Any Good on Tasted Domains?

[netPH]

I' like to ask if anyone still find some traffic (even low), from available newly expired domains that were already tasted, once or even twice? I'm pointing to TLD's .com .net .org.

Manual registrations of expiring domains was my daily activity in 2003-2005. I stopped for a while when I felt it was already boring and when I realised that I have enough on my portfolio. I know that the game already changed nowadays because some big registrars are already our competitors in domaining for traffic.

So, do you still find traffic on newly expired domains nowadays?

I still find good tasted domains.
Some have traffic like 50 views/month or more and good CTR and when properly optimized they pay for themselves... but I am not after traffic, just good, usable domains. There are many decent 2-word combo available.
It's not uncommon for a domain to be tasted by one dropcatcher then released and picked up by another who will keep the name. Each dropcatcher has its own perfomance criteria. Even a domain with 20 views/month can sustain itself is the CTR is OK

.org was so easy to snap in 2005 then until yesterday I tried to bulk register .org's and noticed that almost ALL drops were re registered thru enom all with whois privacy. Those domains will stay with them for 4-5 days then release those that didn't bring in traffic. I am thinking that there's a very small chance or almost nothing left there that has some few traffic.

I dont think registrar should be in the business of drop catching . . . esp domain tasting
