Does the domain use a hyphen or a number?
Do I spell out a number inside the name ex: (搊ne??
Does the domain use a miss-spelling at all?
If the answer to these questions is all 搉o?then multiple current score by 5.

4) Brand Recognition
Do people know what the site does even before they even go there?
Either through the meaning of the name or by advertising.
An example of advertising is everyone knows Microsoft.com or ATT.com.
Normal people will need to use the domain meaning to score on this point.
If name has Brand Recognition then multiple current score by 3.
5) Development Value
How much work as been put into Developing the site?
Just a Splash page then multiple current score by 2.
Something more then a Splash page then multiple current score by 3.
Has the domain ever hosted a website that received more then 1000 visitors a day then multiple current score by 25.
6) Dot Value

7) Site Traffic Natural
10-39 natural type-ins multiple current score by 4.
40-100 natural type-ins multiple current score by 8.

10-39 Unique IPs multiple current score by 2.
40-500 Unique IPs multiple current score by 3.
500+ Unique IPs multiple current score by 4.
9) Industry Strength and Positioning
Does the domain have a calling? If the domain has a targeted industry how crowded is that industry? Does the domain accurately and generically describe what it was registered to do. Here is an example, For a travel agent, FlyCheap.com is a score 3. For a travel agent TravelCheap.com is a score 7.
Describes generically the industry then multiple current score by 7.
Describes specifically something in the industry then multiple current score by 3.
10) Search Engine Popularity
How do the terms in the domain name rank in Search Engines?
揋reat? then multiple current score by 7.
揋ood? then multiple current score by 2.
揂ll Right? then no bonus.
11) Grammatical / Linguistic value
Does it sounds correct? Does it read like a human normally speaks. For example: ShoppestMall.com, this sounds wierd. But ShoppingMall.com sounds correct. The plural form verses the singular form makes a huge difference.
If the name sounds correct, then multiple current score by 2.
12) Revenue Generating
Multiple yearly income of the domain by 2.5, add this dollar value to your final price.
13) Comparable sales value
What other domains have sold at that price. Is your name the same score?
Market analysis on your domain price is very important. Being able to justify your price against other domains selling price is key. Don抰 do marketing analysis off of list price. Only selling price will work. To find prices of domains that have sold use Afternic or other domain auction sites.
The highest score possible is something huge like 6,615,000,000
Score doesn抰 correlate to actual price very well, You need to use percentiles to figure out what the price is.
Total score:
Lowest = $15 (40 percentile)
Low score = $25-$40 (30 percentile)
Mid score = $100-$300 (25 percentile)
High score = $500-$1000 (3 percentile)
Extreme score = $1000+ (2 percentile)

http://www.sellhq.com/index.php?entry=entry070503-180943
The world’s biggest domain registrar is also the best, according to Domain Name Wire’s annual survey.
GoDaddy is the world’s largest registrar with about 20M domains registered (including reseller sites). It was also voted as the best registrar in the 2007 Domain Name Wire survey, taking 33% of the vote. Last year GoDaddy was also tops but received only 28% of the vote. Although not without controversy, GoDaddy has grabbed market share by offering domain names for affordable prices and investing heavily in marketing.
This year’s second place registrar was Moniker, which received 16% of the vote, up from 8% of the vote last year. The biggest loser this year was Register.com, which dropped from 18% of the vote to less than 1%. Here are the rankings based on total votes:
When you peel back the onion you find that the overall vote percentages tell only part of the story. When you consider owners of large domain portfolios (greater than 500 domains), Moniker ties GoDaddy for top honors with 23% of the vote. eNom jumps to 20% of the vote. Furthermore, if you look at the number of votes compared to total domains registered, Moniker comes out on top.
