I found this site Cogland.com that gives values for domains. Is it a true evaluation and if not where is a good source?

Thanks

    A domain is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

        Domain valuations are probably the most worthless numbers online

        Agreed.

        Most domain names have little or no intrinsic value per se.

        It's what you do with the domain that adds value and sets it apart as being worth additional money.

        Here are some key preferences that I personally feel are important when assessing what you have:
        • Dot com extensions are the most preferred, especially for commercial businesses
        • Shorter names are better than longer names
        • I prefer domains without numbers and hyphens
        • Domains that are memorable are preferred
        • Domains that are easily spelled (typed) are preferred
        • I personally like domains that are descriptive (so that a new prospect has a clue about what the business does before going to the site)
        • Exact match domains are probably not as valuable as they once were; however, if you are selling a product or service and you have an exact match domain that's great!
        • I like having a descriptive keyword (or short phrase) at the beginning of the domain if possible
        • Try to find a domain name that is not "close to" or very similar to another domain name in your niche (both to avoid confusion and also to steer clear of trademark infringement)
        I think if you follow some or most of these suggestions you'll be able to find a great domain name.

        The very best to you,

        Steve
