Not sure if 'free' is cheap enough

Probably my sense of humor... that appraisal is using the best technology, including:

Daily Visits Estimation, Around COM Domains, In Title Web Pages, Monthly Searches Exact, Monthly Searches Broad, Influential Domains Daily Visits Estimate, Similar Domains Count

Do you think HolyLemon.co.uk is worth £2,183 ?

Obviously not 100% of the auto appraisal is 100% right, but we were a big hit at the recent DomainFest 2012.

Hi and welcome to Acorn, TM.

I am waiting for my domain appraisal via your tool, so it will be interesting.

You can't treat domain valuations as taking place in a vacuum.

Any value attributed to holylemon.com is because there used to be a site at that URL. And the popularity of that site had NOTHING to do with the words in the URL, but because it offered funny pictures, videos etc which people wanted to tell their friends about and come back to. So the previous owners of the website took a meaningless brand and created a bit of traction with it.

The problem with your tool is that there needs to be a human sitting behind it, accurately flipping a switch that says "This domain name is 1) 100% generic 2) brandable or 3) trading off an existing site" with a corresponding massive adjustment to the value returned for that domain name (I'd suggest an automatic $0 for domains in category 3)
