Do you feel that this alone increases the value significantly?
No. Not by itself.
Simply having a website does not mean success by any measure.
Now you are asking a second question. I guess the answer to this question would be if it is a "successful" website it would increase value. Significantly? Depends on the amount or the measure of success. Success? Traffic, sales, viewership...all can be measures of success.
Look at letters ceuq.com. What the hell does that name or letters mean? Nothing. No value whatsoever. Not even worth reg fee, imo.
Now actually go to ceuq.com. A domain name developed into a niche site. Launched in June 2005 seeing 105K+ users in 6 months, 355K+ users (not traffic) in 2006, re-designed and re-launnched January 2, 2007, already over 40,000 users for January 2007.
Success has come from word of mouth from one collegue to another, one hospital to another, state societies, etc. Getting ready to do national direct mail and email campaign. Now is the time to take one form of success (number of users) and turn it into another form of success (monetary from sales of advertising space to hospitals and medical supply sponsors).
I am not self promoting this site on your thread. But I thought it was safest to use this as an example of what "developed" means. You can take any name or acronym and with proper treatment and development, I think it can be a success.
Now my worthless domain name may be worth a hair over reg fee since it has been "developed" and I think based on the numbers I would consider it a "success".:clap2:
