Deleting Domains - 12/31/2007

Posted under Deleting Domains

This is the last “Deleting Domains” report for 2007. 

Next year, tomorrow, will bring about some changes.  For one, I will be offering the list of premium names in a private section of this blog.  I will keep posting the general list each day in the public blog, but in the new private section I will share the names I would typically keep for myself.  These are the names like OnlineFrench.com that I just lost today for $900.  That name could easily make $100/day if someone treats it right.

OK, enough about the new premium section.  Keep on the lookout for that tomorrow.  Now on to today’s unfiltered list.  I did not keep any domains to myself today and for proof check out the Disney World name in the second list.  Careful of the trademark!

Pool:

  • 1800florist.com - 1 vol, 3.64 ACPC, 20.02 MCPC, 1 - 2 CPD, $4 - $8 cost/day, $1,200 bid already.
  • toyotacressida.com - 2.3 vol, .67 ACPC, 1.78 MCPC, 12 - 20 CPD, $7 - $20 cost/day, TM issue

NameJet:

  • advancema.com - No Google data.  I was thinking of the cash advance market when I added it to the list.
  • bbcsportsnews.com - 1 vol, .48 ACPC, 2.07 MCPC, 1 - 2 CPD, $1 cost/day
  • cuppoker.com - No Google data.  Poker names are typically decent names.
  • disneyworldcheap.com - 2.4 vol, 3.09 ACPC, 5.19 MCPC, 55 - 69 CPD, $140 - $240 cost/day, TM
  • girlamerica.com - 2.2 vol, .54 ACPC, 2.21 MCPC, 12 - 16 CPD, $6 - $20 cost/day
  • jelato.com - No Google data.
  • marriagedvd.com - 1 vol, .84 ACPC, 1.89 MCPC, 0 - 2 CPD, $1 - $2 cost/day
  • prooftype.com - 1 vol, 1.02 ACPC, 2.00 MCPC, 2 - 3 CPD, $2 - $3 cost/day
  • ps3madden.com - 1 vol, .36 ACPC, .70 MCPC, 2 CPD, $1 cost/day

VOL - Google’s volume estimate
ACPC - Avergage cost per click
MCPC - Max cost per click
CPD - Clicks per day
TM - Potential trademark issue

One Man’s Loss Is Another Man’s Gain

Posted under Domaining

I lost two auctions today and like in the poker world, I am on tilt.  Oh well!

Congratulations to the new owners of:

OnlineFrench.com - $900
OEMWheel.com - $310

May you both (new owners) make the kind of money from those domains that I think they can actually make.

Deleting Domains - 12/30/2007

Posted under Deleting Domains

Here are some good names from today’s (12/30/2007) pre-release list at NameJet.

alaskacoffee.com - 1 vol, .77 ACPC, 2.13 MCPC, 0 - 1 CPD, $1 - $2 cost/day
atlantabookstore.com - 1 vol, 1.06 ACPC, 2.73 MCPC, 3 CPD, $3 - $4 cost/day
dallasoralsurgeon.com - 0 vol, 1.71 ACPC, 2.47 MCPC, 0 CPD, $0 - $1 cost/day, Good name to flip.  Texans like to go big, so charge them big for this name.
hugecard.com - No Google data.  The greeting card market is a good one and this name could be developed into a decent site.
seomoney.com - No Google data.
simpleseo.com - 0 vol, 3.72 ACPC, 6.46 MCPC, 0 CPD, $1 cost/day

As usual, I am keeping a couple good names for myself.  Sorry.  I was going to leave them on the list until I realized there are no bids for either name.  That makes it a nice and easy one-sided auction.  You’ve got to love Sundays!

Here are some good names from NameJet’s Pre-Release List for 12/28/2007.

  • babyopia.com - No Google data.  Potential name for baby website.
  • bbcshirts.com - 1 vol, .47 ACPC, .77 MCPC, 2 - 3 CPD, $1 - $2 cost/day
  • candyzone.com - No Google data.  Potential name for a candy website.
  • dailykids.com - No Google data.
  • fauxfurboots.com - 1 vol, .74 ACPC, 1.69 MCPC, 2 - 3 CPD, $1 - $3 cost/day
  • gobysea.com - No Google data.
  • hospitalservices.com - 2.3 vol, .99 ACPC, 2.98 MCPC, 56 - 70 CPD, $50 - $90 cost/day, 25.4M in Google
    This is the type of find I would typically leave off the list, but there are already 42 bids for this baby so I figured it was essentially public knowledge anyway.
  • royaltub.com - 1 vol, 1.26 ACPC, 2.95 MCPC, 1 - 2 CPD, $2 - $4 cost/day
  • universitypages.com - No Google data.
  • vitalresources.com - 1 vol, 1.01 ACPC, 3.19 MCPC, 1 CPD, $1 - $2 cost/day

There are a few names that didn’t make the list for a few different reasons.  Keep in mind that I will probably set up a new section of this blog for those names in 2008.  Happy fishing!

Today is a great day for pre-release names in NameJet.  Take a look below and see what treasures are available.

  • autopartsusa.com - 1 vol, .85 ACPC, 2.30 MCPC, 4 - 5 CPD
  • cdlonline.com - 1 vol, 1.07 ACPC, 2.57 MCPC, 6 - 7 CPD, 561K in Google, There are a lot of companies offering testing.  Develop a site, SEO it to pull CDL traffic, and away you go.
  • degreepro.com - 1 vol, .96 ACPC, 2.74 MCPC, 1 - 2 CPD
  • forbiddenart.com - 0 vol, .74 ACPC, 2.80 MCPC, 0 CPD, Interesting name.
  • gemdirectory.com - No Google data.
  • kiloliter.com - 1 vol, .17 ACPC, .41 MCPC, 0 CPD
  • mauigiftshop.com - No Google data.  There has got to be a gift shop in Maui that can be sold on the importance of this name.
  • pastelpaintings.com - 1 vol, .50 ACPC, 1.00 MCPC, 2 - 3 CPD
  • pricingguides.com - 1 vol, 1.17 ACPC, 3.21 MCPC, 4 - 5 CPD
  • sinatracd.com - 2 vol, .73 ACPC, 1.38 MCPC, 10 - 13 CPD
  • tokyochef.com - No Google data.  Interesting name though.
  • xmasnight.com - 1 vol, .49 ACPC, 1.52 MCPC, 0 CPD, Definitely cyclical, but pertinent this time of year.

By the way, I decided to keep a couple names to myself again today.  I can’t give away the farm you know?! 

I am actually considering setting up a section of this site specifically for noting names that show great potential either for the name alone or for the development potential.  I can’t buy and develop them all myself, so I think I will offer them up to people who take this domaining and web development business seriously.  Stay tuned!

A quick look at NameJet’s pre-release domains for 12/26/2007.

  • fixhat.com - No Google data.  It was worth checking.
  • mailbath.com - 1 vol, 1.50 ACPC, 4.96 MCPC, 1 CPD
  • whyvolvo.com - No Google data.  Could be a nice site if developed properly.  Volvo, you should buy this one yourself.
  • brownauto.com - 2 vol, 4.20 ACPC, 19.18 MCPC, 4 - 8 CPD, 2.58M in Google
    I’m in on this one.  There are 13 bids already.  This one is headed to auction, so lets get ready to rumble.
  • relaxgolf.com - 1 vol, .66 ACPC, 1.44 MCPC, 0 - 1 CPD

There’s one more name I am keeping to myself, since I am the only one in on the name right now.  My track record is not real good over the holidays thanks to my limited time online, so please excuse me for keeping one to myself.

The Secret Sauce for Checking Domain Demand

Posted under Domaining Tools

How to Gauge Domain Name Demand

There are several ways to go about checking demand potential for a domain name.   I myself like to use a combination of sites to gauge demand for keyword(s) by end-users and by advertisers.  This will allow you to find domain names that are in demand and have the potential for generating advertising revenue.

So what do I use?

Here’s what’s out there today.  Good luck!

  • dietno.com - This is the time of year for dieting, so I pulled this name out of the list.  It is definitely a domain that will need developed.  I wouldn’t expect much type-in traffic from this one.
  • logclock.com - 1.5 vol, 1.04 ACPC, 2.63 MCPC, 1 CPD
    I’m not sure who is looking for a log clock, but apparently someone is.
  • lovercat.com - 2 vol, .82 ACPC, 1.49 MCPC, 5 - 10 CPD
    CatLover.com would be so much better, but this one has a decent amount of demand on its own.
  • blackchip.com - 2 vol, 1.32 ACPC, 2.46 MCPC, 8 - 14 CPD, 48 Overture
    I’m in on this one and so are 16 others.
  • gamekiosk.com - 1 vol, 2.42 ACPC, 6.01 MCPC, 0 - 1 CPD, 34 Overture,
    There are five bidders on this one already.  I am going to skip this one, but I like the MCPC and the possibility of flipping this name to an existing company.

  • chilidogs.com - 1 vol, .39 ACPC, 1.07 MCPC, 2 CPD
  • vsia.com - No Google data. Misspelling.
  • madcharm.com - If you’ve got it, maybe you should buy it.
  • bmxpedals.com - 1 vol, .44 ACPC, .77 MCPC, 3 - 4 CPD
