Here are some good domain names you can order this week.
Back in the day, I did posts about what upcoming expired domain names to backorder. I haven’t done these in a while, but my recent post about selling domains on NameJet sent about 400 clicks to NameJet in 24 hours. That, along with some requests, made me think there’s some value to this.
For example, did you know that LegalTender.com was recently on a Sedo auction? I doubt it. Only three people bid in the auction.
With that in mind, I’m going to test bringing attention to domain names on expired and marketplace sites with auctions ending during the week. Hopefully these are ones you overlooked Depending on feedback, I’ll continue doing posts like this.
All of the domains on this list are aged and alternative versions of the .com have been registered at some point.
(Please see my disclosure about trademarks below).
SnapNames
YourArtist.com – I’m a fan of “your” domains like this.
HawaiiSecurity.com – security services are a big business. A good geo domain.
FairyCrafts.com – great brandability for a store selling whimsical gifts.
ElectionPoll.com – it’s timely.
NameJet
DogPros.com – a great brandable name for a dog site.
ForeclosureGuy.com – remember when foreclosures were all the rage? That time will come again. A 16-year-old domain.
TVparts.com – No one fixes broken TVs anymore, right? Guess again. 17-year-old domain, with many registered extensions.
NotebookBatteries.com – this is another name that might become less popular overtime as “notebook” becomes an outdated computer term, but it’s worth ordering at a good price.
UltimateCloset.com – closet organization is a huge business.
Uvent.com – Good play on the word “event”.
GoDaddy
WebDesignTools.com – There are so many web design tools out there now. Create a site aggregating them all, and join their affiliate programs.
CouponFun.com – great brandable for a coupon site.
SoHealthy.com – I like this one for a health blog, weight loss program or recipe site. Registered in 1998.
RefiSavings.com – great mortgage domain name.
Frowns.com – it has a negative connotation, but there’s some brandable value in this one.
TLDConsulting.com – Hmmm, domain name consulting?
SiteWorth.com – For a website valuation tool.
KidsCalendar.com – one of the most popular websites for parents in Austin highlights all of the upcoming events for kids and families. This domain isn’t related to that site but could be used for something similar. Reg’d 17 years ago.
GotHealthcare.com – lots of opportunity with the current healthcare requirements in the United States.
Disclaimer: I have not run trademark checks on any of these domain names. Buyers should consider doing so before placing a backorder.

This a great idea… until you highlight a domain I was hoping to snag lol.

@Andrew,
With links that don’t open in a new window, your readers leave after the first click.
That drastically reduces the likelihood that they’ll bid on multiple domains you’ve recommended. After leaving DNW and arranging their backorder / bid elsewhere, they’re unlikely to navigate back to DNW in order to continue perusing the list.
It’s something we’ve discussed before, but in this case it inhibits affiliate earnings for you.

I just noticed the same. Small detail but spot on.
Gary Yeardley says
I also noticed this. I’d add target=”_blank” to the href of all your outbound links.
Nice write up. Shame you didn’t mention selsa.com!!
Andrew Allemann says
Fair point on opening in a new window. Most browsers will let you CTRL+click to open in a new tab, but I’ll change that next time.
Tony says
Only 3 bidders for LegalTender.com but it got a frothy final price of $2,800.
Andrew Allemann says
It was just me and one other person above $600. After 30+ minutes of bidding I had to go.
Bill Sweetman says
@ Andrew, don’t forget that GoDaddy now has a great auction app that allows you to bid from anywhere on your smartphone or tablet. It’s called GoDaddy Investor and it’s for iOS and Android. Just sayin’
Andrew Allemann says
It is a great app. LegalTender.com was on Sedo, though.
Mark says
Good domain name picks.
Hope you continue to post your weekly picks.
As for links not opening in a new window, just a minor detail that can be fixed like you said.
Thanks for taking the time to post. Keep up the good work.
