question Backordering help

Domain ended at networksolutions was grabbed by SnapNames. hotdomaintrade - i don't know, maybe one of junk registrars used by Snapnames.

Anyway, all three names you've picked are great, especially 1 and 3. Dynadot would never have a chance. You need to backorder domains like these both at Dropcatch and Snapnames, and be prepare to pay high bucks on their after-the-catch auctions.

All three goes to snapnames.
--> dynadot is too slow for .com .net

You have to try different strategies
a) snapnames discount (with a service like mine)
b) dropcatch discount
c) dropcatch regular
d) snapnames regular

tests:
1) order on : a
2) order on : a+b
3) order on : a+c
4) order on : d
5) order on :c+ d

If you dont care paying $79 or more for domains, forget tests 1) 2) 3) ; test only 4) and 5)
For domains where you prefer to pay less than $79 follow tests 1 to 5

Try each test with 20 domains and count by the end how many domains you have with each test and expenses to know how much continuing on a long hand the same strategy will cost you...

One thing to know is that services put more power on domain when they have a lot of backorders for it, so it's not a good choice to backorder everywhere your domains, if domains goes to public auction after...

Your strategy is fine but I prefer to avoid DC auctions

with your service, I have an excellent return an no surprise. For most expired domains, it's not necessary to pay 79usd and end up with a crappy registrar

with DC discount, it's very effective and cheap, but ONLY for SEO domains. For keyword domains, they systematically end up as "partner". So we work for free for them. And if we do a regular BO, it very often goes to auction. And in DC auctions, the prices are juste insane, as they are open auctions

Exactly, look to who will win the domain, very often it's not someone who has backordered it...

It's clever from DC (but bad for us). Buyers don't need to waste time selecting domains. Valuable domains ALWAYS end up in auctions. So they just need to analyze the domains, once they are auctionned with DC. It saves a lot of time
