High link popularity domain name (740+ links)

[O.C.]

Background information before appraising!


Netizen.org

• Right now the domain points to a non-profit called Responsible Netizen Institute. I'm capproaching them to replace/add-to their ResponsibleNetizen.org addy.
  
• Link popularity is high because of the domain name's previous owners (not because of the current forwarding situation):
  MSN shows 737 links.
  Altavista shows 491 links.
  All-important Google shows 710 links.
  
• Obviously the ".org" devalues it a lot. It's still a great value for the "netizen" non-profit already using a .org, no?
  
• Some crazy kook owned Netizen.org in the 90's according to Archive.org
  
• Crazy Kook let it expire. Bids were several hundred dollars at NameWinner when it was dropping (I got it w/ a SnapBack because I was interested in starting a business named "Netizen")
  
• Edited: Term "netizen" searched 130 times at Overture.
  
• Thank you!
  
• I'm accepting offers for it: tatu@bellsouth.net

Edit:
The stats results are in (just started, look for Sunday's stats):
http://extremetracking.com/open?login=netizend

51 uniques on a slow Sunday. So an estimated 20,000 unique visitors over a year.

At 1 cent a vistor they're worth $200. At 3 cents a visitor using a product like AllClicks.com, they're worth $600. If you sell a product you make $10 profit on, and .8% of visitors buy from you... then the domain is worth $1600.


These links to the site are very permanent. Remember that the domain name has been dead for years and 737 true links still exist... they aren't going any where now.

Any one interested? I'm letting it go for a reasonable offer: tatu@bellsouth.net


I could also make money forwarding the domain name to an products at Amazon I would make commission off of.... like:
-You Are Being Lied To
-Everything You Know Is Wrong

any idea on the number of unique visitors per day?

the ov count is zero for the actual domain, the 131 is for the term so any value seems pretty much derived from the links and traffic they generate.

[O.C.]

That's what I meant to say. Changed now.


No figures for unique visitors per day but I could easily get one by forwarding the domain name to a stats page. Worth it / should I?

Given the most likely buyer will be someone after the traffic for revenue conversion, I would think stats could be a good negotiating point.

[O.C.]

Done. Netizen.org now forwards to a page w/ a stats button on it.

But I just put up the stats now, so they are going to lag a day or two. Available at http://extremetracking.com/open?login=netizend




Really I'm not that interested in making a million dollars off this name. I'm wondering what I should ask the ResponsibleNetizen people or alternatively if any of you want to buy it.

Now we all will inflate the stats by visiting to look at the stats.

Since this is Domain Appraisals forum, I will appraise the domain at aprox $100-200.

It's a cool word that I don't hear much anymore. The .org is not terrible, since the term means "Net Citizen", it could find an appropriate use.

agree with safe, the value of these domains is in the traffic they are generating. Will be interesteing to watch the stats.

[O.C.]

Okay, the stats to look for are the ones for 08 Sep, Sun, 2002. We won't know for sure until midnight tonight eastern time.

Meanwhile, we can avoid going there all together for true stats. Do not go to Netizen.org, just go to http://extremetracking.com/open?login=netizend


Thanks all

it's a good name. $1500, if you can find someone who want to use it. $250 if you're selling to name reseller.

[O.C.]

Please appraise!
