.org.uk vs .co.uk ?

[doodlebug]

Just been playing around on Estibot, now i know you can't quite take their estimates as solid valuations but i am concerned that if you take for example collecting.co.uk is coming up at a value of only reg fee but collecting.org.uk is coming up at $2000.

Also like people.co.uk is coming up at $360 now people.org.uk is coming up at a staggering $180,000 (180k) Erm

Am i missing something or is Estibot just way out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Estibot is like the proverbial motor bike ash tray!!!

Estibot worked out on of my top domains which hits thousands of uniques a day, and million+ of page views each month at about $50-60 I can't remember what it was exactlly.

About as accurate as USAF's bombing. Friendly Fire eh.

Thought it would be a load of cr*p !
I guess the only way for a true appraisal is to pay good money for one :?:

I dont know if paying for one is worth while, yes maybe it could help with a sale, not something I have ever done. Has anyone here? Did it ever make a difference to a buyer??

It may make you feel that someone else believes in your product, but one appraisal today could be different in a week/month!

Hi Doodle bug

Although Estibot is not perfect it does have its uses, I find their keyword parser excellent when needing to strip domains down to there keywords

I think the problem you have experienced lies with a bug in the single appraisals section where it cannot distinguish between .org and .org.uk

I ran them through the bulk appraisal and this was what came up


Domain......................Appraisal
people.co.uk...............$120,000
people.org.uk..............$80
people.org..................$180,000
collecting.co.uk...........$1,700
collecting.org.uk......... $0
collecting.org..............$2,500

It's so confusing
Maybe work out the values yourself using DNJournal etc.
Thanks for the replies.
I think all popular one word generic .org.uks' can hit xxx at least.

Any automated system dealing with objective data will be highly subjective - and for the most part highly inaccurate...
Plus I don't think they know enough about the .uk market to plug-in figures that reflect the value of our domains!
