Yep, that’s an observation I wanted to see stated before I spent a half hour perusing the site. You are absolutely correct and Tan answered perfectly.

SEGUE: Your statement also goes to the theory that .org domains are the second most valuable domains from a “public recognition” factor, because so many “educational/govt/charitable” sites use and promote their .org domain names.

@ Stephen – I have to confirm that from an SEO perspective, it would be nice to pick up a site that already has incoming links…especially from government/edu domains.

Hi Tan,

Very nice answer, and all your points are well-taken. I’m looking at your site and considering it as a part of my own and my client domain analysis process.

Much success to you!

Stephen,

Great comments. I think strictly speaking from a ppc domainers perspective you do have valid points.

What makes FreshDrop so powerful is that it provides numerous analytics for all types of necessities to a wide range of domain purchasers.

Visitors with an seo perspective in mind love the fact that we have analytics on page rank, domain age, directory listings, and backlinks because they know that the a domain will list higher with google with these characteristics straight off the bat!

Visitors coming from a affiliate background appreciate the analytics that may determine higher traffic that may convert into affiliate commission sales.. since many of these domains are recently dropped and still have a good deal of residual traffic.

Domainers appreciate the fast and accurate searches for keyword, keyphrase, or niche specific domain names. Just the other day, i purchased a domain from FreshDrop that within 3 days i had a $1000 offer on.

The fact of the matter is, if one is in the internet industry and looking to purchase a domain name, there is no other platform that comes close in matching the ease of use and rich powerful tools at your fingertips to purchase an aftermarket or deleting domain name.

Hope this helps and I do hope that you get to enjoy FreshDrop as much as the thousands of other members using the site daily.

Gee, it would be a grand celebration for Freshdrop if traffic and other data on a domain would actually convert to PPC revenue or other valuable conversion methods based on direct navigation. But, hasn’t the value of parking a domain dropped over 50% since a year ago? This information is almost moot now.

The most important value in a domain today is its keyword viability and your efforts to create a sticky brand from it. PPC is still holding on for dear life, but SE traffic is the key, and that’s going to come from your content, not necessarily from your domain. (This is not to address the 10,000 one word naturals that are already purchased and unavailable, or available for $1million +)

Maybe I’m missing something, or just trying to stir the pot. I’m checking out the site anyways!!! lol

This is the coolest tool I’ve seen come out in the last 6 months. I know some other companies have been working on similar ideas but the speed and filtering options FreshDrop offers are very impressive for an auction and drop aggregator.
