I'm offering a exact match keyword domain that receives approximately 250 unique visitors per month of type in traffic, appraised at $17,000, for $2500

I don't get much result.

Am I missing something?

How much money is it generating? And how are you marketing to your target buyers?

[IAW]

It is pointed to for sale page.

I listed it in Buy and Sell section.

The issue is the appraisal is going to mean nothing without something to back that up. Who appraised it for that amount and why? If you can show that the domain actually makes $XXX by promoting ABC product, somebody might be interested in buying that, particularly somebody that actually sells ABC product or has a product similar to ABC within their wheelhouse.

To your listing, not everybody reads that section and the target buyer likely doesn't either. If your domain is selling ABC product at $XXX a month (see above,) you can contact companies that sell ABC product or something like ABC product to see if they are interested in purchasing the domain.

Estibot appraisal based on the popularity of the keyword.

I'm divesting out of adult which is why I'm selling.

[Furf]

Why not just post the domain?
The Buy and Sell didn't provide the domain either.

If you are worried about Google just mask it or something.

The domain is TeacherPorn.com

Reminds me of: https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-b...e-website.html . . .

The appraisal is worthless imho. 250 uniques per month is pretty low traffic.

How much income does it produce?

How old is it?

Edited in: i just saw that you posted the name. Not sure what i would think just the domain would be worth right off hand.

Like I said, the appraisal is pretty much worthless. I just plugged one of my domains into estibot and it says it is worth less than $100.

That particular domain produces a steady $2000/month income and has for several years now. It also receives several hundred uniques/day.

I understand that it is a keyword domain and in the right hands it might produce income but there is no guarantee with any domain as to what it will do in reality.

The "appraisal" is meaningless and the site has no traffic.

Your for sale post is terrible though. No one is going to email you to find out what your stupid domain is called.

TeacherPorn.com is a decent domain, definitely not worth over $500 though.

[IAW]

The domain attracts around 250 unique visitors a month.

That really isn't very much traffic.

Plus its a great niche domain.

I owned it for a few years, made no money with it and now decided to sell it.

So, if it is such a great niche keyword with such wonderful traffic, how come you never developed it?

You are in here trying to bullshit us. Stop while you are ahead.

fuzebox was pretty accurate when he said it isn't worth over $500 imho. If you can get someone to pay higher than that well, good for you but you aren't going to get $2500 for it from anybody that knows anything about domains unless it really fits into somebody's marketing plan perfectly.

Well, apparently you have been divesting out of adult for the past 4 years or so.

I don't get much result.

Am I missing something?

On what planet? Sorry for the skepticism, but in 2000, I had domains bringing 6-10,000 unique visitors per day. And today, not.

The main search, I mean marketing, engine today has completely redefined how traffic is mapped and "earned" (more so bought).

The average web surfer will enter a domain name into the "search bar" as a matter of routine practice, and the marketing engine of choice will direct the surfer to destinations it has decided are best (for the company) - even obfuscating or burying the SE result link to the actual domain entered.

This means that domain names are no guarantee of traffic for those key words, unless the user is smart enough to enter them in the address bar of the browser, and/or bookmark the destination.

These days, a reasonable measure of value of a domain is based on revenues consistently generated, BUT there is always a risk that a sloppy transfer of the domain/website asset might make the marketing engines go hmmm... and reassess how much traffic will continue going there.

That's why domain registrars offering "domain push" may be advantageous where changing owners does not set off too many "under new management" flags.

In theory, any domain can earn domain authority, even for keywords that have nothing to do with the domain.

It's possible, but it's certainly not a democratic process.

Something to consider...

You have less than 10 uniques per day and hoping to sell for $2500?

at least 150 of those are bots and crawlers.

My bad, I shouldn't have asked you to post your domain.

That is fewer than 10 search engine bots per day, and bots is what it will be, not type ins. Honestly didn't even think it was possible to have a site which such low traffic, since bots will always knock it up. I've hand registered $2 names under weird extensions that have more hits. Anything less than 100 uniques per day is zero traffic.

appraised at $17,000, for $2500

Your name has been registered for 20 years and been unused/for sale for that entire time. Nobody is interested in it.

It isn't worth $2500 or $500, it's worth nothing, unless you're developing a site with "teacher porn", in which case it's maybe worth up to $99, and in 20 years nobody has bothered doing so.

Redirect your 8 bots per day to an affiliate program with some teacher/student content and you'll know for sure its worth (though you've almost certainly tried that, and already know).

If someone offers anything for it, even $1, take it, because it's better than another loss on renewal.

(I'm saying all this knowing you won't listen to anything anyone says, because nobody who asks for advice ever does.)

Estibot appraisal based on the popularity of the keyword.

Nobody takes Estibot seriously.

Here are just a few opinions from a domain name forum, where the question of Estibot's accuracy comes up all the time:

"First Rule of domaining: Never use Estibot"
"Estibot is useless. Their appraisal have no value in real market."
"If Esibot was reliable we would all be millionaires"
"Second rule of domaining - NEVER USE ESTIBOT!"
"An Estibot appraisal (just like those from Sedo, GoDaddy, etc.) are as worthwhile as looking at the entrails of a dead goat!"
"On second thoughts perhaps looking at the entrails is more appropriate and accurate."
"All appraisals are unreliable."
"Estibot has never been, will never be accurate."
"It breaks my heart when I have people reach out to sell me names, talking about how valuable their names are because some automated tool told them so."

Alternatively (what you use it for):

"You can use it to motivate potential buyers by showing it to them :D"
Or
"When you are feeling bad about your investment. You can look at estibot $$$ to elevate your mood :D"

You sold it within 4 minutes of asking for an appraisal? I'm impressed. Very nice of the new owner to continue loading your website on it.

[IAW]

Out of 6 I had for sale, only AdultGalleries.com is still unsold.

[IAW]

This domain has been sold.

[Colmike9]

^If you can sell them so well, why did you get fooled by a domain appraisal tool and think it was worth 17k?..

[IAW]

why not, I'm not good at selling

Sorry about that, I was confused by assuming "the second one" did not refer to "this one" and that this name which has definitely sold has the same for sale page up.
