How Figure Out the Value Of a Domain

InfoGuy · 2010-09-23, 05:28 AM

Search engine algorithms have gotten much better in the last 5 years. Google, Yahoo and Bing have no problem parsing domains without hyphens.

A domain like fuckntube dot com is worthless without spending time, money and effort on branding, development and promotion. Let it expire and move on.

Don't waste your money on paid appraisals. You can get quality appraisals from experienced domainers for free at some of the domain forums.

anything and everything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I know this sounds trite, but just get into one of those auctions that allow you to pull back if you don't get what you want. Just don't expect a lot. If you get a grand for a typical site just following typical rules on the sale you should be happy, so if you are making more than that you should keep it around just for traffic which is probably worth a lot more if you work it right.
