Value of a .net, .org vs .com

[ngconcepts]

For simplicity purpose, lets say a .com is valued at 100%.
What percentage of that would you value a .net, .org, etc...?

For me, I give a .net 35% the value of a .com and a .org about .10%.

don't get caught-up in that trap of percentage values down the line

imo...

This is an US-centric approach. In UK uk.co trumps .com.
In Russia .net & .ru trump .com.
In Germany .de ...

I know that there is more to this than to just look at the percentages but in general, what would you say a .net and .org is worth in comparison to its. com counterpart? If you disagree that you shouldn't even look at that, what criteria do you or would you use? Thanks.

Really, in Russia a .net trumps a .com? That is news to me.

there are many occassions where the com is parked and the .org or .net maybe developed websites....so what is percent value of .com?


the most popular poker/gambling websites, use .net, ..... so what is percent value of .com in relation

if you took all those, plus all other tlds/cctlds that exist in similar scenerios....they could outweight instances where .com is king




criteria for me = "each" domain and the idea or biz model attached or potential of, etc., should be valued on it's own merits



if you have a .net or .org and only ask a buyer to pay you 35% or 10% of what the .com sold for.... then you're just lowballing yourself


imo...

I agree with what you say. Each domain and idea or biz model should be valued on it's own merits... However, there is no way to figure out a "real" value to that because different people will value a business idea (thus domain name) differently. I was trying to figure out a decent formula based on searches, CPC, Extension and a few other factors in determining a ball park figure of what a domain name should be worth. With respect to a one word domain, few characters or future speculation, the formula would be way off...because the real value wouldn't be quantified in that formula.

what you're really wanting, is an easy way (formula) to apply to a given situation


it doesn't work like that with domains

Yeah, I was putting together a formula to apply to the value of domains....instead of just guessing out of thin air on what the value is. What I have come up with so far seems to be working for the most part... apart from the obvious domains that can't be quantified due to speculation, etc...

Oh yes,
In China .cn trumps .com

 

[000]

Broad brush 3 to 5%

Top Tier

DNJournal 2010 top ten median
net/org $51K, com $929K, ratio 5.5%

DNJournal 2009 top ten median
net/org $42K, com $1513K, ratio 2.8%

recent (2010) direct comp:
[dating] org $23K, com $1750K, ratio 1.3%

Low End

Keyword net/orgs with meaningful search volume sit unregistered, default market value $X. It's not hard to argue $XXX min for the com versions, yielding a single digit ratio at best. Available nets seem to outnumber available orgs in this market segment.

Most of the Chinese domainers prefer .com as CCNIC (Chinese registry) has proven to be unpredictable in "taking" names without explanation. CCNIC's latest ban on .cn registrations thru most registrars is another strange business move. Now they are undergoing a "verificationt" of .cn ownership per latest email from dynadot. Bottom line is you can have your domain name taken from you at anytime by CCNIC with zero compensation.

.ru trumps everything in Russia. period. Websites built on .net and .com are hardly used. With development and aliasing to idn.idn idn.com and idn.net will probably do well in the long run for top Russian keywords.

There is a good amount of traffic to idn.com, most coming from the Opera browser which is the most widely used in Russia. Be interested to hear if anyone else likes .net in Russia better than .com...certainly NO ONE especially the locals register the idn.net before the idn.com.

.com --100%

.net --5%

.org --10%

 

[ngconcepts]

.com --100%

.net --5%

.org --10%

.org more than .net? Don't know about that.
