Hi DP, I wanna buy an expired domain name from godaddy. It has an alexa rating of ~200K , +2k visitors/day , age:5 years ,it's a 5 letter domain name and google pr is 0 i think. The problem is that i don't know how much should i bid for it , the auction ends in about 2 days. Do you guys know where can i estimate the value of this website or where can i find more informations about it? It's an adult videos website.
Are you buying it to sell it straight away or is it going to be part of a business where the cost is largely irrelevant? Lets say there was a domain I could buy for $50 but if I stuffed up the auction process and got outbid it might end up being $5000. Selling it straight away would probably result in a financial loss. Building a business on the domain might generate a million dollars in turnover and healthy profits. I can probably live with the inflated cost.
2K visitors doesn't mean anything, you should investigate the source of traffic using alexa and google infos if you are visited by 10,000 poor students from a remote location, there is very little you can do with this traffic. what is your plan in the first place, is the domain name a solid brand , what is the value of the domain name,check estibot and domainindex to have an estimate my 2 cents Hal
