How accurate are automated domain appraisals ??

[Anthony Ng]

I just fed domainappraisal.pro into their own domain appraisal system -

domainappraisal.pro is valued between $7 & $22

Hmmmmm......

But THAT would be quite "accurate", right?

[randomo]

Right now, there's a domain in the TDNAM $5 bin that has an Estibot value of $9,000. But I am resisting the urge to buy it. On the other hand, I just did buy one there that has an Estibot value of $90. So: use these stats for what they are, but don't base purchasing decisions solely on the value figures!

I baught this domain for 15$.
15$ is between $7 and $22.
Moreover "Domain appraisal" is not searched very much + .pro are still not very valuable.
So, on this is one, i would say yes domainappraisal.pro naked domain is valued between $7 & $22.
Please not it was still not registered 3 weeks ago.

That is good use Randomo. Domain appraisal is an information. When it come domaine find a market prices, I like to get several source of information.

For example, i would a thought, at first, that domainappraisal.com is worth much more that surgicalinstrument.com gathering and crossing sources of informations made me understand why not.

what is the reg. fee for .pro's?

[hakita]

what is the reg. fee for .pro's?

Gandi sell .pro for 13€

[dominator]

Gandi sell .pro for 13€

so how much is $7 minus €13 ?

negative value?

and $22 minus €13 ?

I do not understand you point,
Domain appraisal is not about registration fees.
In other word, registration fees are not taken into account.

To make it more simple for an easier understanding, if a automatic appraisal give you a result close to registration fees, it , most of time, means the domain does not have direct potential value associated to search volume.
In that particular case, the same domain with .com would have been appraised higher, because .com are easier to sell and more popular that .pro
I hope that make it more clear to you dominator

Domain appraisal is not about registration fees.

of course, if the value of the domain is $10,000, then who cares about the fees
but in your case:

if you paid €13 and the value of the domain (according to your tool) is $7
then it has a negative value

and my point is that you should use your tool to find a domain that has a positive value

otherwise how could anybody trust this tool?

[hakita]

Sure - you go ahead and use this tool to run an appraisal on an entire drop list... and by doing that you'll certainly be left with a very trimmed down list to work with.

And you'll also filter off aol.com, dnforum.com, etc...

What would you prefer to do - do a little more legwork or save some time and completely miss quality domains?

Hey, kengreenwood, speak honestly, how much time does it takes you to appraise 30 000 domaine name ?
1 minutes ? 1 hours ? If you can appraise 30 000 domain manually in less than a few minutes, what a Man ! you sure do not need appraisal tool, cause you are half a god.

Have a test with that list and let us know :

Moreover, registring aol.com, dnforum.com have potential cybersquatting issue. My tool will not help you for that. that's a my choice.

It says between $7 and $22, not just 7$
Moreover, i did not bought this dn for its value.
I fact, it would have been appraised 0$, i would still have bought it for a good reason that can not be appraised: i like .pro
