Guest Post: New Domain Registrations - Cheap Hot Tip For Great Domains
Many of you, including myself, are always looking for new sources of domains. You’d be surprised to know I spoke to Monte Cahn about a good source on Moniker’s DomainMaster radio over two years ago about this little-known secret, and I’ve helped many of my clients with this angle:
Take a look at online manufacturing industry catalogs and product pages. Find an industry, and investigate it, such as plumbing, electronic, auto parts, chemical, agriculture, etc.
There’s an easy way to find generic domains (do NOT nab product model names or anything with a ™ next to it). Surprisingly, the catalogs of these companies’ nicely define their products’ generic descriptions. That’s right. The catalogs of these companies are defining the generic description of their own products, and most of them don’t buy those domains while they’re designing the catalog. Some of my domains I found this way I sold within a year. I still have some popular ones that make some PPC too, like impactsprinklers.com and chemicaladditive.com. These are big products, and I bought them “OOTB -out of the basket” (New registrations).
With the evolution of marketing the domain name industry and the epiphanal marketing necessity for companies to own their prodserv online, they eventually will back up their popular products with buying the generic domains for them. It’s been done in the past, it’s being done now, and it will be even bigger in the future.
It can be time-consuming, and addictive. It also can be very lucrative. Be careful, learn a lot about the niche industry you’re thinking about following for finding their most popular product generic domains. Use their catalogs and product pages! A goldmine for domainers if you take the time to research.
Okay, now somebody owes me something.

Great tip.
Thanks!
Hi Stephen,
Yes I agree 100% whith your advice.
I have registered over 900 domains in different TLD’s & ccTLD’s doing what you talk about.
I have sold a fair few to end users and the rest are parked or being developed.
We will see what happens over the next few years to see if it was all worth it.

Thanks again Stephen for posting!
This is a technique I’ve not previously thought of. It’s funny too, because (hindsight) it’s so darned obvious. I’m definitely trying this out and adding it to my arsenal.
Hiya all of youz!..
