What Is Your Blog (Or Domain Name) Worth?

I like to reiterate a domain name is just a domain name.  Whether it’s dot.com, dot.net or dot.org it does not matter because today domain name is just a medium, a platform for any venture.

You might disagree thus argue a domain is a virtual estate, a brand name or for what ever reason you call it or attach reason to it, as to recursively trying to prove domain name mean something to you. I don’t care.

Why?  You need to put effort to make domain name into a multimillion worth of domain name. You need to market with so many different instruments available by:

1. attaching it to a blog platform. Thus your market the blog then the domain name became worthy. So who cares if Darren Rowse have problogget.net, Alborz Fallah have caradvice.com.au, or the big name, live.com, squidoo.com and many of those big name. You need to market the content, get the subcribers and talk about it. Paint it into an authorative sources of your market.
2. attached it to product or service.Remember the Netscape vs IE tug war. All those bad publicity create a reverse effect, an anticipated effect, the birth of firefox. Where do you get firefox, at mozilla.com. If you look at mozilla lizard, remember where you saw it at the first time. Netscape. To date, firefox already became the most downloaded browser well enough to recorded in the Guiness Book of Record. Again where do you get it, mozilla.com. No other place. Perhaps you still remember the humble beginning of hotmail.com
3. attached it to a product. microsoft.com would be just another company website. But once it attached to Ms Window, then it became so valuable. Although when you type window.com it will direct to sedo domain name parking page. My guest is that the owner is reaping a benefit of missed traffic from all these misconception.

If these three fundamental criteria does not make-up the value of your domain name than what else would? It is far greater than putting Google Page Rank Badge or Alexa Page Rank Badge (although I like the badge design that why I put it at the blog).   Since the last two can be achievely through link building and link harvest activity which I think defy the purpose of creating a high networth domain.
