About Us - Frequently Asked Questions

What is this website?
WebmasterAppraisal.com - A website that allows webmasters to post their websites, domains, templates, and logos to be appraised online for free. As your appraisals are received, you get an average estimated value, as well as useful comments posted by other users.

What's an appraisal, and why would I want one?
An appraisal is an evaluation of one's property. In other words, it is an estimated reselling value of your product or item. Knowing how much your item is worth can give you the upperhand in the marketplace, as you will have a perfect idea of how much to ask buyers for. Since all of your appraisals are from users just like yourself, you are hearing the valuable opinions of actual webmasters and prospective buyers.

What if I don't get any appraisals?
We guarantee if you make a posting (website, domain, template, or logo), you will receive no less than five appraisals.

How does this site work then, and how do you guarantee atleast five appraisals?
WebmasterAppraisal is all about webmasters coming together to help each other. You help others by appraising their items, and as a result they will help you back. You could easily waste over a hundred dollars on a single appraisal from a firm, which could end up being very inaccurate. Our website doesn't just give you a one time appraisal from somebody who claims to be a professional, but instead, we take multiple appraisals from users like yourself, and give you the calculated average.

This is how it works:
You appraise five domains - you earn a "domain posting credit"
You appraise five websites - you earn a "website posting credit"
You appraise five templates - you earn a "template posting credit"
And so on...

Posting your domain for appraisal requires one domain posting credit. In other words, for every five of something you appraise, you are then able to post one of your own and get five appraisals. Five is the guaranteed minimum amount of appraisals you get for a posting, although you are always able to reopen your posting for more appraisals. This means if you post a website for appraisal and it closes after you receive five appraisals, you can decide to use your earned credits to keep receiving appraisals on it.

For example, you currently have four website posting credits on your account from previously appraising twenty websites (1 credit for 5 appraisals, 4 credits for 20). You can then reopen your old website posting and "spend" these credits to receive twenty additional free appraisals. The end result being a much more accurate appraisal value.

What if I don't know how to give somebody a good appraisal?
Worried that you don't know how to give a decent appraisal? Don't worry! We provide users with useful tips and resources on how to give accurate appraisals. In addition, you will start to get the hang of things once you see other people's appraisals, as well as your own.

How can I ensure I am getting accurate appraisals?
We are always working on improving our site to give you the best possible experience. Here are just a few examples of how we take quality control into consideration:

  • If you get an appraisal from a user that seems unreasonable, you are able to disregard it from your average appraisal value.
  • Whether you're browsing your own appraisals or somebody else's, you have the ability to rate an appraisal given by another user as good or bad. This can either have a positive or negative effect on the appraiser's reputation points.
