Some domain names are valued in the thousands or millions of dollars by virtue of their uniqueness and rarity. However, the valuation of non-premium domain names should be approached with the same rigor as the valuation of a traditional business.The valuation of a business in any industry starts with CURRENT earnings. Various risk factors and other intangibles may also be considered, and the

So far we've shown you some of the basics of domain investing at Domain Treasure Map. But, you also need some tools to help you succeed and make money in the domain name game.Keyword tools help us select the right domain names by finding high traffic, high value keywords. This in turn leads us to the high income domain names that can generate great PPC revenue.Before you register any domain

Have you noticed that the latest version of Google's Toolbar does not always take you to the address that you typed into the toolbar.Under certain conditions the "Address Browse Bar by Name" feature in the Google Toolbar automatically takes you to a random, pre-determined site when you type in a specific url. It does not take you to the address you typed in.For example, if you type "hockey.com"

Like everyone, I know costs can really add up when renewing domain names.Well, I was just about to renew a few domain names the other day when I remembered that GoDaddy has some great coupons running for domain renewals. I thought I'd pass these coupon codes on to everyone at Domain Treasure Map.Here are some of the best coupon deals right now:BTPS4 - 10% off anythingOYH3 - $3 off or $6.95 .COM

I was just informed that all ".info" domains are on SALE for only $0.99 until the end of January at Dotster. Make sure you use the coupon code "99infodot".This is a great way for new domainers to register domain names for virtually nothing!Also, when you have a great idea but the .com is already taken, registering the .info domain is a great way to protect your idea and secure your online

FeedJit is back!Still a bit of a mystery, but what great customer service from Mark Maunder - FeedJit's founder and CEO. Mark noticed my post (without any contact from me), and responded very quickly and professionally.It's great when companies really care about their products, and are so responsive to their customers.Thanks from all FeedJit fans Mark!

Where has FeedJit gone?I use this widget to display a summary of the latest visitors to the Domain Treasure Map. You'll notice that the "Recent Visitors" feed on the left side of the blog isn't working today, and the FeedJit website also seems to be down.Hopefully this is something temporary. FeedJit is a great widget that shows how global the world's communication has become.

There are hundreds of domain registrars where you can register your domains on the internet. Most of them require you to sign up for a free account, and all accept payment by credit card, and in many cases PayPal.Obviously pricing is an important component of selecting your preferred registrar. You may not think that $2 or $3 per domain name matters, but if you start registering tens or hundreds

Today I've done a fun post to give you a brief video tour of my home office - headquarters for the Domain Treasure Map blog.This is in response to a blog post at Darren Rowse's ProBlogger where he posted a video of his new blogging office, and invited comments from his readers to show their offices as well.This is my first public appearance and not the greatest video quality, but we all have to

I just want to remind everyone that at Domain Treasure Map our focus is NOT premium domains like those reviewed in a recent article at the Domain Tools blog. Although this is an informative and well written article, it really applies to the ultra premium domains that you and I will never own in the near future.Sometimes I think that domainers are doing a disservice to the entire domain industry

In this short post we'll review the costs to register a new domain name, as opposed to purchasing one from the resale market.The only real cost is the registration fee, which will vary depending on which registrar (reseller) you choose to use, and the type of tld that you want to register. Currently, the cost is anywhere from $6 to $12 for most of the top level tld's (.com, .net, etc.), and some

Here are some selected domain sales and statistics. I've included multi-million dollar sales, as well as some of the higher recent sales so that you get a feel for the current market value for a variety of domain names and tld's.Remember that these are premium domain names with either single or double words, and/or very brandable terms. These are the cream of the crop.poker.com

Alright, let's get to work.A domain is a collection of english letters that describes a specific address on the internet. The average person tends to think of these letters or words as websites, but technically speaking, a domain name like "domaintreasuremap.com" represents the english version of a specific address on the internet - much like your street address describes the location of your

We're going to start by reviewing some of the fundamentals that you need to understand if you're going to invest in domains.There are far too many people on the internet preaching that you need to make some cash as fast as you can so that you gain a sense of success and don't quit. I disagree. Like anything worth doing, it's worth doing well. Learning to play a musical instrument, learning to

Happy New Year to everyone, and may we all have a prosperous 2008!This is the first post of the Domain Treasure Map blog to help everyone starting in the world of domain investing. My focus will be to help the average person buy, build, and sell domains that are affordable. There is a lot of money still to be made in the domain industry - you don't have to worry that you missed the boat 5 or 10
