How's Snapname Been Doing For You?

[sleazy]

After having basically 10 snaps a month fail during the last 3 months, im getting pretty fed up. I know theres a lot more competition now, but has ANYONE gotten anything decent with snaps besides a name that no one else is really going for. Just wanted to see if im the only one. :p

Unfortunately you have become the rule rather than the exception. I am trying to use up the rest of the ones I have on mediocre names just to get them used before they expire and I am STILL having a tough time getting anything. They repeatedly lose to $8 NW bids (especially .orgs). Happened again today (and yesterday) but fortunately I had also covered my bases by making those $8 bids myself.

Forgive my ignorance .... What / Who is NW ?

NW = Namewinner

Thanks :o)

Had a look at name winners ... then realised that I already use them

HELP ... anyone seen a brain running about, mines missing

From my own experience I have had 3 snaps out of 4 fail in the last month. In one case was beaten by buydomains (no shame there), another was beaten by a $50ish NW bid and the third was beaten by a goddady backorder
They have definitely slipped. I don't know whether that is due to the increase in backordering services, the increased technology of the others services, or whether snapnames have just lost interest and are preparing for WLS.

Finally the streak ends, SnapNames got me a name after 2 or so months of trying. Pretty decent traffic name also with over $250 bid at NW and 3,000 linkpop..

Backordering and snapping domains is all luck pretty much.
