Anyone could do what is being suggested on this thread Whitebark, but here is where our opinions differ. I don,t think if I have owned a domain since 2002 and it has some xxxx/xxxxx value, that I would want to waste time, yours or mine, receiving offers from guys who regged a domain a year ago, saying, I will trade with you. Domains are a bit like wine, those that have aged have "potentially" more value. What I suggested, is a compromise, involving grouping. Where group A is "potentially", xxxx/xxxxx, regged 2000-2002, although if its a poor keyword, with little google search, then it still sucks, so it would fall under a different group. Group B xxx/xxxx regged 2002-2004, again, a domain in this catagory needs to have the rich keyword and google search to support its position. Group C xxx+ regged 2004-2006 and Group D xx/xxx 2006-2010 . Note, however, if a domain has decent traffic, then it has its own catagory, for a generic .CA, its lucky to see 30+ a month, some exception exist of course.
Before, anyone thinks this break down is harsh, consider, that none of this trade grouping applies to end users buying domains from you, prices are what you set and dream of getting, thats fair, but, for the most part .CA DNforum domainers are not END users, we are speculators, trading WHOLESALE. I am confident that some who are getting started in domains will resent this platform or if you hold mostly 2006 and up, but this is the way I see it and I doubt anyone holding aged domains would disagree, if you have an opinion, lets hear it, as I can,t recall a discussion as concise, regarding domain valuation like this one.
