GoDaddy backorder - Any good?

[v5x]

This is my first post on the forum, so... hi!

Regarding the godaddy backorder - has it EVER successfully captured a half decent domain for anyone?

I more or less have put a backorder on every few days and still no luck. 'backordered was not captured successfully'.

It's a double-edged sword: you'll probably only win names that are held by GoDaddy, and, even when you do, they'll go into TDNAM auction. So, I would advise against GD backorders.

I did win a drop with them on a dictionary-word.com, but it was a while ago and I doubt the competition for the name would have been fierce.

Their backorder is very bad.

They keep failing my backorders everyday and all the names get grabbed and parked @ Pool.

you cant expect a GD backorder to compete against pool and snap!

GD backorders have caught me alot of LLL.us, so im happy enough with them

LLL.us are going to TDnam expired auction. isn't it?

I have 1 backorder that hasn't caught any name yet. It's been like a year since I had it.

I had one backorder credit which failed to catch 2 domains.

The third domain I tried to catch was actually caught and traffic tested for a few days, then dropped. GoDaddy then was able to secure the domain. It was a waste of money, in my opinion.

hehe you obviously dont understand how a GD backorder works...

I had tried 20 times with my 1 single credit.
never worked for me tho, even the domain was going to dropped from gd herself.

I have only used backorder on two oscassions and it did not work.

they are good for not so hot names - If you don't want let somebody to hand reg your name before you, use godaddy backorder They catched for me one of my favorite names

This is fairly true. If you want to get a name that isn't going to generate traffic and it is something you like just for personal purposes, then sure, use GoDaddy. But if you're willing to spend a lot of money on the domain name, it is going to auction at the big snappers.
