Domain Appraisal Ohashi Domain Appraisal Forgive me for not creating a better interface and corresponding layout but some recent events, the overture tool will no longer update, I decided to release this ahead of schedule. Some details about the algorithm, it takes a lot of common metrics (obviously overture among others) and uses the statistical coefficients from my research which correspond to a dollar value. The sample size was n=955. This is a relatively small sample size and a very biased one because they all came from one source and were within a certain range/extension. This is NOT a magic ball to appraise domain value, it is a statistical attempt to guess what it might be. The algorithm can explain about 48% of the value, meaning 52% of the variation in pricing is unexplained (this means there are a lot more factors that the algorithm does NOT evaluate... and cannot in many cases). Guidelines for best results:
In other news, I really hope to get to work a lot on some new content, scripts and such this summer for this site and my other development properties. I was hoping to get Website Development.US off the ground but I just don't have the time to populate it with articles. I am perhaps thinking of turning it into a forum instead to discuss strategies and tools for making good, profitable websites from strong domain names. If anyone is interested in talking about this more please feel free to contact me. -Kevin Ohashi |
What is New? I haven't updated in a while. Things have been a bit busy lately. However, Ohashi.US is finally at a 'complete' stage. The last part of the website, the Whois, section is finally finished. The new Whois tool is not just a standard whois tool but a very powerful domain research tool. This is NOT designed for looking up availability (though it will perform that task) but more for researching your own domain names or those you are interested in. It looks up data on Google PageRank, Alexa Ranking, link popularity, overture score, DMOZ/Yahoo Directory Listings, Wikipedia References, Archive.org Records, Availability in major gTLDs/ccTLDs and more. One final note is my newest site went live recently called Name Utilities. It is designed to provide you access to the most useful tools for doing domain name research as well as providing the latest in domain news to keep you informed whille you research. -Kevin Ohashi |
Data Services and Research In my continual quest to upgrade Ohashi.US as the premier domain name information and research site I have added a new section, Data & Research. This is where useful data and research will be published in the future regarding domain names. Currently there are two pages up with information on 3 and 4 letter domain name combinations. Each is available through the webpage or downloadable as a text file (zipped). If you have requests for data to be generated or ideas for what you would like to see in that section feel free to contact me with your ideas/requests. -Kevin Ohashi |

Happy New year With a new year, Ohashi.US is taking on a new face (yet another new design). Also, I have added a Registrar Review Database. This database contains detailed information about a multitude of registrars and their offerings. It also integrates into a review/rating system. So please take a moment and cast a vote for your registrars and perhaps even write a review! -Kevin Ohashi |
