When buying or selling a domain name value is one of the most important aspects to consider. There are several factors involved in deciding the value of a domain name.  Length, spelling and using .com in the name are just a few of the selling points.

If, by chance, you have received unsolicited offers for your domain name you have two advantages. First, you know there is some value associated with the domain name. And, two you have a starting price for the sale of the name.

Rule of thumb is generally the more words in a domain name and the less it is worth. However, common two word expressions seem to bring a larger price than rare one-word expressions. Even three-word expressions can be worth more than a rare one word if they are common.

Spelling is another key when selling your domain name. For example if a domain name is spelled urdomain.com versus yourdomain.com the incorrectly spelled domain is far less valuable.

Selling a domain name can be profitable and even fun. But, there are keys to getting the best price out of your domain name. Research first and look into what would be a good starting price. Spelling is key, common expressions are best and .com will give you top dollar.
