advice An interesting approach to sourcing popular domains available for purchase

[bretbernhoft]

Hello all! Thank you for hosting the NamePros forum and allowing me to participate. This is my first post.

I hope "General Domain Discussion" is the correct place to share the following observations.

I have purchased domains for web development projects for over 20 years. Only recently though have I begun buying domains for other purposes.

Recently I stumbled across an interesting way to find domains (available to buy) with significant organic traffic.

• Step One: Start with a niche topic I am interested in buying domains for/within; such as "sound effect microphones" or anything
• Step Two: Search Google (using Google Dorks) for related PDFs and download between 40-60 of them from the SERPs
• Step Three: Either (1) use a RAG (such as NotetbookLM), (2) read the PDFs one at a time myself or (3) build a tool for extracting unique domains from the documents
• Step Four: Extract all of the unique domain names from those PDFs
• Step Five: Copy/paste the found URLs into a domain availability checker
• Step Six: Confirm there are inbound links on any domains of interest and (of so) buy them

Since first implementing this strategy I have purchased 15+ domains. Traffic to these domains already exceeds 1,000 unique visitors every day.

Moving forward I plan on buying hundreds of domains using this strategy. I hope this post is makes sense.
