Value Ratios for Domain Extensions

[zenmushin]

I am sure this has been discussed before, but I am not sure where to find it.

This will be all opinion-based, but what do you think are appropriate ratios for the popular domain extensions. For example, a .mobi compared to a .com? It is probably safe to set .com as the standard, aka 100%, and have the other values based on .com. Sure, many factors are involved, but if one had to come up with a blanket value for popular domain extensions, how would you list it?

The below is just an example:

.com 100% (1.000)
.net 10% (0.010)
.org 5% (0.050)
.mobi 5% (0.050)
.fm 2% (0.020)
... etc.

I'm not sure about the other extensions, but I think the generally accepted rule of thumb for .net is 10% of the .com. Not saying if I agree or not, just saying what I heard.

Interesting. I think it might be interesting to take the feedback from you and others to see if we can came up with a schematic. So, based on your feedback, for example, a .cc would get into the less than 1%. Agree?

10% for .NET is the standard, however it can be higher depending on the keywords. If the term is a strong generic, with Word Tracker in can sell for much higher than 10%.

.ORG can be from 5% to 25%+. It just depends how appropriate the extension fits it.

.com-.net averges more like 3-4% for keyword names, for 3 letter acronymn etc the ratio is higher. 10% is a bit of a domainer wives tale.

examples,

gasprices.com $225,000
gasprices.net $4000

sex.com $12-14M
sex.net $454,500

chinese.com $1,120,008
chinese.net (big exception) $180,000

porn.com $9.5million
porn.net $400,000

.org to .com it is more like 2-3%. For .mobi, .info etc it is fractions of 1%.
