A Few Sites That I Visit When Trying To Acquire Valuable Domain Names

by Matt on , under Domaining

Google Trends Hot List

I’ve found this is useful for acquiring names of people who are currently in the news. The problem with registering these names is that a lot of people are in the news for a week and then are never heard of again! Through this site I’ve only found one domain name of value and that’s Justin Tuck.com, who is a footballer in the NFL. The crap thing is I might run into issues with copyright or intellectual property rights.

If you land a popular persons name, it’s probably best to develop a fansite dedicated to that person on it. Having the .com domain will definitely add value to the site.

Popurls

This site is an aggregation of most of the popular technology blogs on the Internet. It’s great for finding generic technology names but again you have to careful to avoid registering trademarked domain names. If you keep seeing a new technology popping up such as UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC’s) it’s worth digging deeper for shorter, long tail keywords. For example run a query at Wordtracker Free Keywords for UMPC and see what comes up.

As I speak on the 1st of February umpcmediaextender.com is available. Even though the term only has 14 daily searches, this volume is likely to increase, especially if UMPC’s continue to grow in popularity. You should check to see if this is currently the case over on Google Trends.

It seems as though UMPC as a search term isn’t growing that much, so umpcmediaextender.com probably wouldn’t be worth registering.  Although you never know!

The crap thing is that most of the popular generic search phrases are registered by the big fish. They normally have access to software that uses the Wordtracker API to reel in most popular names. Notice how I say MOST.  By thinking outside the box you can easily land yourself some hot generics.

It’s just about persistance and having a positive attitude !
