Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Four. Exactly.
Well, I should be glad somebody thinks that it’s worth something..
LeapFish.com has a ‘Doman Name Value’ tool that estimates how valuable your domain name is. Out of curiosity, I checked out the priceless “t3sk3y.com” domain, and got the following analysis:
Combined Value Score: 44
Top Level Domain Score: 10
Unwanted Characters Score: 8
Dictionary Word Score: 3
Length Score: 12
Archive.org Score: 1
Google Search Results: 7
Yahoo Search Results: 0
MSN Search Results: 5
Search Engine Score: 10
Estimated Base Value: $132.00
Estimated Actual Value: $2,904.00
Hm. Apparently it really doesn’t like the 3′s in the name (apparently they aren’t 1337 enough!) and Yahoo! doesn’t like me either. Yahoo – guess what – nobody likes you either.
As a comparison, I checked some of the domains owned by colleagues:
- 28thavenue.net: $11,354 (for some reason, LeapFish likes bicycle confessions better than bedhead or pinball)
- andersonfam.org: $14,406 (nice job, anderiv!)
- jayber.org: $19,154 (yay, Benski!)
Hm. Well – every parent thinks their baby is beautiful – and strangers can admit that some babies really are ugly. I think LinkFish just told me that my baby isn’t winning any beauty contests – by the domain name, at least.
