As you probably know, Estibot is currently working on EstiBot v.2. I decided to compare the appraisals of a few Indian domain names using Estibot v.1 and Estibot v.2.
I entered the top 10 reported Indian domain sales (using 'Bulk Appraisal' on v1, and 'Domain Name Appraiser' on v2). Here are the results:
Poker.in – v2: $8,800 (v1: $5,800)
Mails.in – v2: $25,000 (v1: $12,000)
Searching.in - v2: $1,900 (v1: $460)
Linkshare.in - v2: $720 (v1: $140)
Webcam.in - v2: $19,000 (v1: $11,000)
Defend.in - v2: $9,700 (v1: $4,800)
Tea.in - v2: $5,400 (v1: $13,000)
Leds.in - v2: $8,200 (v1: $4,100)
123.in – v2: $7,700 (v1: $4,200)
Hollywood.co.in – v2: $7,200 (v1: did not recognise this third level domain)
As you will see, the Indian domains do better under v.2. So the question is: have Estibot v2 appraisals been inflated, or does Estibot now recognise the value of Indian domains? I believe it's the latter because I also tested out some .com domains and my general observation was that, on Estibot v2, many domains are not being appraised as highly as before (which probably means v2 is more realistic!
).
Out of interest, I also tested the above-listed names with the .com extension. Here are the results:
Poker.com – v2: $2,300,000 (v1: $2,400,000)
Mails.com - v2: $1,200 (v1: $21,000)
Searching.com - v2: $87,000 (v1: $80,000)
Linkshare.com – v2: $37,000 (v1: $50,000)
Webcam.com - v2: $5,300,000 (v1: $850,000)
Defend.com - v2: $7,000 (v1: $42,000)
Tea.com - v2: $1,200,000 (v1: $730,000)
Leds.com - v2: $69,000 (v1: $110,000)
123.com – v2: $21,000 (v1: $66,000)
Hollywood.com – v2: $1,300,000 (v1: $380,000)
As v2 is still in beta, there's always the possibility that further changes will be made to the algorithm. I notice that on v2, Mails.in is worth more than Mails.com.
Obviously, we shouldn't rely solely on automated appraisals to assess the value of a domain name. We need to consider many other factors.
What are your observations about Estibot v2? Who has tested it out?
