Great Domain Names Are Still Available

I totally agree. I bought an awesome domain yesterday and then proceeded to scoop up the .info as well.

Great tip and i totally agree, be creative with keywords and there are still dot coms out there

Several coupons are discussed in another active thread:

All success,

Of course there are great names out there, a lot of people still don't know what they should be looking for but in estibots case just as an example, I ignore the dollar appraisal values...much more important are the SERPs and search values

To be honest i hate picking domain names... its taken me 3 hours to find an available domain name with the word 'article' in it.

Just picked it up now but the .cm is taken with nothing on it for some reason!

Plus what i hate even more if people who buy domains and leave them with either nothing on them at all or just put up a homepage that is worthless (i.e. their name)!

It's soo hard to buy them of those people too especially when they leave no contact info/nor whois

I have found 4 perfect domains for my IM site and yet all are just like that... damn noobs or people who don't take action!

Indeed, godaddy do have that right in that respect, paying people pay rent for parking domains...maybe it is something others should do to discourage it lol

Keep looking Mike! There are still some out there.

I picked up three last week with the word 'article' in them. (Hope they weren't the ones you wanted )

Tip: try the domain with 'articles' (plural)

You can also make up something corny like google.com or loopypoopy.com or something else that people would remember.

I use namecheap too.

I spent close to 3 hrs trying out all kinds of combination in the diet niche..and damn.. I was exhausted.

While on the topic, do you guys have any easy way to find available names?

Look on your desk, you probably have loads of crap on it if you are anything like me, simply pick one and type it into google adwords and then add all those and save them to a text file, and then copy that whole list and paste it into godaddy bulk register by going to godaddy > domains > Bulk Domain Name Registration

When you have a list simply click search and it will remove all the other ones already taken...lets try it with, "remote".

It takes out a whole list of domains already registered and this is what we get left with:

BUSHTVREMOTE.COM
ENABLEREMOTE.COM
GEMINIREMOTE.COM
GITREMOTE.COM
HIFIREMOTECONTROLS.COM
MATSUIREMOTE.COM
MEDIACENTREREMOTE.COM
ONEFORALLTVREMOTE.COM
ONE4ALLREMOTE.COM
PANASONICTVREMOTE.COM
PHILIPSMAGNAVOXREMOTE.COM
PHILIPSSRU1010.COM
PHILIPSSRU5150.COM
PHILIPSSRU8008.COM
PHILIPSSRU8015.COM
PHILIPSTVREMOTE.COM
REMOTECODESFORTV.COM
REMOTECONTROLSFORTV.COM
REMOTEDOS.COM
REMOTEINFRARED.COM
REMOTELITE.COM
REMOTETELEVISION.COM
SAMSUNGREMOTECLIENT.COM
SAMSUNGREMOTECODES.COM
SAMSUNGTVREMOTE.COM
SPAREREMOTECONTROLS.COM
USINGREMOTE.COM
WINDOWSMEDIACENTERREMOTE.COM

Now, obviously we want to avoid something that is trademarked but if we look at "REMOTECONTROLSFORTV.COM" we can see it has 3600 broad searches and 720 exact, simples [This domain name has since been snatched up but you can see the methodology]

This method can be used for pretty much absolutely everything, even if it takes out 95% of domains that are already taken you will generally get 4-5 that are free for you to take, you just have to figure out if people are actually searching for it or if it is a dud :p

I find it brilliant for getting maybe 500 names that would take 12 hours to sift through to about 12 minutes where you can see exactly what you are working with and maybe 1 or 2 good names in the whole lot, and this works for every conceivable item, and even with applications you wouldn't even dream of sometimes

If I want to do it with more names I simply go go to google adwords and search Diets, get the list, pick a word from that which is related, search that, then again and soon I end up with 2000+ terms

Put that into godaddy a few times and I end up with a nice little list of 200-300 domains maybe, all of which are available

99% true - there are great domains unregistered, up for grabs.

I use makewords to scout for possible domains; pcnames / who.is to check if all extensions are available.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a 4 letter dot com or a dictionary word (single word) - it's back to the domain sellers.

Not to mention that sometimes, you can get great bargains from domain sales; I picked up a batch of over 10 names at a total of $16; kept the two I wanted and flipped the rest for more than I'd bought the original set..

When searching for domain names, I always check the whois to see when the taken ones expire, and if there's actually a site there. If there's not a site, and the domain is coming up on expiration, I place a backorder. I've scored quite a few sweet domain names that way. Backorders at GoDaddy are reusable if you don't get the domain. All you have to do is change the domain name on the backorder.

Checking the expired domains at WhoIs is another way to find good domain names. It takes some effort to sort through the idiotic domains, but I've picked up some good ones this way.

Well over a million domains expire every single month. Many fantastic domains are among these expired/expiring domains. There is almost an endless supply as domains go though the cycle of people registering them for a year and dropping them. Sometimes great domains get dropped due to neglect, sometimes they have too many and can't afford the renewal fees, sometimes businesses close, sometimes people die without giving the info to their survivors.

Oops - sorry MARK!!!!
