could make a lot of money if i had the name. I defiantly would not sell it. at least not for a few years, It is a money maker.

I agree, development is the right approach here I think. Once developed and bringing in loads of traffic the value of the name/site can explode IMO.. There are just so many attractions, Hotels and things to do in Vegas. Not to mention the casino/gambling possibilities..

If Travel2Vegas, com can bring in the traffic listed in the following link-

http://siteanalytics.compete.com/travel2vegas.com/?metric=uv

Then I think there is absolutely no reason why TravelVegas, c om can't do as well, or even alot better than those numbers.. And when you consider that compete is well known for having very conservative numbers then you know the traffic is even higher than that. (as it is for TravelVegas, com too).. Keep in mind that the name was never optimized or SEO'd.

 

[Acquisition]

Another thing to consider (and something I forgot to mention) .. Besides the recent sales, Vegas, com is leasing LasVegas, com on a 100 year lease .

I don't think I have ever seen anyone pay so much for such a long time for a domain such as that scenario there.

 

[Ross]

As i had lived in Vegas for years and know how much of an attraction it is to everyone in the WORLD. I will have to say 10K-20K EASILY. I have to agree with .X. that the wholesale would be around 7k(what i would pay )

I think development on this domain would bring you way more money than if you just sold it. You could easily make $1k a month if you developed it in the right way. Then stick with that for a while and build it up. Then you could sell the whole thing for 5x more than what the domain is worth by itself.

Whoever ends up with this great name in the end will be very happy and more than likely get a deal of a lifetime.

 

[Acquisition]

Interesting stuff Tivo. I take the words of people who have lived there more seriously. thanks.

 

[Acquisition]

I am curious why the two people who took priviledge in this thread to say I don't own the name haven't called me yet.. But instead decided to post in this thread before PM'ing me, emailing me via whois, or calling me..

That's kinda Weird.

 

[FusionSpy]

That's a superb name. I personally would develop this one cause with minimum input you could get 2 or maybe 3 times than now. For now I think 10-15k$.

 

[thomase]

When I saw the title I imagined a big figure like the $xx,xxx range...you always see domains like this on TV advertising places so it wouldn't surprise me if someone would pay big!

Yes thanks. That is a good point. I have seen many very similar TravelDESTINATION .com's advertised on television as well.
