Ok,
I'm asking this question for all the noobies out there including myself. I got into domaining about a month ago and have been slowing accumulating my portfolio of domains. So far, I got one lucky domain that has 1500+ typeins per month. I say I'm lucky cause I haven't hit that type of traffic for the rest of my domains...and I've been buying quite alot. In the last month, I now have around 1000+ domains.
My question is, how come so many weird domains are being sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I see the list of dnjournal of names like
hotproperty.com $120,000
18-wheeler.com $82,390
ultimateguitar.com $101,676
wifelover.com $100,930
and I say to myself, I've got names like that... so what is seperating these domains to get so high a value? Is there one common denominator that one should look in order to say that, "Yes, this domain is worth at least 100K".
I had thought that alot had to do with the Overture search results...but I was confused in a recent purchase that I made that had 2 MIL Overture search result. I thought I had hit paydirt because if 2,000,000 people use this search result every month on Yahoo alone, then my domain would be worth at least 100,000. But it turns out that it is only worth around $3000.
So what am I and all the rest of the noobies out there missing? How come we can't get any of these 100K deals?
Many thanks for everyone joining this post discussion.
