Valuate.com values them at $150 total... A few comments if I may, both items such as plugin and templates are mostly free on the net. If you find a newbie that will pay, it is a one-time pop. I would find them time to develop them or find a partner and develop custom themes that allow for shopping, membership fees etc.
hello,
there are sites like
templatemonster.com which converts around 20k template sales of $65 to over $2000 per template each month.. so why dont people just get the free templates rather than buying from template monster.. plus there's sites like
tinyportal.net(for SMF) and
vbskinworks.com(the company which made the template design for
inforum.in) plus inforum also used the
VBSeo plugin which costs some bucks.. so why didnt Jeff use any free template and plugin instead when there are so many free and nulled ones available on the web? ask yourself these questions atleast once before you think that everybody uses free templates and plugins. there are things like customization in templates and plugins which makes every template and plugin different from others free ones available on the web. plus if all templates & plugins become free then owners of templatemonster and vbskinworks will be the first to be seen begging around in the streets.. dont you think?
and if you are the owner of a popular website which should be legal(not using nulled templates & plugins) & professional(not using free templates & plugins.. rather using a customized and paid one) and you expect to be running for 5 years atleast with support from developer of template or plugins in case anything goes wrong.. then you should go for customized templates and plugins.. not free ones
so there is still plenty of market and opportunities for designers of templates and plugins even in future.
as far as automated tools like
valuate.com are concerned.. they cant even estimate the real value of the domain itself.. as i have
free2hide.com getting over 22k+ hits per day(as per my adbrite.com a/c proves this) but
cubestat.com,
websiteoutlook.com,
statbrain.com etc shows that i get 200 to 300 hits per day.. so whom do you believe..? the "
Real Fact" or "
Automated Tools".. plus you can see Ceres's reply post over here
http://www.inforum.in/domain-appraisals/4847-urgent-appraisal-domain-im-planning-buy.html#post19041 which mentions how much value the domains with the word "
plugin" & "
plugins" have as the word "
plugins" also means "more things than just script plugins".. plus check
Google.com for keyword "
buy plugins" returns
11,900,000(11.9 Million) Results and "
template partner" returns
19,800,000(19.8 Million) Results... that will "
fail" your valuate.com estimations in a second as valuate.com stores only records of previous sales but not upcoming ones plus it doesnt understand that humans read "
buyplugins.com" as "
BUY" & "
PLUGINS" which is
two premium words and a phrase or say almost a sentence.. and
it is not a single word as the valuate.com tool thinks before giving errorneous and unintelligent output
so you can also tell me if you are a "
real human" who can read "
BUY" & "
PLUGINS" as
two words or you are "
an automated computer program" which thinks "
buyplugins" is
a single word.. before giving this appraisal
PS:No offence intended! Everything was based on "real facts".. and experiences in my entire IT Career!
