The most useful domain name evaluation tool on the internet today - Estibot!
If you are looking for a tool that really stands on its own when it comes to evaluating domain names - do yourself a favor and visit Estibot.
The developer has really put himself in the shoes of domain name searchers and built a package that captures many features of other tools, but does it all from one location. In recent months more features have been added and you can choose your level of participation based on membership level - including a free version.
I have use the free version as a reference point for many domain name purchases and/or research projects. Valuing domain names is a hard process to automate but the Estibot equation has been tweaked against domain sales (at least the publicly available sale information), and does a great job at getting close enough to be more than useful. I would not base purchases solely on the Estibot valuation, however it’s a great starting position to quickly weed out any absolute “dogs” (You know what I mean! Those names that you register or purchase after a bottle of wine or a dozen beers).
The keyword information is must have detail if you are serious about capitalizing on well structured keyword rich domain names. Finding good keyword dense domain names for registration fee is becoming so hard that you could waste literally days trying to sort through one niche in order to come up with an available “brand rich” name. Those days are gone if you subscribe to the Estibot pro level membership.
Anyway, I like the tool so much it deserved its own post. Read the estibot blog to get the whole story. Its a great read and inspiring in many ways.
Congratulations to the developer - may your success be equivalent to the many people you have helped.
