LeapFish offers a unique domain name appraisal service (in the likes that Godaddy requires a $4.95 fee) for free. The system uses what they call "CVS", Combined Value Score. This number is your final rating score based on several domain name factors. Complements to Luna for sharing this link.

We have gathered data on thousands of domain names that have sold recently [...] to create what we like to call the Value Multiplier. [...] An estimated value based on historical sales and current domain value.

What is my domain name worth?

"This question is asked by many, but very few get a solid answer. This is because domain names rely entirely on demand and therefore the only indication as to value is what somebody will pay for it. Here at LeapFish, we have created a rating system which is based on various factors and ratings you may find individually for a domain name. This system is called a CVS (Combined Value Score). The CVS is created by compiling a score derived from several different factors and running them through our formula to end up with a number. This is your score."

How do you determine a value?

"We have gathered data on thousands of domain names that have sold recently and how much they sold for in order to create what we like to call the Value Multiplier. This is a magic number you multiply by your CVS by to achieve an estimated value based on historical sales and current domain value. This estimated base value is generally used as a guideline in selecting a minimum sale value. The estimated actual value is directly derived from the base value and attempts to reflect actual potential. Some domain names do not have a high enough demand unable to meet this number, so please do not assume this value is absolute."

How accurate is the LeapFish analysis tool?

"Our system is unable to determine value of a domain name logistically which means that we are unable to accurately predict how people view a name and what it actually implies, means, suggests to them. Instead, all domain names are valued by factors such as length, TLD(.com,.net,etc), english dictionary words, historical archives at Archive.org, symbols and numerals, etc, and are compared equally. An example is say stock.com and stalk.com. These names may compare to each other similarly on our system because they are both english dictionary words, same amount of letters, probably have been registered for a long time and have a history. As far as money is concerned, the stock.com name has far more potential than stalk.com. The point is, our system doesnt take into account what the name actually "means" so your name may be worth much more or much less. Use your better judgement, when interpreting the analysis results."
