The BEST Handreg Tool Around!

[DomainBFF]

Tired of the constant "Is Handregging Dead" debate?
Well I've got 2 words for you: It's Not
​

When I first started out domaining, I was trying everything I could to hand register domains with GoDaddy coupons that I could resell for a profit.

Like most other domainers I turned to ExpiredDomains.net and spent hours at a time sifting through all the deleted domains looking for a gem or two that I could reg. I registered a few names every day or so, but I wasn't making any sales.

The problem?

Using tools like ExpiredDomains is great for many reasons, but not handregging. Essentially all you're given is a list of trash that has already been picked through.

1. Most domains expired because they have been deemed worthless by the owner. Likely it was either listed and never received any offers, was used for spam/blackhat and penalized by Google, or was never developed/has no value.
2. The domains that don't fall under these 3 categories get snatched up by drop catchers before you ever even get a chance to hand register them. If you aren't familiar with drop catching, it's extremely competitive.
3. Now all that's left is thousands and thousands of "chickens**t" domains. You may find a gem here and there, but you've got to beat the thousands of other domainers like yourself to the punch.

The Solution

I wanted a tool that I could use to find quality domain names that weren't already being picked through by everyone else. I spent days finding and trying different tools, and really liked namebot.com. I used this and some similar tools for a few months, but I still wanted:

• More control over keywords
• More results and keyword combinations to choose from
• More reliable results (domains always showing as "available" but actually unavailable)
  
• Exclusivity

So instead of wasting all this time finding and trying available domain tools, I decided the best way to find what I was looking for was to put together my own tool.

Over the past 6 months I've continuously tweaked it and added options to find exactly what I was looking for, and it's been the best, most all inclusive tool I've come across.

It's perfect for brandables, geo domains, two keyword domains, trending/future domains, and really just about any type of domain.

I've made $XX,XXX in profit from hand-reg domains found using this tool alone

I have also compiled a "to-reg" list of thousands of hand-picked domains that I've found using this tool, and I use profits to register a few domains from the list each week.

While I'd love to register them all, I've become very strict with portfolio management, and have started investing more in premium aftermarket names - something I would have never been able to do without the profits I've made from handregs.

So..now what?

For a while I debated whether or not I wanted to invest in having this tool professionally coded and developed to monetize and market to the domain industry. It became too much of a hassle and I couldn't find the time to balance it with the SEO agency I own, so nothing ever came of it.​

Instead, I've decided to share my tool as-is specifically with the Namepros community for only $10!
**As a bonus, I will also share with you via Skype chat a few ways I use it to make the most profit and will help you out whenever you have any questions.**

• Send $10 via Paypal to [email protected]
• Leave your email you would like it sent to and your NP username as a note and I will email you a copy to download ASAP.
• Or post here, send a message, or add me on skype to learn more

TESTIMONIALS​

I decided to share it as-is with 3 domainers I keep in touch with to get their opinions, and they loved it. After letting them play with it for a few weeks, I asked if charging $10 for it was reasonable, and each of them agreed "$10 was too low"! I am going to ask them to leave their reviews here, but would like to hear from others in the community.

I'm messaging some trusted members of the community to see if I can find 3 of them that will review a free copy.

Lastly, I'm giving away 4 free review copies to the first 4 to respond to this thread.

[venturefile.com]

I will grab a review as well. Would like to see what this can do and if you can prove me wrong with my post about hand regs from the other thread

 

[Nattydomain]

If you are still doing the review I will try this puppy out

 

[DomainBFF]

The review copies have all been passed out and sales are rolling in already!

This will be the best $10 investment of your domaining career, so get it while it's hot!

 

[Nattydomain]

Ok so I told him I would review in detail on Thursday but had some time today to look it over.....WOW this is a GREAT help for doing hand regs.

It is a list of info that you can use with your favorite keywords. You can spend hours going through this and seeing what is available. I dont want to give to much away for people who are looking to get into the domain biz IF used correctly this can def get you some gems.

I have a full list now of domains to reg but not enough Godaddy coupons to us. I am going to try some test with the domains I reg via this method to see if I can build up a nice bankroll to use towards future domains.

I can see this tool honestly helping a lot of newbies and pros alike. Now as long as we dont go after the same keywords we will all be ok

GREAT JOB! and spend the $10 now to earn more down the road!

First off I was able to get a review copy from Cody "TotalWebsites" and listed below are my thoughts:

-The tools provided are quite amazing and save a tremendous amount of time.
-The information is laid out very nicely with instructions and a video to show how to effectively use the tools
-It works for Brandables, GeoDomains, And So much more.
-Comes with past sales data to help find trends and as well show you what has sold in the past
-I could literally spend hours finding great domains instead of spending hours and not finding anything at all.
-This tool will save me so much time and effort and helps stir up your creativity.

Pros:
-Speed
-Options
-Time Saver
-Lots of Data

Cons:
-Up until now I have not found many if any negatives with the tool

Summary: If your looking for a tool that can help you find great domains that are available for registration fee and can be purchased for $3 or less this is a must have! I enjoyed the tool so much I decided to pay full price for the tool as I believe all good work should be rewarded...so I paid the $10 even though I got a review copy. Newbies, Advanced and Experts can really add a very powerful tool to their toolbox with this set of tools.

Rating: 100% and will become a tool I use daily!

Thank you again Cody for the chance to use the program and for sharing it with all us here on NP!

 

[DomainBFF]

Wow, those are some seriously quality reviews guys. Thanks a ton, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Maybe there is something I am not getting.

@Blake @Nattydomain
I went to look for name.com's old laboratory which appears to have gone away.. they had a geo search tool as well... but can you be more specific about what it is that you find so useful about this tool? I don't want to be negative (I always am) so I'm curious.

It seems to me that what you are paying for is really someone copying 10,000 words / major geos into a spreadsheet and and concatenating 3 cells together in Excel and printing the results into 500 deep columns because this is the bulk search size at GoDaddy thus making it easier to copy.

So the tool itself, functionally, doesn't really have anything much to it other than a pre-loaded dictionary. The graft is done by a user and GoDaddy (via copying 500 domains at a time to the bulk tool) and then looking at the results. The user still has to make the effort to determine which Suffix/Prefix they want (searching for 5000 suffixes on 10,000 words is too much).

It's very similar in concept to something like NameTumbler.com and doesn't have any of the nifty features that I would expect to make it really useful... you should be able to have a preset set of suffixes/prefixes or replacements that you want to apply to key words (almost the reverse of what it offers). DomainNameSoup.com for example will take a name and do phonetic/similar ending domains.

So basically - you're paying for a tool with preset words, pre-sized columns (plus whatever manual pruning and thought went into it).
If I purchased the tool, the very first thing I would do is to vastly simplify and reduce the overall combinations and focus on the the key ones and then integrate it with an expiry date checker .. that would be much more valuable. The opposite is also more useful which is the deconstruction of dropping names into components and filtering on desired results (but this is a hand reg tool.... I get it.. but dropping names are equivalent to hand regges imho)

I think it's perhaps worth $10 to someone as a starting point as I can see it as an initial time-saver for someone just starting out. It does provide a number of key idea words that people might not see in the real world but apply nicely to domains (especially top suffix/prefix). But it's vastly oversold as the best hand reg tool around. I'm sure there are hundreds of these things in the wild.

The first task for anyone using the tool is to go through all the words and laboriously remove all the ones that you're not every going to be interested in - I'm never going to register SomethingArtificialInsemination.com or ArtificialInseminationSomething.com. and then once that's done reorganizing the data again to save time (if you use GoDaddy vs whois script). It's pretty clear to me that I could slim this beast down significantly and not lose anything.

My biggest shock finding:

I am really quite surprised that people operating in the hand reg space don't already have this type of thing... what do you do? Type words in one at a time?!

<insert pop shock smiley>

Thanks for the preview. I hope this isn't viewed as overly negative - I've suggested some improvements ? I would not pay $10 for it but I'm not ever going to use it. This is the type of thing I would give away for free to people because I don't think it's worth it, really. Then again, I gave away drop scripts and long list of names that I think netted some individuals significant $$$ (oops). Perhaps it's just a different perspective that I have - I am pretty stuck in my ways most of which are doing nothing much and looking at the world that I look at it which isn't quite so simply codified

Default, everyone will have their own opinions on what they deem a valuable tool, which is why I gave out so many review copies, but that's unfortunate you feel this way!

In the OP I specifically mentioned that my reason for putting this together was to have something far more robust than the 2-3k words every single other similar tool is using and find domains that aren't being constantly ravaged through by the people who do use those tools. In my time using leandomains, impossibility, namebot, nametumbler and so on, I hardly ever came across domains I found worthy of registering. Now I find hundreds-thousands.

To slim it down would defeat the benefit and purpose of the tool entirely. I understand no one will ever want to reg a name with ArtificialInsemination in it, but there were 40,000 other valuable keyword possibilities prior to getting there. I rarely use the alphabetical pages, but one day I was trying to find a domain using the keyword "brand", and wanted the other word to start with a B. So I added this as just one of the many features the tool has, so that next time I came across a similar situation I could be looking at a list of 500+ available Brand+B keywords in under a minute.

The thing I really don't understand is where you said "you should be able to have a preset set of suffixes/prefixes or replacements that you want to apply to key words." Why in the world would you want that? The reason I've made so much money using this is because I can research and track the keywords/niches that are profitable, and once I add it to this I've got a list of about 1k domains to potentially reg.

If you missed where I gave the example of what I mean:

when I hand register a domain to resell, I look at past sales to find a popular keyword, and then attach it to all of the most popular suffixes. (I made a tool to simplify this, but believe me there are tons of good domains available out there.)

Here's an example of what I mean from a few days ago:

I saw that MerchantCard sold for $2,000, so I checked out other sales using the word merchant. I found that in the last year MerchantGuard sold for $3,000, MerchantSquare sold for $4,000, and MerchantConnection sold for $3,000.

So I used my tool to find what "merchant" domains were available and tried to find similar domains to ones that have sold in the past. One of the available domains was MerchantCube/com. It fit the criteria I was looking for, keyword+cube names have sold very well in the past, so I regged it for a whopping $1.99.

The only drawback I have with this tool, which is also why I'm just letting it go as is for $10, and the only reason I'm not pursuing further developing it, is that it isn't automated like I had planned. But there is not a method around that can do this efficiently. My tool used to do exactly what you said you would do, but it's so unbearably slow it hurt the tool more than helped and I removed the automation.

Domain Name Analyzer Pro charges $50 or something for their automated version and just yesterday I tried out the free trial. I was able to check 40,000 domains in GoDaddy before the tool had even crossed the 2,500 mark. So the aspect that you feel makes it worthless is actually the only way to use the tool efficiently.

 

[matrigaldo]

I'll review better this tool later today or at most tomorrow, had few busy days recently.
After a first sight i can see it's a extremely useful tool, especially for new domainers. However it's useful for experienced domainers too, it allows you to create huge lists of domains, most of them valuable, to check on any bulk whois checker (GoDaddy is the one suggested by the author , but of course you can use whatever you want).

I will review this tool better tonight, when i will have time to use it for a while.

 

[N-A]

Can anyone answer if this works using macros or functions/formulas to work?

In the OP I specifically mentioned that my reason for putting this together was to have something far more robust than the 2-3k words every single other similar tool

Robustness and Quantity are different things.. but help me understand the value. How did you determine which 10,000 made the cut?

In all your time making lots of money with this tool whats the spread of words or combinations that you used? Are they really spread or concentrated on specific phrases/words? When you used the tool how many names typically were returned and how many of them are always filtered manually after the fact?

Would you ever register something with abhorrence/abhorrent in it? Fullhouse? AsideFrom? Asphyxiation? These are on your list - I would remove them because they're irrelevant.

What makes this better than me using a quick script to try every word in the dictionary beginning with "B" or whatever criteria I wanted?

The thing I really don't understand is where you said "you should be able to have a preset set of suffixes/prefixes or replacements that you want to apply to key words." Why in the world would you want that? The reason I've made so much money using this is because I can research and track the keywords/niches that are profitable, and once I add it to this I've got a list of about 1k domains to potentially reg.

Basically take any keyword and stem it and add relevant endings. It's the stemming that is the challenge really.

For example take different endings -
I would want phoning but not phoneing.

It's not terribly important but it adds some flexibility. I think part of my confusion that I've rectified is that what you call prefix/suffix are actually where you would put the keyword and the provided dictionary are the suffixes - per your example.

1K names? and how did you narrow those down?

The only drawback I have with this tool, which is also why I'm just letting it go as is for $10, and the only reason I'm not pursuing further developing it, is that it isn't automated like I had planned. But there is not a method around that can do this efficiently. My tool used to do exactly what you said you would do, but it's so unbearably slow it hurt the tool more than helped and I removed the automation.

Please let me know if I summarize the usage correctly:

You come up with a niche [CLOUD]
You generate names (CLOUDA, CLOUDARTIFICIALINSEMINATION, CLOUDASPHYXIATION or ACLOUD, ARTINSEMCLOUD)
You cutnpaste 500 at a time through GoDaddy that spits out available names (say 1000)
You manually go through the 1000 and keep the good ones, say 50.


I'm just simply saying that you probably whittle the same 900 each time.
The efficiency benefits I speak of come from reducing the bulk because the most efficient operation is the one you don't do... this tool is really brute force approach. What you apparently don't see (or maybe you do) is that I think you whittle down the choices manually and very efficiently yourself because you recognize the good from the bad by eye.

This is a skill you've personally honed.. It's not automatic and it won't be for others. All you've done is simplified the process to get to working list with some simple excel functions.

Am I wrong?

Here's a question.
Would adding another 2000 words make an improvement to the tool ? Would removing 2000 words make it worse?

Domain Name Analyzer Pro charges $50 or something for their automated version and just yesterday I tried out the free trial. I was able to check 40,000 domains in GoDaddy before the tool had even crossed the 2,500 mark. So the aspect that you feel makes it worthless is actually the only way to use the tool efficiently.

I guess time is of the essence for you .. I'd much rather a tool run for 3hrs while I had a shower or took a nap rather than spend 20 minutes cut and pasting. I'm totally lazy. Though I waste time here (NP not this thread) when I could be doing something useful

Ultimately Would it be wrong to suggest that all this tool really provides is a list:

10,000+ words
500+ GEOS

That are then joined using a simple =CONCATENATE(prefix,FIXED KEYWORD, postfix) where the fixed keywords are 500 to a column to make it easier?

I didn't see anything much beyond that. Did I miss it?

The value HAS to be in the choosing of the FIXED KEYWORDs because that one formula there is pretty basic. So if you can explain how you arrived at those you might be able to sell me on the tool having more value?

 

[chandrakanth]

Looks an interesting tool. I want to review this. Will be waiting for your update op.

 

[venturefile.com]

I have to say that I like the tool very much and it has helped me find some nice domains which I have hand regged and will try to pitch to some end users.

defaultuser, the added words are just a base.. Not all of them are of use, but the good thing is that you can easily remove or replace the ones you don't like..

I give this one two thumbs up!

 

[matrigaldo]

I spent a lot of time reviewing this because i had to do an unexpected business trip and spent few days out.
Now i had the chance to test it for a while and must say this is a useful tool.
Basically it helps you to create some huge lists of generic domains just adding the prefix or the suffix of it.
This tool includes thousands of keywords automatically added (as prefix or suffix) to your word, so if you, for example, find a very profitable niche, you can just insert the niche's keyword on this tool, and magically you'll have thousands of domains (keywords, or geographics, also divided by letter) ready for availability checking.
Then you can use any mass whois tool to check all them, and find all the available ones.
Obviously you also decide the extension.

There is something making this a little tricky, when you try to find a list of, let's say using the word "computer" you would have a huge list of Computer* domains, but with not-related keywords sometimes.
It's not author fault, considering all the brandable names selling everyday with totally nosense word-combinations, it worths a gamble sometimes.

Purchasing this tool is an option many domainers should consider.
