Define valuable. Is “a 2-3 letter .com with an egregious use-case history” more valuable than “a hand-registered 22-character domain name with prospects”? To be clear, this isn’t a question of which TLD is really “king”. It’s a matter of how investor morals, values and principles are factored into determining domain value; and thus how appraisals are given.
Granted, there are many investors who view TLD and traffic/sales data as the “sole” factors in determining a domain’s value. However, there are likely investors who wouldn’t add particular domains to their portfolio regardless of what character-count and traffic data they may have. For these investors, “overriding morals for a prospective profit isn’t an option”.
Needless to say, every domain investor has their own philosophy and strategy. Some are more reserved about their disclosure of either; while others look to indoctrinate new, and existing, investors. These investors double-down on their belief that certain domains are worthless; leaving those seeking a seasoned perspective to question their own approach.
As the world continues to evolve, the standards within the domain investing world should as well. There seems to be more focus on the “numbers”; and not too many open discussions about whether there’s a class of morals, values and principles pegged to each domain. Some may feel “it’s just about domains and money”. Others would say it’s more to it.
We’re curious to know what YOU (the person) think. Please share below.
