Demystifying Statistical Approach to Domain Name Appraisals

By Alex Tajirian CEO at DomainMart

Professional domain name appraisals have acquired a dubious reputation, and I understand the rational skepticism regarding their usefulness. In my recent paper, “Statistical Domain Name Appraisal: Same as What You’re Doing, +/-,” I try to demystify the statistical approach by pointing out its commonality with methods intuitively adopted by active domainers. It will also underscore some of the sources of skepticism toward various appraisal methodologies, and point out the advantages and limitations of statistical models. The paper concludes with a list of the conditions that can make a professional appraisal value adding, and with a plea for transparency.
