Statistician, Data Miner, and Text Analyzer Moving Into Domaining. Any Advice?

[allaboutdomains]

Given my skill set is in doing anything data intensive, is there an approach to domaining where my skills might be a good fit?

In the past, I have built very fast web crawlers for finding expired domains for the seo industry and have sold thousands. So, I am very familiar with keyword analysis, back links, moz metrics, whois, zone files, spam checking (ahrefs, archive.org), large databases, using predictive modeling to determine if a domain is likely to be spammy.

Now, I am interested to see if my experience can be used in domaining (outside of crawling for expired domains).

Any advice would be appreciated.

These skills are certainly helpful, but you are not alone.
Also, rather than sell the domains, you could keep them and milk them for PPC traffic.

Makes sense. My skill set is a big value add in the seo world but perhaps not so much in domaining.

Understanding I'm not alone do you have any other recommendations for a path to pursue? Numerics? Short domains? Keyword domains? Branded? Drop Catching?

I tend to avoid PPC because I'm not fond of building out sites but you are right that there is money there.
