Free Instant Domain Name Appraisal

Have you ever wondered how much your domain name is worth? If so, LeapFish is a free, automated appraisal service that uses a variety of criteria to come up with a value for your domain.

Smileycat.com scores a respectable overall score of 321. Here's how it breaks down:

Combined Value Score: 321
Top Level Domain Score: 10
Unwanted Characters Score: 10
Dictionary Word Score: 50
Length Score: 10
Archive.org Score: 216
Google Search Results: 17,000
Yahoo Search Results: 11,500
MSN Search Results: 1,703
Search Engine Score: 25
Estimated Base Value: $963.00
Estimated Actual Value: $154,562.00

Okay, so everyone knows that smileycat.com is worth nowhere near $150k (take off the '50' and you'd be closer to the mark). Even so, this is quite a useful tool for comparing your domain name against others, especially if you own a few yourself.

At the very least it's fun to see how your domain name stacks up against other sites in your area.

So, can anyone beat $154,000?

I can't beat it with anything I own...Though I'd almost be willing to take the Estimated Base Values on most of my domains. :)

Now, if only you could find a buyer gullible enough. Maybe there's some way to find out who responds to those Nigerian scam emails and follow up with them...?

Well, that was humbling. -- my dog's domain name is worth 20 times more than my own!
