    Phones.net - How much could it be worth ?

    How much could our Phones.net be worth ?
    But still better: anyone know a good affiliate program to earn easy money with it ?
    Yes, low traffic but we could easily advertise it ;-)

    No secret, a collaborator registered it for me ... but, how remains a mystery for me too ;-)
    I admit, I paid an high but reasonable price for it.

    It's a great domain - but can you also ask your "collaborator" to get you the dot com to.

    I heard the owner of its DotCom is asking for 2M

    So now you can understand why he'll never sell it ;-)

    Thanks to everybody for your appraisals and opinions.

    Quantitative valuation for phones.net

    Phones.com has an alexa ranking of 637,000.

    Using a fairly accurate chart I've contributed to at

    http://www.sillyjokes.co.uk/alexa/index.php

    that turns into about 50/day uniques, or 1500/month.

    All of that has to be direct typein, which usually converts very well. If I put a decent affiliate program on there, (especially cell phones) I could probably make about $30/sale, which would come to about $16K/year just off the traffic and using a single aff pgm with an "average" CR.

    If, on the other hand, a cell phone company used it, where they could get $ from recurring fees, that number would jump at least 10 fold. So phones.com is worth $32K to $320K depending on who buys it.

    Knowing this, I can say phones.net is worth $3.2K to 32K, depending on who your buyer is.

    disclaimers: yes, I know Alexa is not the best ranking system, as it distorts the highs & lows and tends to squish everyone in the middle. Yes, I know, the typeins for .net are less than 10% of .com's. But it's better than pulling the numbers out of thin air.

    Very well thought out and researched. Good job!

    Ah, how I do miss the early pioneer methods of evaluting domain names!!

    btw: Phones.net would be one helluva a name if you branded it as is: "Phones.net" ---as in in the "net".

    compared with "Phones.com" which sounds like Pets.com. Another failed dot com.

    Granted the Phones.com name is worth more than Phones.net as is, but from a branding perspective, "Phones.net" has some room to move up...unlike other "net" domains.

    My advice is to wait to sell this name when the next tech boom hits. (buy low - sell high)
