How many by a show of hands feel qualified to value domain names in here?

How many have bought AND SOLD over say, 500 names at market?

Lets not confuse reality with dreams. Unless you have business.com or a NYSE ticker symbol, or unless it enjoys a high search engine position, and therefore traffic, it probably isn't worth the $5.99 you paid to register it.

The valkue is almost always based solely on the revenue sector keyword traffic ( i.e. casino- very good, dog shampoo- very bad).

Simply put, a dog shampoo domain name that average 10,000 uniques/day is probably not worth on the open market as much as a casino domain name that produces 1,000 uniques/day.

UNIQUE TRAFFIC IS ALL THAT MATTERS 99% of the time!

This means that all of the wellitsprettygood.net and i-almost-got-a-mortgage.com names on the planet are not worth your $5.99 unless they produce UNIQUES!!!

That being said, thousands of links on ATW or MSN ( although MSN linking is actually better than Yahoo), mean nothing if those links do not produce traffic.

I have seen domains that have less than 500 links produce huge targeted traffic ( have a look at http://wwwFabDir.com) at over 30,000 pageviews/day, while names I have purchased ( before there were domain traders per se) that had over 50,000 links produced a fraction of that.

SO.... the ONLY names that matter are the ones that produce traffic, and they are normally ones that are well positioned in the serach engines.

Incidentally, everything I have ever read to date on SE position has been hogwash.

In fact, all of the seimnars on SE positioning by "experts" has been even bigger hogwash.

Even bigger hogwash yet, is the software that purports to be able to position on SEs.

Truth is, it is very simple, and takes almost no work at all, but has NOTHING to do with the domain name, the meta tags, or hidden keywords.

Have a look at the chart on the most recent site we have built traffic for HERE

This is only a fabric site, but now enjoys over 30,000 PAGEVIEWS day ( not hits, which are completely meaningless)

Ask us how to beat the search engines. We'll tell you.
Rest assured I guarantee no software will do it (yet), no meta tag will, and domains littered with dashes and keywords won't either.

We know how they work through 4 years of trial and error.

One more point... it doesn't matter how often the algorythm changes, this will stay in top listings.

Very simple.

A lot of us Joe... some of us do this as supplemental income, and have been doing it for years...

I have nothing to sell you.
How about over 5,000?
And how long exactly?

If there is experience here, and I have no doubt that there is, why are there so many buying by bad guidelines?

I only intended to offer help. If you are doing well, and have no need for concepts, ideas, opinions or ideas, why are you here?

"Category: Arts > Crafts > Textiles"

Thats why it comes up first for a search of fabric directory.

JoePro, expect a PM in a little bit. I'll listen to what you have to say and see.


Note: According to the stats you posted, FabDir doesn't get 30,000 pageviews per day. 5-10k a day is still nice.



About appraising... a lot of it is common sense. I don't need to sell 5000 linked domain names on eBay for $15/ea to be qualified to appraise most domain names here. :)


99% of the names posted here can be answered by saying:

"It's worth the reg price. If you get a buyer then take whatever offer you get or post again. Don't renew the name next time."

Domains listed as "Sites" will always place ahead of domains listed as "Pages". Hence the desire to obtain Yahoo listed "Web Sites". This is well documented in the forum for anyone taking the time to read it for free.

Time to move this thread to advertising.

When I use Yahoo, I tend to jump right to the "Web Pages" section.

Sounded like a bit of an advert, unless you are gonna tell us for free?

Search "fabric" in yahoo.
You will start with 202 "website" matches.

I would like to hear a response from
someone who bothered to "ask the
specialists".

Wonder what he's trying to sell.
