:: About Us ::

If we decide to be your domain name broker and take your listing we will negotiate the listing fees starting at 25% of whatever the domain sells for or we may choose other negotiated alternatives and thus all domain brokerage and commission fees may vary.  After we determine an appraised value and discuss with you the applicable fees associated with listing it on the marketplace website we come up with we may choose to list it here. We tell you your responsibility for the fees if listed in this particular marketplace. Our experience in this will help the whole process be easy for you to understand and trust. If other considerations are negotiated the listing fee can go up or down. We can lease your domain name to other companies and act on your behalf when negotiating these types of licensing arrangements.

::DotComFinders.com domains are treated like commodities and the right domain makes all the difference.

Our Appraisal Model

Our professional valuation is based on domain or web site performance in the categories, specified below. We can help you decide on the value of the domain name and then sell accordingly.

• Dot. Value

• Name Length

• Linguistic Value

• Commercial Appeal

• Brand Recognition

• Marketability

• Development Value

• E-Commerce Suitability

• Developed Website

1. Dot. Value The domain name market gives far greater valuations to Dot.com’s than Dot.net’s, Dot.org’s and any other of several major extensions.

2. Name Length Short and sweet is generally best.  Single, recognizable words are considered better than multiple words but some colloquialisms work well also.

3. Linguistic Value Plain English words, spelled correctly, including slang, make more sense to people. They are the most valuable. Names like cars4u.com have a second-class aura about them and are more difficult for people to read and recognize.

4. Commercial Appeal Who is the owner most likely to sell the domain name to should the owner end his or her use of it? This makes a great difference in the value. For instance, a name suitable for a physician but not for a medical organization will most likely be sold to a small business (i.e., a doctors' practice). Doctors can't afford to spend millions on a domain name. On the other hand, a domain like cars.com might sell to a substantial corporation. There are plenty of large corporations associated with the auto industry that can afford to pay millions for a domain name.

5. Brand Recognition Is the name affiliated with any other product or industry or has it already been advertised and was it an actual brand. Did the name get any press? All of this plus can it be a new brand? Does it have that ability as domain names go or product names can be: catchy, easy to remember and make a statement as to what it may be representing without saying it such as American Express, VISA, MasterCard, New Balance, Google or Yahoo.

6. Marketability The number of people on the Web (in the world) who are potential customers for the website that the name promotes is a significant component of domain name value. For instance, the domain names that rate higher (assuming they don't violate a trademark), are current branded products sold third party online such as: amazon, priceline, auto-trader etc.

7. Development Potential A domain name that's relevant to what's being sold is more valuable, because it's self-explanatory. For instance, we suspect that if we see a website with the domain name dietbooks.com, we will expect it to have something to do with books on various weight-loss schemes.

8. E-Commerce Suitability The name is important not only in brand awareness but enticing ecommerce users to use your name for transactions that require trusted information, personal communication and high expectations. The functionality of the name vs. the business model must be carefully chosen.

9. Developed Website Websites that are receiving traffic have better value than those without traffic. Websites with good revenue (over $2000) are much more expensive.
