Here’s a list of the tools we discussed in Clubhouse on Friday.
I hosted three events on Clubhouse last week. It was fun to interact with familiar faces and new people I haven’t connected with before. (If you’re new to Clubhouse, please follow me @andrewall.)
On Friday, Shane Cultra and Adam Strong joined me for “10+ tools for domain name investors.” It was packed with great domain investing tips. A few people in the room asked if we could provide links to the tools, and I promised to follow up with a blog post.
Below are the tools we mentioned in our Clubhouse room on Friday. The tools themselves are great, but I’m not going to divulge a couple of the other great tips from the room in this post. Next time, you’ll just have to be there 🙂
ExpiredDomains.net – free, robust tool for searching domain name inventory for sale
DotDB – find out which TLDs a domain is registered in
NameBio – domain sales database (gave some great tips for how to search better)
Whois tools – DomainTools, DomainIQ, Whoisology – important for looking up historical ownership records
Archive.org Wayback Machine – See how a domain was previously used and find contact details for the owner
Estibot – not just appraisals, also end user finder, domain parser, etc.
Keyword and SEO tools – Ahrefs, Keywords Everywhere, SimilarWeb
Trademark searches – Trademarkia, Trademark247
Github search results – Especially good for finding popular terms with the tech crowd
Also mentioned: Oneword.Domains, LeanDomainSearch.com, NameWorth, Passive Sales Checker, Crunchbase, OpenCorporates
Another great domain tools are to follow DomainInvesting.com and the DomainKIng.com aka http://www.ricksblog.com…………... and not listen the rest like Shane Cultra and Adam Strong-no idea who they are.
These are the free tools I use to organize lists of names:
For a very robust cleaning/stripping (without changing order of the list (WCOL)):
http://www.ohashi.us/domaincleaner/index.php
For example, you can “select all” and “copy” an entire page, set at 500 total listings, at GoDaddy and clean.
For updating list(s) to alphabetical order or comparing two lists, click on “Text Tools”:
https://www.webtoolhub.com/default.aspx
For very basic info on up to 500 names (registrar, date created and expires, and nameservers (WCOL)):
https://www.bulkseotools.com/bulk-whois-lookup.php
For those whom use the Bulk Upload Tool at NameWorth, the WebToolHub List Cleaner “Reverse Sort (Z-A)” will really come in handy.
Your own list of “premium domains” is a perfect example that all free advice should be taken with a grain of salt.
