I been playing the domain drop game for a little over six years now. A lot of people nowadays complain that things just aren't what they used to be and that is true, but there is still lots of bargains available each and every day and of course and always will be --- if only you know where to look and what to look out for. Scanning 100,000+ domains daily is unrealistic. Duhhhh!!
Now, not to brag or anything but I've made well into seven figures in net profit since 2003 buying expired domains and then reselling them or developing them down the road. Maybe another few hundred other individuals at most have accomplished the same as well over the years. I've picked up tons and tons of good keyword domains across all niches and continue to do so each and every week. I have my criteria and have stuck with it for a long time. It works really well for me personally.
Soooo I'm gonna share my lists with ya'll.. Why not??! I only use SnapNames.com because I don't really trust anybody else and I don't like getting into bid wars. I usually bid up to $100 on domains that I want to resell and a little more on domains that I want to develop.. I was never a big spender, but I went after quantity. That has been the key. Done lottery style.
So anyway's... I scan the domain's root keyword against Google AdWords keyword tool's worldwide monthly searches, grab that data and analyze it further. If there is a decent amount of monthly searches for the keyword, I investigate on Google.com directly. I checkout how many advertisers there is for that keyword, how many total results there is.. How many sites are setup and targeting that keyword and so on.
Lots of other expired domain list providers give you worthless linkpop data and all kinds of other bullshit which is just a waste of time. When you are buying domains specifically to resell or develop in the future, the data below is all you need. Got it?? Well, ok.. Check out the domains coming on the auction block actually today and see for yourself... There is some pretty good domains in there. Don't you think?? I always organize the daily drop into 3 lists, broken down into com / net / org :) Have fun!
Please note that the spreadsheet style lists below only work in Firefox. In safari it doesn't scroll down. In internet explorer it cuts off the search numbers on the right.. Gotta love all different browsers and how they work. LOL!
So did you find anything that you liked?? A dozen or so? Maybe a few dozen?! Yea... That is the story. Pretty much every day there is at least a few dozen really good exact match keyword domains available that could be resold for 10x - 100x or more. Can also be developed into huge sites easily. You gotta do the research though... It ain't easy obviously, but those who are serious about domains have all of this shit down to a science. Duhhhhh!
There is a ton of opportunities in the domain game in 2009 and I predict that there will be even more in 2010 and beyond. The domains will keep on dropping... Quality domains too!! Just gotta get serious and work your magic. So how about tomorrow's drop list... What other goodies are there?! Ok ok... Relax. I got it for ya. Here you go. July 30th, 2009...
Remember that this is only the domains from SnapNames.com exclusive registrar partners such as Moniker.com, Register.com and so on. The domains are only available for purchase at SnapNames right now and nowhere else.
Lots of greaaaaaaat domains right?? Heh... The key to be successful playing the drop game is to do is consistently. Day in and day out. No taking breaks. Do it for a few month's and you will have yourself a great collection of domain names. It is never and I mean never too late to start in the domain game. I am sure a lot of people are going to be hating me for making the lists available publicly as is, but hey... I share real experiences. I share real data. That is why you love me right.. :D
You can't get this stuff elsewhere.. WannaDevelop.com rocks --- say it.. Say it!!!! Until next time! Cheers..
