The Value Of A Domain Name

What is the value of your domain name or the value of a domain name you would like to purchase?

A domain name is worth exactly what a buyer is willing to pay for it. You could have a very attractive domain name but if you have no potential buyer, then there is no value.

There are some domain names do have value and some have significant value based on certain conditions.

1. Is the domain name a ".com" name? ( .com is usually more value then others)
2. How Long or short is the domain name? ( Short is good)
3. Is the domain name attached to a site? (Page rank is a major component)
4. Is the domain name spelled correctly? ( Not good)
5. Does the domain name have a prefixe or suffix? ( Usually not good)
6. How many words are in the domain name? (less words is better)

Before purchasing a domain name check archive.org to see if the domain was previously developed. (If there is a history it could bring the value up)

With the above guideline you can at least get some idea of the value of a domain name whether purchasing or selling.

The site I use as a guide not as actual facts:
https://www.certifiedofferservice.com/CertifiedOffer/offer/makeoffer.do?dom=YourDOMAINHERE.com

1. Click on above link
2. Replace "YourDOMAINHERE.com" (in the address bar) with your own domain name (without the
http://www/)
3. Don't make an offer just answer the question "Does YOURDOMAINHERE.COM include the name of a product or service?"
4. Open drop down box and select "No or Don't Know"
5. Your domain name evaluation can be used as a guide for sales or purchases.


FYI: The shorter the domain name the better.

Infopreneurs Helpful Hints

The absolute very first thing you need to decide, if you want to go into an online business, and what kind of business do you want. Yes I know, you want one that makes money...well if that is the case then lets check to see what is in demand.

There are a few ways we can do this.
1. Check Google Trends
http://www.google.com/trends
This will give us the popularity of the product or topic in the different countries'

2. Check here
http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/ or http://www.freewordtrackertool.com/
to determine which word/phrases are searched most often daily. This is called the "Demand"
(How many people searching for that topic or product)

3. Check with
http://www.google.com/ (type in the address bar your product or topic)
This will show how many Web Sites are using that keyword or phrase. This is called the "Suppy" (How many people supply that topic or product) In other words this is your competition.

If the demand is high and the supply is low (this is good)
If the demand is high and the supply is high ( The competition may be to great for a beginner)
If the demand is low and the supply is high (This is not Good)

There is a formula that some use to help them determine the value of the keyword. "KEI" ( Keyword Effectiveness Index).
Example:
The demand for the word or topic "secondlife" is 616 searches a day or 18,480 per month.
The supply for "secondlife" is 7,610,000
The(demand) 18,480 divided by 7,610,000 the (supply) = .0024 Anything above .oo1 is relatively good.


This little tip is extremely important.
Always put a keyword in the title. Example: "Infopreneurs Helpful Hints."
If you type that in the Google Search it will come up on page one fourth or fifth one down.

Tip: When ever you are referring someone to another page through a link, make sure that link opens in a new window so your visitor when done viewing that page has not lost your site. To have a link open in a new window add this:
<a href="TheLinkDomainName.html" target="_blank"
>Link Name</a>
