you still have ignored my question. how are you even coming close to concluding it's the most accurate? Anyone can cherry pick a few examples. Estibot sucks. Yours sucks. The whole notion of an automated appraisal based on metrics if fundamentally flawed. Sorry.
Its accurate because I have said it, market prices comparisons. Do you have a counter example to show another appraisal does a more accurate work?> Give counter example? Software? keywords? No examples? see mine in the above posts. Didn't you see the examples? of comparison between your favorite appraisal my my domain name appraisals? No (didn't read either?)
my new results Domain Name hahaha.info is appraised to be $210.73 USD Domain Name funbox.info is appraised to be $97.79 USD Domain searchtorrent.info is appraised to be worthless Domain cookbooksrecipes.com is appraised to be worthless Domain Name sprc.info is appraised to be $55.31 USD Would be great if someone will offer $97.79 for funbox.info lol
thanks for using the script. did you know that cookbooksrecipes and hahaha has less than 170 searches per month? ~4 searches per day. Most of the domain value lies in words, short words, and extensions. everything else is harder to measure...the more detail it is the harder it gets. let me know your comparisons with other appraisal services with specific names and prices. try different extensions too. thanks alot.
No appraisal does anywhere near well, yours is no exception. From my own research numbers like google results and alexa ranking don't correlate very well at all with sales prices. The only statistical determinant that really correlates well is ACTUAL traffic and estimators of it (alexa sucks at that, overture was the best, I imagine compete would do fairly well). Examples==cherry picking. Try running a large list and see how it does against perhaps an auction list. See if you really fare any better than estibot, multiple appraisal competitions have been held like this.
Who said Google's searches are not important? Google owns over 90% of internet searches in America and over 60% worldwide. It is very relevant because users type in the keywords everyday. Therefore its worth assigning value to, unlike other domain name appraisal, they take "google results" instead of "google searches". Which is far less accurate. Alexa has its benefits like it ranks from almost every country and has much more users than Compete does. Isn't overture, overturned by Yahoo? Compete only measures traffic to US and only measures mostly dot com, therefore how can that even compete with Alexa? Most accurate, and free domain name appraisals on the Web! ITS.Asia/domainappraisal. You can contradict the statement above by posting another more accurate domain name appraisal? with names and metrics to support where they get their numbers from. Try your best. I am waiting for counter examples with your favorite and most accurate domain name appraisal script out there.
I haven't seen anything impressive coming out of your service either. I can claim to be king of the garbage dump, nobody gives a damn. Google Search Volume doesn't equate to inherently to value. Are you using broad or exact matching? a tiny bit of insurance traffic worth far more than warez, sure you have some broad categories but this isn't really that useful, each domain name is unique. Overture is owned by Yahoo now, but it's search database was public for a long time and for anyone who has been in this business for a while knows about it and knows how invaluable a tool it was (the databases are still floating about and access to them, for decent sums of money). Alexa hasn't been a serious way of measuring traffic in years, it's so skewed and ridiculous that unless you're in the top 100k it's really not worth that much, and you don't need an appraisal if you're in that zone. That isn't measuring domain value, that is developed value, it skews highly towards developed sites. Which goes against your whole notion of domain valuation. Sorry, this and all automated appraisal services fail.
For accuracy, why would anyone want to recommend "overture" for keyword searches? Its outdate, doens't hold as large of market share as google, therefore its not that reliable in terms of "accuracy". sorry, I have to say that your bringing about outdated models doesn't work. Some appraisal services doesn't even appraise anything beyond the dot com, net, info, and org area. Its 2009, not 1999, and some hosting services haven't even change their configuration to host other extensions. Same thing with the automatic appraisal scripts out there. For up to date, Google is a big factor, as everyone knows.
I just saw on another thread in NP about domain name ticket.com which is about to go on live auction with geodomain 2009 auction by moniker. ITS.Asia appraisal of : Ticket.com -a word -45,000,000 searches/month -rank 466,000 in alexa -economy recovering -name is rare/exciting ITS.Asia Appraisal price: $1,526,629.35 Estibot estimated price: $480,000 DomainAppraisalpro estimated price: between $380,000 to $1,100,1000 USD They give a range. Date of auction April 25, 2009. Let's wait and see which price is more closer to market price
Obviously you're new to the business and don't know the power it had and still has, but it's ok. Evaluating historical sales without understanding the basis for valuation... that's funny. Someday you'll learn
