But thanks for the info. To repeat, I like it more than NewYorkBiz.com which sold for almost $28K last year. Jamie, the ranking is icing on the cake – not the deal breaker. But thanks for the info.

The rank is really for Adirondack.net http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/newyorkcommerce.com The domain you purchased was likely forwarded to adirondack.net. Many people miss this and a lot of "tools" do not pick up the forward either. Visiting the link above, will clearly show the "other" domain has the rank and not yours.

It's ranked by Alexa. I believe traffic was from a previous website. Regardless, I like it more than NewYorkBiz.com which sold for almost $28K last year.

The domain is not indexed at G or Y and MarketLeap.com doesn't show any links. I couldn't see a reason for direct nav etc. Only 58 monthly searches for the exact term via Google. @ Tony #5

This is definitely a good technique for piggybacking off other's people's work.

You can use DRT, Freshdrop.net and use the metrics to help weed out domains also. The problem with this, it all takes A Lot of time. ~ Using the Bidders numbers, allows other to do some work for you. Just because others have a domain backordered or bids placed, doesn't mean a domain can not be purchased still at a good deal. The domain industry has a lot of "lookers" in nearly every domain auction. Tony,

This is why I try not to bid til the last hour before auctions start. Also, I want to find domains that have no bids that are hidden gems and not ones that will be heavily contested. Couple things…
