A site that offers Instant Domain Appraisal Engine

Would like to get your opinion on this tool I found at this site http://www.urlbuyers.com/valuation.cfm?
Thanks

Have I done this correctly. I tried a valuation of my domain
anyurl.com

urlbuyers said $20,000-$30,000

mudfence said

I prefer urlbuyers

I've used the tool above. Its lacking a few important features...like search ranking for one. It has a few things I'll probably include in the next release.

"urlbuyers said $20,000-$30,000"

Was that before or after they asked for money?

Even with an MR of 5.0 it still comes out:
Domain Name: anyurl.com
Key Words: any url

High Retail: $8,500
Low Retail: $6,375
Wholesale: $1,913

BTW I've added new vars to the new tool. Its contains a dictionary and a few other complexities.

I think anyurl got appraised here at $10

Does this mean I should sell it then, I was going to use it for my non-adult names list.

Mudfence - if you promise not to tell anyone, I can let you have it for $1,500.

I tried www.horny-bitch.com on your valuation prog.

I like mudfence's in this case.

Hey mud, that is a nice online tool! It would be great if it would fetch the google and ovt results automatically too.

There's something seriously wrong with a tool which values anyurl at 4 figures. It was also well over the top with tar (amazingly the online valuation was about right).

I agree with it 100%; look at what it says about:

Domain Name: broadband.com
Key Words: broadband
Dictionary Words: 0
Total Word Score:
Extension relevance: yes
Google Hits: 5,090,000
Overture Hits: 65,296

Low Retail: $2,250

It'd seem as if the tool is deeply flawed...

It's a great tool, maybe just needs a few tweaks in the growing process. Every machine appraisal will always need the over-riding of human intelligence to add the "human knowledge" factor.

Encourage the guy!

I agree with you Mr Web. There are always going to be some quirky names www.femfem.com for example. And what would it do with something like broadsband.com. I think it's a handy tool to give a feel for most names. Quirky or special interest names will always depend on the sales ability of the owner.
