Anyone care to comment on the accuracy of domtastic.co.uk?

I've put in fairly conservative answers and it's valued trespassing.co.uk at £11.5K, I'd have thought that this is quite a high value for the name (of course I'd be happy to consider an offer of this much )

Is this a fair valuation?

Are there other on-line tools to help with valuation?

I believe Julian has a 'match the valuation' offer and will buy any name at 20% under the valuation his tool provides as he is very confident

*ducks*

Must have missed that link

julian

firstly lets be clear - this tool was designed by a tool

seriously though, I banged it in and it came out with £500/£750 which is imho much nearer.

You probably over valued it on some criteria (as most do)

This is a screen shot of the crieteria that made it come out @ £500

We do not condone cyber squatting and the abusive registration of company/website names please try another name.

That's more like it, still can't find the 'match the valuation' offer Rob mentioned

Seriously though...

when do you class a domain name as memorable / unforgettable? If I heard it on the radio as suggested, I'd be able to remember it with no problem (even with my memory) which would class it as unforgettable, you've put it as quite memorable, I think I put it as memorable.

When does Intent move from OK to dictionary word? Trespassing is in my dictionary.

The tools is nice to play with (and I guess you harvest useful data from it ), but it would be good if there was some clear guidance as to which values were considered most appropiate.

I would say the valuation is way over what you could realistically expect to sell the domain for. IMO "Trespassing" is not a valuable commercial market online so the domain isn't that valuable either.

No tool will do as good a job as you improving your own valuation skills, use these to improve them:
- domainprices.co.uk to get a feel for the market and what other domains went for.
- Google search traffic data and other volume data you can obtain.
- Earnings per click data for related keywords, from Google AdWords or similar services.

I don't want to take anything away from the effort put into these tools, but I think there are lots of factors that a machine couldn't easily account for anyway. The tools might be useful to give you a very vague ballpark, but that would be all IMO.

I'm aware the domain is not worth a huge amount, it was caught whilst testing a code tweak rather than as a targetted catch.

My question was more about tools for valuation and how to drive these for the average man in the street rather than exectation of an automated tool to give as good a valuation as a seasoned domainer.
