What would you pay for?

What would you pay for a one dictionary word domain (extension .co.uk), receiving between 400 and 500 unique visitors a month from type-in traffic only?

 

[Idees]

Depends on the revenue

 

[domainer50]

Im with Idees. Although if it was a nice keyword domain, or at least the type of name that I could take and develop into a mini site, id say it would be semi valuable.

 

[samnoyoun]

Apparently, revenue is $750 a year from parking (at least according to the seller).

Personally, I can't see how that's possible with this kind of traffic...

If its a high paying keyword, he might be getting good paying clicks, so its possible. Have you seen screen shots? Is the seller from NP, if not where is he from? Did you verify ownership of the name, and lastly if you dont mind me asking, what is the name?

 

[samnoyoun]

I have seen screen shots of traffic statistics.
The seller is not from NP, I saw the site listed for sale on sedo, and contacted the seller via his parked page.
I did verify ownership of the name, yes... but I'd rather not say what the name is...

I only asked, to see if the keywords in the name would make it pay out those types of numbers. Tough to say really, but any developments occur, please let us know.

 

[Pichichi]

which is that word? is it possible to know?

Depends on the word, anything from £100 to £100,000

 

[shockie]

looks like ~$4/click with 100% ctr.....

we can still make a better appraisal without explicitly giving out the name. what niche is the word in?

 

[samnoyoun]

I didn't want to give the name, as I think it is against forum rules to ask for appraisal of domains you don't own...
But, well, the domain is a martial art... like kungfu.co.uk , only not this one

 

[shockie]

i've never heard of the martial arts category consistently making $4 per click... how many months of stats did s/he provide with you?

(and it's ok because this thread is not in the appraisal forum.)

Was thinking the same thing Shock. Seems pretty odd to me.

The type in traffic volume and annual revenue are reasonable for a commercially appealing keyword.

450 unique visitors per month x 12 months = 5400 unique visitors per year

assume 30% click rate: 5400 x 0.3 = 1620 clicks per year

assume $0.47 per click: 1620 x $0.47 = $761 revenue per year

That's great... makes a lot of sense...
Isn't it amazing though you can probably get better click rates and revenue from type-in traffic by parking a domain, rather than by developping it!

I wanted to develop that domain, but -based on previous experiences- there's no way I can get anywhere near these figures on adsense!

Oh, he gave me 12 months statistics by the way, but just traffic... no click rate or revenue...

 

[ecalc]

Two ways to evaluate the name before purchase:

1) Arrange a traffic test (temporary nameserver change).
2) Analyze google adwords keyword search and bid numbers. The analysis is more meaningful if you have other keyword.sametld names in your portfolio to relate the adwords prediction with known performance.

? If you were to not develop the domain, if you bought it. You would be crazy. Developing it will surely increase your income, if done correctly. You will get full SEO benefits with a keyword name like that. :imho: You would be wrong if you did not develop the name if and when you purchased it.

kungfu.co.uk is probably worth in the region of £20,000 IMHO.

You're probably only saying so cause you own it
