I can see a number of these getting picked up - there a few others I'm surprised they accepted the high reserve and can't see selling because of it. What do you think?

Thanks for sharing Dtagr... rep added.

Are you using a bulk tool / script to garner the stats (I sure hope so!)

Rob

 

[whitebark]

Yeah, hope you are not doing that manually!

You mean there's another way?!?!?!

Just for you iphonegames.ca is dropping this week. I didn't include it because there aren't many search stats for it, but it sounds up your alley.

Seriously, anybody know a good program for drop lists?:lol:

Hehe, a bit of PHP or ASP, depending on whether your flavour is LAMP or IIS... combined with some basic knowledge of SQL queries...

Thanks - appreciate the lookup, it's a bit too niche for our portfolio for now

Cheers,

Sept 09,2009 TBR

One note to begin with, when I made my initial scan of the TBR there were only 3400 names on the list not 4003 as there are currently. Consider this list to be incomplete.

Not a teriffically strong drop this week particularly in comparison with the week before.
Other notes:
-I don't always check search stats on dictionaries. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. No rhyme or reason to it, strictly whim.
-Where I have typed "Quick Sale" or Quick Flip", that's exactly what I mean. Regardless of the search stats, there should be plenty of endusers willing to buy that name. Just don't expect more than low $xxx.

This weeks winner is:
dietbooks.ca - 60500,2900,$1.81/There are names with higher search stats but this one is clearly product related and for a product that is in very high demand. There are 5 pages of sponsored ads for selling to and less than 1 million direct competitors at google.ca if you wish to develop.

This week's "Dropsie" goes to:

FampusPlayers.ca - TBH I could have named any one of over 350 absolutely horrible typos and name squats.Examples being"familoy,futresho,theweathernetweork,canaddiantire", et al. But I can only pick one. I'm not knocking typos in general, but as a domaining strategy featuring .ca's it's clearly fail.

If you want the adult stats PM me.

 

[whitebark]

Slow week this week. I only went for a few and got only one outright - another provincial expired domain - still don't know the traffic as it's not yet in my account to change the dns!

y2 was at $454 last I looked. Probably will finish out at $1XXX I would guess.

 

[Steven]

A little update:
I've backordered a relatively unpopular .ca domain using pool.com

It looks like someone that does not seem to operate its own drop catching service has caught it.

-> greatnames.ca inc
is it a big company? :S

I'm so disappointed at pool.
It dropped today and caught by someone, and it still says Pending drop :td:

After waiting a month anxiously for the particular domain, pool has failed me.

[leegor]

Do you guys park .ca domains? If so where?

Thanks

 

[whitebark]

Thanks

Fabulous.com and parked.com

 

[baxter]

Bodis and Parked :D

 

[leegor]

Fabulous.com and parked.com

Thanks, and how do they do compared to .com's?

Let's say an average keyword .com vs. an above average keyword.ca

I know they're hard to compare but are the .ca's worth the investment for parking alone?

 

[whitebark]

Well Mike from Fabulous has said they prefer Canadian/American and European traffic for a reason - it converts. .ca's get about 30-40% US traffic so all is good. I see about that level on both parked domains and developed .ca's. A .ca will also give you a boost in google and bing when people select search "pages from Canada". If your plan is only to flip .ca's - that's a bit of a problem - our market is much smaller and with the residency requirements it's a double whammy.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I use whypark but nothing to brag about is easy to use and some pages get indexed,not sure if i like it is duplicate content as same stuff appears on other websites.Anyways got an offer of 100 bucks for This name a .ca today I should jump on it or what

 

[leegor]

No Way!! Dont sell

Yappy is way too nice a name to brand. If your kids are clothed and fed then hold out for more dough. $750 firm at least.

I could see this name leading a national marketing campaign while you and your wife are out enjoying a nice $100 dinner for two.

 

[mis_chiff]

Has anyone tried BIDO for selling .ca's?
If so, how did it go?

I guess I should have asked first :red:

I just submitted 3 for auction, going through the voting process,
wondering what are the chances they will get seen?

Not sure enough Canucks will see it - but then it is always worth a try!

 

[cmason]

Looking at the history on the Bido site, I see two domains that have gone to auction - not a bid for either. MBADegrees is a decent name, I would say, but the other 5HTP doesn't make a lot of sense in my opinion.

From what I can see with the filter there are no .CA auctions pending. I would definitely use Bido to acquire .CA's though and it would be great to see some LLL.ca's on the site to test the waters.

That was my concern also...

I couldn't see any pending .ca auctions either...or any completed.
I'm not having much luck searching around though...

Where does one find the current list of domains needing votes?

When you are on the main page you will see a bunch of tabs. These tabs bring up those lists and the filter text box works beautifully!

Thanks been trying to find that

I just saw one of mine but it doesn't have a Thumbs up or a Bid Icon
all I can see is Accelerate ... have I missed a step?
There doesn't seem to be a Vote option, or is that just how I see my own?

Sadly you can only vote on your own - hehe! You may notice a few votes on your domains now...

You were able to find them? ...that's great thanks :tu:

At least I know they are visible now.

It'll be interesting to see how they turn out if they complete
the process. Maybe then some LLL's and NNN's
