Research tools before you buy deleted domains

[RichardMoog]

Hello,

I'd like to know what tools you use to research deleted domains before you buy them.
I think about PageRank,History,Age,Google Ban etc etc.

Thanks for letting me know.

Regards,
Richard

Some tools I use are.

Estibot.com - Good for data, but ignore the final valuation price
NameBio.com - Similar Sales
TDVR.com - LLLL.com Similar Sales
NameDroppers.com - See what other domains are regged with keywords
Google Keyword Tool / Google Trends

also use the cache:yourdomain.com on google.com to see if it's real pr with content and not just redirected.

Came across this thread trying to get some info on NameDroppers.com as it seems it has not done an update on data in almost a year.

Anybody know what is happening?

Thanks for sharing!

I have not had a chance to try them (life is a little extra crazy now) but look forward to putting them to work.

A while back I developed a list of over 65 different checks to do a domain background check on any domain. Had that process automated via DNProtect a few years ago when that service was live. Those checks use most all of the tools mentioned--but there are a few new ones I'll check out.

But for deciding whether or not to renew a domain I own, it's fairly limited: traffic to it the past year, whether I've had offers (automatic renewal if that's the case), and the number of whois lookups on that domain. My preferred registrar(s) give me that data (how many have looked up the whois for the domain).

Hi Richard,
When checking deleted domains, I rely on multiple tools to assess key factors such as:

Archive.org for past content and usage

DomainAgeTool / Whois for domain age

SpamZilla or DomCop to analyze backlinks and spam history

Google search (site:domain.com) to check for deindexing or bans

Ahrefs / Majestic to review backlink quality
