Domain Acquisition Process

[chris]

Elliot Silver has posted some notes about his domain acquisition process that I thought members would find interesting.

I want to share some personal insight into my domain name acquisition process because I thought it would be interesting for you to see how I evaluate domain names and decide what to do with them.

interesting, the comments are as well.

If you come across a couple of names with similar keywords that are expiring that show the same name in the WhoIS, that’s an indication that the particular person or company might be dropping a bunch of names in that vertical. Because people tend to go on registration “sprees” and reg a bunch of names all at the same time, the dates will be within a few days of each other. I’ve noticed this a lot when doing manual searching and on marketplaces, when it’s clear the company has made a conscious decision not to renew the names for whatever reason, and in addition to the 1-2 names you stumble across, it turns out they’re dropping dozens or more (which you can then search for).
