I have been doing a little research to satisfy my curiosity on where Godaddy Expired Auctions end up, and also what big players may be contributing to the bulk of the bids.
I will be as transparent as possible on the process. The data from the sample can be made available via PM for anyone wanting to do their own due diligence. This is a work in progress and I am open to be corrected if anything is wrong.
To explain my methodology: I generate keyword domain list daily to comb through by using a software program I wrote to identify names with potential. Potential is gauged by using sales and inventory data and an algorithm. This is similar to what the big guys are using. I used this list as a "random" sample.
I had to do some special work to figure out what domains some people purchased since they don't seem to be changing their nameservers and since I can't access the GD whois. But this method I found is reliable.
So, in a nutshell - I picked my 2/26 list as the first to report on in this thread. My intention is to post at least a week of activity in all so we can extrapolate the results through days with varying quality/quantity of domains.
Keyword Domain Sample: 449 domains
Sold Domains: 119
