A Godaddy.com trick, give it a try!

This is certainly great advice as usual, Jamie.

I would like to offer up one caveat about chasing domains with residual traffic that is not organic. They do not convert well on PPC.

One example I have is RareTix.com. I got it because it’s a great name for a ticket selling site but I found out it gets about 2,000 visitors a month which was an unexpected bonus. However, the click conversion is almost nil because the visitors are expecting the website that was previously there. Anyway, my point is don’t get names that just have traffic like cohenchords.com because it gets 10,000 hits/mo. You might not get any parking income from it.

wow great trick, you just taught me something new. thank you jamie.

It’s all about taking action. The aftermarket deals to be had on TDnam are ridiculously sweet this time of year. Lets see if your strategy helps stimulate more activity over there. @Tony – If you’re really getting 10k impressions a month and you’re still relying on parking you’re letting a game winning touchdown slip through your fingers at the 1 yardline… E-mail me, I’d love to convert that traffic for you

wow, very good tips.
I could had never thought of that myself!

discountfurnitureoutletonline.com has an expiration date of 31-oct-2009. If Godaddy cant sell it for the price they want, and are making $$$ parking it, then why would they drop it?

**Jamie Says**
The expiration date is due to the auto renew period. Registrars can undo that and not have to pay for renewal. Why would they drop the domain? It’s the right thing to do! They have said they do not warehouse domains…

“Godaddy has stated several times they do not warehouse domain names”

This is not true. Make a list of all of those names that you think will drop and get deleted. I guarantee you that 90% of those names or higher will be mysteriously owned by a company called ‘Standard Tactics’. Just like Simon said, if its making them money why would they let it drop. The answer to that question is……… They dont.

**Jamie Says**
Are you sure “Standard Tactics” is not using my trick….. Maybe I’m “Standard Tactics”

I didnt understand what should I do when the domains are in pending. when it’s happened and in what way I can buy it in minimum price before anyone else? what did u mean by this?:”domain names, so this means only one thing! These domain names that do not get any bids will follow the “normal” drop process and go Pending Delete.

So, build a list with the domain(s) and info provided from Godaddy that have no bids. The info will be helpful down the road when the domain hits pending delete as you can pick up many of these domains for Reg Fee…”?
thanks

Sorry Milly, I was setting up Godaddy aka “Standard Tactics”. Please see the post by Andrew. The fact is, Godaddy is keeping nearly all the domain names (warehousing) it “should” be dropping.

Go Daddy has been warehousing domains via their company Standard Tactics since 2005.

If a high bid item does not receive any offers it goes to Standard Tactics because Go Daddy ran a script that placed a backorder on the domain. If there is no action at TDNAM the domain always goes to the backorder holder.

OR . . . if the high bidder cannot make payment, it goes to the backorder holder.
