Is it just me, or are domains getting easier to catch? I'm getting over 50%.

Have the major players moved on to a new business model, where they buy any rubbish, in the hope that it has some residual traffic and park it?#

(And while we are on the subject, I'm holding far too many domain names. So I've done some dramatic price reductions.)

what domains have you caught to make you say it is getting easier.
 
I'd be interested to know this also, I think it's a matter of what you considering going for on a daily basis. I'd think I am correct in assuming you chase "generic" 1 & 2 worders rather than traffic/overture domains.

I know none of the above would really interest me (More of what i'd go for secondary), so I think it's just a case of people with differing priorities. I haven't noticed any real change in the amounts that people are catching or what they are getting.

Best of luck to you though, if you are getting the majority of what you try for then let's hope it stays that way for you :)
 
I wouldn't say easier - I've had naff all in the past week - in April I was on 100% record.

I am not even including those to my list. However I dont want to have to add those type of names in near future lists. Quality drops are drying.

Outofgas.co.uk
semitrailers.co.uk
 
same here.... saw all of those and classed them as 'C'. Saying that I got 0% yesterday, and 40%the day before.

'swings and roundabouts'
 
OK then maybe others would like to list what they thought was of value, and caught, over the last few days.

I might think that I was barking up the wrong kettle of fish, if I hadn't sold some as well.
 
Saw all those but didnt go for any of them. Been trying to stick to those with ov score even if a bit low or ones that I can link to a decent PPC word. Apart from the Disney ones I cant really see any PPC value.

Even so, I never even saw the tkmax one drop :(

virgincreditcard ov/74
counselor
adoptme ov/51

and quite alot worth £xxx imo.
 
Sorry but the question was:
To all those rating what I had caught as 'C-list', what have they got in the last couple of days? I really would like to know what others found on the list.
 
Not saying these are any good, any better or anything else :p

And I missed many that I would have liked. Over the last few days picked up these.. think I should try to be a bit more selective still :p


naturalhighs.co.uk
coolbreaks.co.uk
goamsterdam.co.uk
musictutors.co.uk
theclash.co.uk - ov/12
megadeath.co.uk - typo
b-r.co.uk - are these worth anything?
powerdvd.co.uk ov/16
ruthless.co.uk
infopop.co.uk
greatfrog.co.uk - 0v/16 - shop on carnaby street nice ppc results.
thegreatfrog.co.uk
guitars247.co.uk
uplight.co.uk
mycoupons.co.uk - saw ecoupons.co.uk sold for £8k recently
winlotto.co.uk
oddities.co.uk
shabbychic.co.uk ov/14
creditsure.co.uk
lancelot.co.uk
pollution.org.uk
lunatic.co.uk
radars.co.uk
forever.org.uk
chaletfinders.co.uk
topfilms.co.uk
traveleasy.co.uk
myprivacy.co.uk
namebracelets.co.uk

Most I can link to high value PPC ads and I think alot have some kind of commercial value ie radars.co.uk creditsure.co.uk chaletfinders.co.uk etc.

None there for me. Would be nice if Nominet could publish who came second and third :p

TBH so many names drop each day and only a few catchers come out every day.

It will never happen, but yes it would make interesting reading. I bet you would get a lot more domains cancelled at the end of the month though if catchers saw that no other catchers wanted any of their domains :)
