In what order should the following determine a value of a domain name?

  • Google PR
  • Overture
  • length (number of chars)
  • Alexa Rank
  • language (EN/FR/RU/etc)
  • listed in DMOZ
  • Webarchive age
  • Technorati Rank
  • Delicious index
  • Google index
  • listed in Yahoo directory
  • Wikipedia (EN) results
  • Ask index
  • other possible means (please specify)

"other possible means"

to be specific, what the actual domain name is and whether others want that domain.

So, a domain name listed in DMOZ has no value to you at all?

dmoz has been going downhill for a while now and if you do a search of it here or on google you will see how the editors are bribing people etc.

maybe add
# backlinks
# searches a day @ overture/google/yahoo/msn for the keywords in the domain
Topic? is it currently hot (temp) or a general name that stays hot?
Age of the domain (when was it first registered)
Traffic (and from where does it comes searchengine/type-in?)

It depends on what do you want to do.

Traffic or PR = A Fast Sale.

Brand = A chance to make a good deal.

I always go for the traffic.

Good Luck.

Do you really think somebody would pay $XXXX...$XXXXXXX for a domain looks for existing traffic or PR? Nope, it doesn`t matter at all. Perhaps could matter for very small businesses who would pay $XX...$XXX. But just imagine you are going to buy for example money.com. Do you look at todays ranks? Good domain should be intuitive and easy to remember - it means potential for natural traffic and makes brandability easier. PR means Page Rank not domain rank - there is a big difference. Existing traffic can be poor because of nonexistent or weak page, lack of promotion activity etc etc.
