Comments on: Steps I Use For Finding PendingDelete Domain Names http://www.dotweekly.com/steps-i-use-for-finding-pendingdelete-domain-names/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:29:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nigel http://www.dotweekly.com/steps-i-use-for-finding-pendingdelete-domain-names/#comment-9345 Nigel Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:04:48 +0000 http://www.dotweekly.com/?p=2915#comment-9345 Thanks for the insight Jamie. Always good to see how others dumpster dive through the drop list. I use a Mac, so can't run DRT. Would be a very handy tool to have. Wish they'd port it to OS X. On the plus side, I do have access to Unix command line scripts, like awk, so I can create some fairly narrow searches based on keywords, length, and tld. Occasionally I get lucky with hand reg'ing, but for names that I really want, I always backorder. Thanks for the insight Jamie. Always good to see how others dumpster dive through the drop list.

A few points of clarification for the record. I spend a great portion of my days reviewing the drop lists. I try to uncover those "diamonds in the ruff". I have many clients looking for certain keyword domains. I enjoy the hunt and the hard work does payoff! @ZMOG, I can assure you I do not "hijack" your picks...

Something like $7.75 for .com's I think. My normal rates are around $8 something I think. @Tony,

Not on the gems but for sure decent drops. @John,

I am starting to wonder if there isn't something related to that script that doesn't broadcast what names everyone who uses it is going after, to which he (Dan) can just sit back, read everyones pending registry pings and from those, choose the best names to grab himself... He is clearly pretty 'tight' with some inside people @ Moniker. Hmmm... I can't smell the rat yet, but I'm starting to hear footsteps.

I thought I considered myself fairly advanced in sifting through lists in excel and I didn't even know about using the wildcard (*) in find & replace It is interesting to see that someone else is using a lot of the same systems and processes as I have discovered on my own. It is funny now to have a mental image of so many hundreds (thousands?) of others all doing the same thing at the same time each day that I never really thought of before good read. thanks Jamie.

I'm kinda new to the aftermarket and deleting domains, and my process for finding good ones hasn't been the best/fastest. Looks like I'll have to by the Domain Research Tool now :) Thanks for sharing!
