Domain Foreclosure! & GoDrops.com Beta
Domain Foreclosure & GoDrops.com Beta
Domain Foreclosure!
Sex.com is in foreclosure. And Elliots blog has a great article about it.
Why did I bring this up? Because on a smaller scale every day 50k+ domain properties are re-released to the public because no payment was made to renew them. Sometimes they are spectacular like macaroni.com and at other times they are just good like honeyflowers.com, prettypens.com, & muffincakes.com. (all of which dropped and were re-bought today)
I find the word drop doesn’t encompass the same opportunity as foreclosure, hence I played a typical promotional trick of putting it in the title to attract more attention! Bad Egg!, but you’ll forgive me when you read the next part of this post.
GoDrops.com Beta!
Last night just before I went to bed I got an email that kept me up another hour and a half, and today is the day we lose an hour to daylight savings time. doh!
The email informed me I had been selected to be included in the Beta for GoDrops.com. I’ll take a quick peek before heading off to bed. Not! After I logged into the new site, I was overcome with mathematical excitement with all the new data attached to each domain. Like most of you who watch drops, I tend to have about 10 browser tabs opened to manually data mine on the fly when a particular domain tickles my fancy. GoDrops.com has now made three quarters of those windows obsolete!
Wow, not only do you get to watch the domains as they drop (available again for register) but, now there is abundance of data attached to each one.
“Domain, Searches, Frequency, CPC , Value and Age”
honeyflowers.com 44 148k $0.05 $290 9yrs.
prettypens.com 319 11k $0.05 $830 2yrs.
muffincakes.com 209 50k $0.05 $930 4yrs.
If you click on a domain, it automatically goes to name.com to buy the it for 7.99$
If you enter “chefpatrick” in the promo code you are entered to win up to 750$ in prizes
During the drops there is a chat windows to the left where about 10+ other experienced domainers give their two cents on the domains of the day, and also suggest tools and other resources that can help domainers.
The issue of copyright came up today for a particular domain, and Richard suggested a valuable link for domainers who want to make sure they don’t accidentally stumble onto someones Trademark!
If you develop domains this is an incredible opportunity to get land to build your project around with a track-record on searches and availability of the subject matter you are developing.
GoDrops.com opens to the public on April 1st, so please add it to your Calendar, and hopefully I’ll see you there at the launch.
Disclosure.
I have no relationship, financial or otherwise with GoDrops.com other then being a volunteer beta tester. This recommendation is based on nerdy goodness alone.
