I like to know from experts how to find a domain is worth or not . What are the factors or scale to find a particular name is worth this much ..
I like to know few points to check the worthiness of domain.
I have bunch of domain names which are expiring and i am not sure whether to renew or not ..
Forget about Estibot and other automated appraisal scripts. They are good for details (pagerank etc), but that's it.
It's impossible to appraise a domain name, as it's price depends on too many factors (e.g. the buyer), but there are a few keywords you should consider to get an approximate value:
- Search engine results for the exact keyword
- Search popularity for the exact keyword
- The extension (.com, .net, .org etc. In some cases a .org would suit better than a .com, but in most cases not)
- Previous comparable sales (look up dnsaleprice, namebio, Sedo, DNJournal, forums etc.)
- Market spectrum, how big is the niche, how many potential "end-user" do your domain have?
- Pagerank, Alexa rank, does your domain have any traffic
If your domain has traffic;
- traffic quality (is it type-in traffic, search engine traffic from an expired website etc.)
- does the traffic convert? can you monetize the traffic?
- will the traffic be consistent 1 year from now? 2 years?
You should also take into consideration if your domain is a typo or a registered trademark term which will increase the risk of UDRP/WIPO/C&D, hence decrease the value of the domain.
I hope you found some useful information there. Good luck!
