 | View Full Version : What is a number one ranking on Yahoo worth? Techark 09-15-2002, 08:27 AM What do you figure a domain name ranked number one on Yahoo for US resort city name would be worth? Type the city name in Yahoo and it is listed number one for web sites. DotComster 09-15-2002, 04:26 PM For "host" or "hosting" the domain would be would be worth 10K min. If the city you mean is Las'Vegas - then $1,000 min - it all depends. I personally think Yahoo is over ratted ;) Techark 09-15-2002, 11:59 PM If you had LasVegas.com and was number one on Yahoo I think it would be worth at least 50K. nameslave 09-16-2002, 07:47 AM From my own experience, Yahoo listing does boost your traffic A LOT. However, you may need to keep 2 things in mind: 1. Their Search Results page could display not just Web Site Matches but also Category and Sponsor Matches which come BEFORE it. 2. And if all 3 are missing, their Web Page Matches (now powered by Google) are quite dynamic. In other words, you may be #1 today but drop to #4 tomorrow. Just my two cents. Techark 09-16-2002, 07:58 AM True but I am also listed tops in their catagory listing for travel sites to this city. ninji 09-17-2002, 04:51 AM Randomnessness04 Actually "lasvegas.com" is an extremly valuable domain name. Many casino's might possibly be intrested, vegas located or online based it would still be an incredible advertisment op. for either, and they have the big bucks to buy the name around from eachother... -Dan nameslave 09-17-2002, 04:55 AM They are NOT actually talking about lasvegas.com here, ninji :-) Just an example. ninji 09-23-2002, 04:17 PM lol im well aware they arnt talking about las vegas, but I was giving an example of how much traffic and how valuable city domain names really are. thinkaholic 09-23-2002, 06:06 PM It all depends on the domain name and the category. You could be the only site listed in a category, but if it gets zero traffic, it's still not worth much. Are you planning to develop it or just resell it? I've grabbed many domain names in Yahoo. I suggest putting, at least, a web page on it soon or else Yahoo may drop it. They have an internal spider that will drop your domain after a certain number of times. It won't do it the first time, but after 3 or 4, see ya! Can you tell us what the name is? Gurudev 09-23-2002, 10:31 PM For "host" or "hosting" the domain would be would be worth 10K min. I may be wrong, but I think those days (10K) are long gone. |
