So I've created a new appraisal tool @ www.domainvaluations.com

[leelovell]

Hi,

I'm new so I hope this is a good place to list my latest development.

Thought I'd see what people though about a new tool I've created.
It's very very early days and I've called it an alpha when it may actually be in the earlier stages.
I've put it public (to those who know the link) just to get some feedback and ideas on how to improve it.
There are many key important pieces of information missing at the moment that I'm aware of. Some
I've listed below:

- Whois lookup / Registration check - currently doesn't differentiate between registered and available.
- Wider range of extensions supported
- Non-English domains (Uses an english dictionary at present)
- Greater than 5 word phrase support (Got tired of copy / pasting)

I'm in the process of locating various APIs to link to in order to get a better more accurate valuation.

In the meantime take a look and be gentle

Thanks for reading.

Lee
 
HTTP://WWW.DOMAINVALUATIONS.COM is the URL

If it would work as well as any others, then it would be fine, however I did 2 random tests

The valuation given for AMISH.COM at this time is £1,944
Based on the following recipe plus some currently unlisted features - more sauce coming soon:

Extension: com

TLD Multiplier: 600

Alpha + Numeric Multiplier: 1.5

Alpha Multiplier: 1

Numeric Multiplier: 1

Symbol Multiplier: 1

Length Multiplier: 3

Search Engine Magic: 1.0001

Single Dictionary Word: False

Dictionary Bonus Amount:64.80648

Best word count found: 2

Possible words or phrases matched

Best dictionary matches: AM ISH

Amish IS a 1 word name, and is the name of a religion as well as a name in India. I highly doubt that Amish.com would be available for under a few 100K.

Just tested

FU*K.com = 549
Love.com = 12,982

something is not right!

Thanks - just looked at the 176k dictionary and it's not a word in there - It was one of the limitations I listed.
Also just checked the links in 3 popular search engines and only a handful appear so although it may be worth the valuation the supporting info isn't there. Again if I can link into other dictionaries and APIs I'll retify this if possible. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks - I can see that these would gain value from Alexa rankings, search volumes and past sales etc ... so will hopefully again come from some useful APIs / publically available info. WIP - will take a crack at it.
 
Total oversight - I never thought of names. I've just found a link to census data which will give me another 95k names to include. Also city / state information.... this is bigger than i thought ... oh well worth a go.

Its definitely a hard task to tackle and I wish you luck.
