Looking for gem on expired domain name

There are about 90,000 domain names deleted each day. That is a large number of domains you would have to traverse to look for gems that you might be interested in registering. If you do this by trying to register domains one by one, you will give up quite quickly.

Thus, you need to have a plan to do daily searches for expired domain names.

First thing  you need to do is to find bulk sources of expired domain names. I find the expired domain empire software lists is doing well to serve on this purpose. But of course, there are many others software in the market can perform such task as well. Normally, the websites filter the bulk lists of expired domains by date and alphabetically, some also provide a feature to filter lists by the length of character.

Once you filter out your bulk list of domains, you should move over to Moniker, EuroDNS or some other registrar and surf through their bulk registration tool. Then select and copy a list of domains from your bulk expired domain source website.

After copied, paste the list of domains into the Moniker bulk registration tool. Some lists might need cleaning up before you can register them in bulk. Click the register button to filter the list. (Note: the reason you doing this is that most probably all expired domain lists have already been snapped up by domain speculators. So it is safe to do the registration with a bulk tool. In any case, even if all domains are available, you can still able to empty your cart after you confirm which domains are available. )

The next step is copy the available domain names returned by Moniker’s into a txt file. Repeat the above process. After some time you will have compiled a huge list of expired domain names that are available to register.

So now you have a filtered list of expired domain names which are available to register. Most of these domains are available for a good reason - they are just not good enough to register. Anyway, some of these domain names might turn out to be quite ok.
By then your next step involves visually filtering your txt file. See whether you can spot a domain name which makes sense, contains cool keywords or just strikes you right away. The visual filtering process may take you about 5 to 20 minutes.

Cut these domain names from your txt file, open a new txt file and paste them into it - your expired domain short list.

Once your visual filtering is finish, you will have two txt files. One contained your shortlisted domains and the other contained all the available domains.

Remember, before you ditch your long list of available domains, run the tool like the
Link Popularity Checker to check whether any of the domains have existing links. You might
find that some domains, although ugly, have quality backlinks which worth for registering.

As for your shortlist of domains, you can run it through the link popularity check tool to assist you to make decision on which to register.

In further steps to check backlinks, you can use tool like WordZe to check how popular after the domain keywords are popular amongst web users. This may help you make up your mind which of your shortlisted domains you should register.
