pool.com抢注的域名进入拍卖阶段
早上起来，收邮件，发现有两封由pool.com发来的，一封是例行公事的：Hotlist for Thursday, November 06, 2008
另一封是Your Auctions for Wednesday, November 05, 2008。
打开一看，是说前几天的一个域名的backorder有着落了，不过在pool.com上抢注的人多，需要进行拍卖：
不过这个三字母的域名虽然是.net后缀的，但是也足够吸引，所以进入拍卖阶段也是意料中的事了。
点进去一看，过了几个小时，价格已经被叫到$210了：
Total Auctions: 1
| Domain Name | Current Price | My Bids | # of Bids | Close Date (GMT) | Time Left | |
| eie.net | 210 USD | USD | 8 | 2008-11-08 16:02:00 | 2d 16h 22m | Bid Now! |
据说一般价格飙升会在拍卖临近结束前的数个小时内，姑且等那时候再看看。

最终还是忍不住诱惑，bid了一个$260的价格。这样的域名说坏也不坏，自己做网站有点浪费，如果能bid到还是不错的

Appraisal Analysis and Explanation
———————————–
Initial Valuation Criteria
NameBoy believes the TLD (top level domain) of a domain name is very important. The TLD determines the memorability of the domain, and better TLDs convey a more professional and experienced business. COM, NET, and ORG are currently the most credible and well known TLDs. The familiarity and credibility of newer TLDs will likely increase with time. A TLD of .NET is not as valuable as com, so this will detract from the value of your domain.
The number of characters in a domain affects the value of that domain. Shorter domain names are more valuable. The fewer characters a name contains, the easier it is to type and remember. Your name is quite short (five or less characters long). This is extremely valuable.
Hyphens generally detract from the value of a domain. Your name contains no hyphens, which increases the value of your domain.
Digits in a domain name, as in horses4sale.com, decrease the value of a domain. Your name contains no digits, which increases the value of your domain.
Market Based Appraisal Criteria
The number of words in a domain affects the value of that domain. Names with fewer words are considered to be more memorable, and therefore more valuable. Your name is one English word. Single word domain names are scarce and extremely valuable.
NameBoy uses major search engines to determine how much content exists on the Internet with your keywords. The Internet frequency of these words is a good way of determining the current buyers market for individual terms and the level of industry-specific activity. This element of your appraisal score is very time sensitive, the popularity of a given term may fluctuate often as the market changes and new fields grow. Your domain contains keywords that produce no search results. This decreases the value of your domain.
NameBoy uses an index of the search value of your keywords to determine the value of your domain in a sellers and advertising market. Your domain contains no keywords with any search value. This decreases the value of your domain.
The NameBoy.com search frequency allows us to rate the words we find in your domain against our own proprietary list of searches. This is a very good indication of whats hot in the industry right now. Your keywords have a very low NameBoy search value.
Appraised Dollar Value
As you can see, a number of metrics go into this appraisal. We think NameBoy appraisals are the best, most objective, and most intelligible domain name appraisals available. Our valuations are more realistic than others, and, on occasion our valuations are sometimes as low as zero dollars. Your domain has a very high appraisal value. Congratulations! Remember that this is only an approximate dollar value, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to sell or buy the domain for this amount.
Appraisal Value of eie.net
- Dollar Value is $2760
