  • Using common prefixes or suffixes (i-, e-, my-) can greatly decrease the value of your name.
  • Unusual spelling means that visitors will have a hard time remembering your name.
  • Difficult pronunciation can prevent people from talking about your website. This can hurt the value of your name.
  • This number shows how important Google thinks your website is. You will need to install the Google Toolbar to get this number.
  • The Alexa traffic rank gives a good estimate of the popularity of your website versus the rest of the internet.
  • The more people that link to you, the better. Each incoming link (or back link) to your website is a valuable asset.
  • This is the number of unique visitors that you have in a month. This number is used to estimate the number of customers you have.
  • This is the number of pages that you show in a month. This is used with the above number to determine the number of pages viewed per user. This is also used to calculate the amount of advertising revenue possible.
  • Websites that have been around for a while are more valuable. You should only list the number of years that the website has been in use. So, if the name was parked for 2 years before you developed it, don't count that.
