How To Use Freshdrop.net To Find Domain Names Part 2: Geodomains
This is part 2 of my Freshdrop.net posts; you can view part 1 here. Today I want to focus on geodomains. Sure, this is trend domaining blog, but if you read my first post you’d remember that I’d also like to tackle geodomains.
You can’t deny the rising popularity of geodomains. The internet is going local and with the new extensions coming out in the next year or two, geodomains are here to stay. But you’ve already read this on all the other blogs.
This post will show you how Freshdrop.net is a goldmine for geodomains. Now, you’re not going to find any city.com’s or country.com’s here. But you will find some great geo+keyword.com’s and keyword+geo.com’s. Some of these are flippable to other domainers, but like any domain the real money is in selling to end-users.
We’ll use Houston as the main example in this post. Houston is the U.S.’s fourth largest city, so there are usually a good amount of related domains on these lists. Using the filter, I’m going to start with just .coms and eliminate the hyphens, numbers and typos. Here are the available domains in the Closeout section, sorted by age:
I’m going to sidetrack for a moment here. Note that the GR, GRN and OVTN columns are generally useless when looking for geodomains. The script simply has a hard time separating words I guess. The only two columns worth noting are age and traffic. Even traffic isn’t that big of deal since sites that get any real traffic don’t make it this far in the deletion cycle. I usually sort by age as good domains tend to be registered for longer.
Though there isn’t anything outstanding here, I do see a couple worth picking up:
- DirectHouston.com
- HoustonAdvice.com
- HoustonRefinances.com
- HoustonStudioRental.com
Like I said, no show stoppers. But these are almost flippable and certainly would do an end-user good if you are skilled in finding them.
Here is a search for .org, .net, .info, .tv and .us:
You’re not going to be able to flip these to another domainer all on their own. But plop on a mini-site and give it some time to get indexed and you could turn a decent profit using a few of these. Remember these are buy it now for $5 (plus reg fee). Small price to pay for the potential.
Moving on to Exp Names. This list is usually much larger, but has better domains. Remember that this is an auction, and bidding on these domains draws attention to them. Place your bid minutes before the auction ends.
Going back to .coms:
I wasn’t joking when I said that this list is usually longer. People tend to bid on decent domains, and the only domain on this list that has a bid is HoustonSurveyor.com. Rightfully so, as this is one of the better names on the list.
After that, I feel these domains may be worth picking up:
- LuxuryHoustonCondos.com
- HoustonHouseGuide.com
- TeachingHouston.com
- HoustonATM.com
- HoustonDieticians.com
And here is a search for .org, .net, .info, .tv and .us:
If you’re not afraid of the non-.com’s, then there are a few good ones here, starting at the top:
- HoustonList.org
- DateHouston.net
- HoustonGuest.net
- HoustonCharity.info
- LawyersHouston.info
- HoustonList.info
Though it has flaws, Freshdrop.net is a useful tool for the geodomainer, especially if you are looking to sell to end-users. Keep an eye out for TDNAM coupons too. They put them out from time to time.
