Domain Appraisal Evaluation

Before spending money on a domain appraisal find out if your domain name has the attributes of a very valuable aftermarket domain.

Take this little domain evaluation to see if your domain name could be valuable:

Domain Value Pre-Test
1. Does your domain end in .com?
2. Does your domain contain less than 5 letters?
3. Does your domain apply to a high paying market? (like cell phones)
4. Is your domain a .net or .org of a popular .com?
5. Is your domain a popular phrase?

If you can answer yes to any or all of these questions, it would be a great idea to get your domain name appraised and try to sell your domain name for profit.

Marketing a Domain

There are various methods of putting your domain name up for sale. Decide whether you would like to sell your domain by owner or share a percentage of the profit by listing a domain name with a third party. For a complete list of ideas for marketing your domain name, read on.

“Domain Name for Sale” marketing methods include:

• Keep current and accurate contact information at your registrar so a potential buyer may find you through a domain "Whois Lookup"



• Place a domain for sale sign on an existing web site, with your contact information.



• Create a “For Sale” page at the domain's URL. This way if someone types the domain name in their browser instead of an error message a page will appear letting the potential buyer know the name is for sale. (You can do this free with registration at GoDaddy )



• Or your can list it with a 3rd Party, like AfterNIC. This will give you ultimate exposure to qualified buyers, but you will have to share a bit of the profits.
