Domain searches question.......

[kenny]

I already had robots go through all the available domains for "dictionary.com" or "dictionary/dictionary.com" or every combination of three characters.



All the good names are taken and the ones that drop are picked up by www.pool.com or some other drop service.

I didn't even consider that!

I guess a lot of success comes from building a good reputation by building good websites.

I wonder if most novices enter the business like me thinking they'll be running their own great linklist within a year or two.
Are there enough hours in a day to be a solo succesful linklist owner?
I'm currently working around 18 hrs per day researching, building freesite templates & recip tables etc, more researching, more researching, more..... etc etc.
I'll be ready to start submitting freesites in early January, and my linklist ambition is quite rightly now a "hub" ambition.

Without the research and especially the help I've received here I would have fallen flat on my face a few months back.

There is some people that are experts at finding names and selling them at high prices.

I can give you a example you acquire FTD access to the TLD Zone files help by VeriSign.

Then you take that list and use powerful software (they do have this) to filter the domains were you can see the ones that are dropping before anybody else.

Try to buy them from the owners at a low price or back order those domains with snapnames, etc.

The only set back about the back order is that pool.com usually gets them. (Atleast back when I use to do it) and they auction them off to these guys with endless money who are willing to pay $10k for a domain just to sell it for $15k within two years and shit like that.

Basicly my point being - if there is a valuable domain out there those fuckers will usually find a way to it.

Sleeper - there are a bunch of 3 char .coms available out there - but you are correct - if they are a dictionary word they are going to be taken - but think outside the box a little (I did and picked up one that was a doozy based on cell phone/IM shorthand)

I picked up a whole slew or 4 char radio and tv stations starting with "K" I'll hold on to them until new owners come in and want to use them. I get all kinds of email about programming and scheduling as a result of owning them. lol
