Anyone thought about developing such a tool?

Hi, fellow domainers,
I wonder if any of you have thought about developing such a software that can automatically find out those names regged in other extensions but the .com version left available for reg?
That might be a lot helpful for us to reg some traffic names at reg fee.
Is this technically feasible? Thanks for your input.

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the States!

 

[OK]

feasible

Heh good word.

Yes that would be a fine invention but I doubt that it would go public. I dont think many domains have that status and those that do, the person who invents this magical script will probably buy them out himself.

Exody.com offers lists like this.

I think this would be a great script. If the .net, .org, and .info are registered, then in most cases the .com must be desirable.

nice service but I found their site to hard to read.

Yea, but I really found some when make my daily check, as one of my hobbies after work.
:yell:

Hi, the easiest way is to check with a register that sells many different extensions

Example - http://www.eurodns.com/search/index.php

hi,
how likely the .net owner would want to buy your .com domains?

I own http://dpsRealEstate.com , http://cdmRealEstate.com and http://BayAreasBestRealtor.com
I tried to contact the .net owners with the exact names, but they would not care
about the .com domains.

They don't need to care, cause I can get enough payout by the traffic they delivered to me.
I wish their .nets get more and more traffic, honestly.

Some funny things. dewimax.net is registered while dewimax.com is available.

It would be simple to write a script like this. You could probably pay a programmer $50 or less to get it done. There's lots of sites where you can post projects and programmers will offer you a quote as to how much it will cost you.

how much traffic do you think a .net can contribute to you?
and what is the best way to make money, do you park the .com or make PPC page?

It's not a bad strategy really. .NET's to always have type-in fallover traffic to the .COM. The problem I found was that most of the .NET's that had available .COM counterparts were undeveloped.

Well It depends on the traffic of the developed extensions.
I have a .com whose .org was developed however after a research I found the .org site was not populated, but still, I got 10-20 visits /mo.
I will first park it, if the clicks are low, I will then develop a similar contented site (only one page) with as much as adsense or YPN (if I have).

I used to get a list like that at localwhois.com, before domainsbot.com purchased them. I think they still offered it for a while, but I quit subscribing to that a couple years ago as it was fairly expensive.

As I have answered on DNF the most straightforward approach would be to run a query on the zone files direct.
