Thank you.

I have another question for you, if I may…..this time further off topic from the initial post. Most Wanted Domains has a couple hundred spanish names in its inventory. Do you have a similar, very general x% rule of thumb for spanish name values, compared to english names, such as casa.com vs house.com? I’ve done a little comps searching, but I didn’t uncover any direct comparisons. (For kicks, I used estibot to compare 20 random, common terms in spanish vs english. The results ranged from 2% to 33%, with an average around 10%, which seems quite high to me.)

From a newbie, thanks for your great blog and insights into the domain world.

In general it our opinion that a .net is worth no more than 5% of a .com but that is only if its a great name.

Look at sex.com 12M, sex.net 425K, porn.com 9,5M porn.net 400K both sold in the same year.

However once you get beyond great .com’s, the 5% rule will shrink fast

I think Gwyneth Paltrow tried something like that a few years ago, until she realized that apple.com was taken

I see a next generation kids running around named SevenMile.com, Cowboys.com, and Pizza.com.

Whoever does not do that won’t be able to soon, if they even still could now. I tried to register a few for a friend of mine’s kids but had to use a middle intitial for one kid – and they both had unusual first names.
