There were a couple of comments about how poor the recent drops are where from NameJet, Snapnames, and Godaddy. I would have to agree that the quality is certainly down but it there will be times when there is a run of good names and times when it runs dry. We’re dry right now. I had trouble finding anything today. Either way it bodes well for domainers. Less available means higher prices. Now onto the names
LondonVacations.com 18,000 searches and $3 CPC. $34,000 valuate. Will do well at auction
SubPrimeMortgages.com $17,000 valuation.com. $2000 at Godaddy right now. One of the nicer domains to come through godaddy this week
oodl.com A decent 4L. Has resale value
Maybe you can find something I couldn’t. Use Dropday.com when you do.
Since I couldn’t find you any decent domains I’ll leave you with a joke to make up for it.
An astrophysicist has made an incredible, breakthrough discovery, and it gets press in all the papers and is heralded by his peers as well. Naturally, he embarks on a tour giving lectures at universities around the country.
For the tour, he has a driver to get him smoothly from one pace to the next, and with so much time together, the two become friends. After a couple of months and stops at dozens of locations, the driver says, “You know, you’ve got an easy gig.”
“Is that so?” asks the scientist incredulously.
“Yeah, all you do is go from place to place giving the same talk, and you’re making a fortune.”
“Well, it’s not as easy as it looks, I’ll have you know. Do you think you could give a lecture on astrophysics?”
“I’ve heard your talk two-dozen times, I’m sure I could give it.”
So a bet is made for a hundred dollars. The driver will attempt to give the speech. If it goes well, he wins. If it goes poorly, the professor will intervene, explain the bet humorously and triumphantly, and take over with no harm done to his reputation.
At the hotel, they dress in each others clothing, the scientist decked out in the driver’s uniform and cap, and the driver wearing a suit and tie and spectacles.
At the hall, the driver does a stunningly good job of delivering the speech, and sitting in the back, the professor is astonished.
As the applause dies down, the driver begins to step down from the podium, but he’s stopped by the voice of the host over the microphone saying, “I think we have some extra time. Does anyone have any questions for the professor.”
Hands go up all over the auditorium. The driver begins to sweat, and the professor does too–it’s gone on too long to reveal the ruse now.
The first questioner asks an impossibly complicated and technical question. Clearly, this person knows what he’s talking about.
The professor puts his head in his hands, waiting for things to come unglued.
“Well,” begins the driver, “I must say, that is the most idiotic question I have ever heard.”
A stunned silence as the other would-be questioners put their hands down.
The man who’d posed the question is clearly unimpressed by this posturing, believing he’s exposed a flaw in the theory.
“Really, that’s an impossibly simplistic question, and I’m shocked that you felt like that was worth my time and the time of this audience.”
He went on, “In fact, to show you just how stupid your question is, I’m going to let my driver in the back of the auditorium answer it for you.”
Subprimemortgages.com has zero traffic according to GoDaddy.
I hate these kinds…..they look so nice but are ghost towns.
Not sure I get the value of SubPrimeMortgages.com. Who’s looking for a sub-prime mortgage? Are lenders beating the bushes for people who have them? I doubt it.
There are a lot of people that have them and yet I agree most people have no idea what a subprime mortgage is, the ads do pay well and a few thousand is easy to get back when you are getting $10 a click. Although I do agree this is not my type of domain either
i like reading the dropping domains you find each day, but really is it necessary to mention dropday in every single post? put a banner or a text link at the top and leave it out of the posts. it is becoming pretty annoying.
Thanks Chris,
I understand your point and will certainly do that. Dropday has been very good to me and I would like to be good to them as well. I will try and come up with a better way to promote them though
