Blog Tips to Help You Make Money Blogging - ProBlogger: Domain Name Appraisal: Best Free Services

What is the best free domain name appraisal service? Probably Estibot. They also give you cost per click of your keywords that are in the domain and their search engine traffic, the historical whois of the domain name including when it was first registered, the likely niche or niches for this domain name, the prices that similar domain names have sold for recently, and of course the estimated value. Of course if you're thinking of flipping the domain name this and most appraisals will usually be inflated, but it is still useful for evaluation. This is a great service, but you can only use it once a day for free. After that you must pay for it, but you may find that worthwhile. Valuate is also very good. They are powered by Estibot, so they will give you the exact same domain name appraisal value that Estibot will. They give you far less additional information than Estibot, but you can use their service three times a day for free. A third free domain name appraisal service I have used at times is Go Daddy. At Go Daddy's website click on "Products" then "Auctions" then "Domain Name Appraisals." They give you a range of values your domain might be worth, also usually very inflated. One advantage of using this service is that it's completely free for unlimited use and you can submit as many as 20 domain names at a time. This service will give you an appraisal value but no other information. There are many other free domain name appraisal services out there, but these three are by far the best.
