hi, io recently bought ONLINETOURNAMENT.CO.UK and was wondering how much people though this was worth;
  • as a domain name only
  • as a domain and design
  • developed into a tornament site


Thanks in advance.

It's sort of a long domain name.

Aaron,

Questions in regards to domain branding and thoughts of a price point come up regularly around the internet, and answers can widely range based on assumptions, opinions, and lack of specific knowledge.

In your current situation, it appears that you have not developed anything with it yet, and it would be very hard to come up with an opinionated answer, as branding and pricing can relate to various aspects.

There are tools available that analyze your domain marketability, but I would suggest that you incorporate it into a working system, so you can base fundamental interest and traffic rating on a more pinpointed result.

Does the domain currently get any traffic? It will be worth more, when developed but how price depends on how developed.

is it not possible to get a estimate on how much just a domain would be? someone else could develop this into a online gaming tournament..etc I know it would be worth alot more fully developed, but i was just wondering if people thought the domain was good, and if its worth anything realy.

Aaron,

If you are looking for a rough estimate, only based on the domain itself, I would imagine it would only go for stock price or a little more.

In terms of it being "good" or having any worth, I honestly do not see potential value in it. The implied niche is definitely saturated, and the characteristics of that domain would make it hard to brand. "Online" and "Tournament" would be widely used keywords, so pinpointing direct traffic to that domain will be quite difficult. The length of it is quite a hassle to work with.

Online tournaments would be much better. Its amazing what one character could make to the difference in value.

i think the answer your looking for is; has the domain got potential ? yes it has, you need to develop it and get a good organic flow of traffic.

Sounds good, and I'm assuming it's searched for pretty often.

I'd pay 4 figures for it if I had that sort of money to not only afford it, but to also develop a site of massive scale.

^^ thats what i figured, Il be the first to admit that i dont know much about domain names, but when i seen that it was avaliable i was supprised, and quickly bought it thinking it would be a quick sale at arround mid ***

I will probably design a website, but not get it coded. as that will eat into potentiol proffits (for myself [not being able to code]) thanks bryan. and everyone.
