Search filter finds domains that otherwise might not be on your radar.
GoDaddy Auctions has launched a “Hidden Gems” search for all users.
Hidden Gems shows domain names that have been searched for availability on GoDaddy within the past year. The idea is to surface domains that might not be on buyers’ radars because of traditional metrics, but could still have value.
The company launched the search filter a couple of months ago for a portion of its users. It then went away before returning for all users today.
To access Hidden Gems, click on the “Advanced Search” filter and then look under “Top Picks.”
This filter can be combined with other filters, such as choosing Closeouts or Expiring auctions, to find names.
When I tested Hidden Gems a couple of months ago, I found it useful for surfacing domains I would have overlooked. But you also need to be careful. The threshold for including a domain is that it received just one search; many of these appear to be people typoing a name. The list does not show how many times the domain was searched.
Good Tip! Thank you so much.
