How can we combat domain name hijacking?
What irritates me the most is how they hijack domain names that never sell or materialize into an actual website. It seems to be getting harder and harder to find a good long-tail keyword as a domain name these days. I have more success with sites I create containing the keyword in the domain, but since it seems to be getting almost impossible to find one, I would like to know what some of you are doing to circumvent this problem.
I'm not a big fan of using dashes in domain names since I've had little success with them. I also know you can use stop words, but not sure how affective that would be. There is also adding words before or after the keyword, like "buy + keyword", or "keyword + reviews", etc.
What can we do as marketers targeting keyword rich domain names when most good ones are being hijacked? I wouldn't doubt it for a minute that some of these companies employ software to scrape these keywords, check search volume and auto register them.
