$1940 worth of domains for $32.50

I’ve bought 4 domains now in the past couple of days - all keyword .com’s. They have a combined value of $1940 according to estibot.

I got all 4 for a combined total of $32.15. In fact, i got two of those domains for BELOW my usual registration fee of $6.

I got one for $4.25, the other for $5.50 Now that’s what i call working clever… i didn’t think i could buy better domains for any less than reg fee, but now i know you can if you’re lucky

So now the question is - how accurate is estibot? Lets be extremely pessimistic here and say the real value of a domain is 1/20th of what estibot predicts - it still means the domains are valued at $97 - 3 times MORE than what i paid for them

In my own experience, estibot is pretty accurate with it’s predictions for small-medium sized sites and domains. For larger sites, it’s slightly skewed because it can’t paint an accurate picture of traffic or RSS readers etc… plus it doesn’t factor in current revenue.

But all of my new domains have been valued on keyword frequency in search engines… what that means is the domains i have are pretty popular, common search terms. So they’re very strong keyword domains and being dot com’s, they’re not gonna lose any value whilst i have them

I have one or two more ‘big buys’ lined up this week - domains valued at close to $1k. One of them has over 230m results in google I doubt i’ll be so lucky as to get all of them on a shoestring budget, but who knows… most i’ve paid so far for a domain has been $16.25 and that domain was valued at $910

All i need to do now is build up sites around these domains then flip them based on unique design, simple functionality and with a real focus on the value of the domain name.
