Why should
I undertake an appraisal of my website?
| It
isn't easy to determine the true value of a domain name.
Everyone has heard of domain names selling for millions of dollars.
However, many domain names cannot be sold for $20. Just
look at eBay and Yahoo domain name auctions to see for yourself.
What makes one name valuable and another essentially worthless?
Just looking at the name and guessing will not help. Just
because a name sounds good or looks good doesn't mean it is
valuable. We have extensively studied domain name sales
to derive an accurate, fair and dependable model of domain name
sales values. |

What
do I get when I purchase the appraisal software?
| When
you purchase the appraisal software, you get an EXPERT evaluation of
the domain name. The software will consider aspects of the domain
name to derive a value for the domain. This method is known as
the "hedonic" method. This differs from the typically "ad hoc"
methods used by other services. Our method relies on hard data on
domain name sales over the past several months.
In
addition we supply some additional tools to help you prescribe
the value of your domains.

How
does the domain appraisal software assess domain names?
Most
other services consider only a limited number of characteristics of a domain
name. We have our own proprietary statistical model
that considers a number of characterizes of a domain name to estimate
its value. The model considers the
following features:
- length
of domain name
- size
of the market related to the domain name
- probability
that the domain name will be properly spelled by customers
- potential
of the domain name to be associated to site content
- the
extension of the domain name (e.g. .com, .net, .org)
- breadth
of the domain name's applicability
- Use
of hyphens in the domain name
In
addition you should also consider the revenue and
profitability of a website when your undertaking a valuation
and you should also consider the relative popularity of the
website.
- You
can check the relative popularity of a website by visiting
sites such as Alexa (full-list supplied in email with
purchase).
- You
can undertake a simple valuation of the relative value of
a website by using a NPV model
