closed www.anything.com : How do you value a domain? Let`s talk about it...

[italiandragon]

Note to the Admins: I`m sorry , I don`t have an idea where to write this topic since my aim is to discuss how domains are appraised so I thought this section was the most appropriate. Please , if I`m wrong...accept my apologies.

-----------------------------

How a domain is appraised? What do we look in the first istance? The catchy name? The extension? The lenght ? The links ? The Pagerank ? The Overture ? WHAT ?

It`s an evolving and booming industry where everything can happen and if one month we think that hypenated names worth zero, than the month after we realize how wrong we were.
3 letters .anything are dissapearing........I wonder how long the 4 letters .com will last ?

Sometimes I read the sales on Afternic, on Sedo , then I look my portfolio of names and I think : what`s wrong with my names ?

Where a newbie should start?

Ok, we all missed sex.com, but now, April 2006 what can we do: what do you look at? Is Overture results the first thing you look at ?

Come on, people share your opinions and help some newbies to move the first steps in this wild market.

Cheers

You might consider IDNs, before it's too late.

Thank you, I will look it this week-end.

Hi , yes I do consider them, but can`t find anything there as well.
Plus, I think it`s the same for IDN names.....do you value a domain only for its name? I don`t think so...
