Time for a shameless self promoting blog and why not  I am proud of our product so thought it was time to share some love. As we all know times are changing as the years whip on by, no longer is it necessary to trawl pages and pages of of Google Search engine results to find websites containing lists of expired/expiring/deleted or dropped domains, only then to spend hours and hours transferring the data to spreadsheets and databases to to apply filters and and algorithms to extract domains of your choice… So wait for it.. wait for it.. drumroll  and yes here comes my shameless self promotion I am literally blushing as I write this, but seriously here at Expired Domains we have created a tool that does all of this work for you and so much more.

1. Yes this search engine provides current and comprehensive list of expired domains but additionally each day keywords and search terms are analyzed to automatically pull out one word, and two word domains from the thousands of others  that are added on a daily basis, these are real words that are could be names, places, activities and business’s making it so much easier for you to identify those truly valuable domains. Honestly they now jump out at you from the landing page screaming to be bought!

More filters and search options are included in this tool to identify key domains, with access to all of the premium tld’s and cctld’s having many filter and search options is crucial to successfully finding expired domains in a timely manner before they are snapped up in this highly competitive space.

So come check out our site and see for yourself what hundreds of others already have – yes the secret is nearly out! Expired Domains  your new destination for finding expired/expiring and dropped domains  in 2015. Phew I have finally stopped blushing, it must be the English in me that was taught not to boast!

Perusing over recent visitor feedback it strikes me that one of the most frequent requests is the addition of the functionality to down load and export our list of expired domains. As I sit here and ponder these requests I must admit I am a little confused…. The central theme of our expired domains tool/search engine is the embedded ability to slice/dice and analyze the millions of domains that we have on the site iteself without the need of an excel spreadsheet. We have added many filters which can be used against multiple search options which we felt met all of our customers needs but still we frequently receive requests to export the data..

Ok so feedback please am I missing something?  Coming from an analytical and accounting background I LOVE spreadsheets, yes I am the geek who color codes my tiles and fonts, I can do v look ups in my sleep and yes I once even preferred to write letters in spreadsheets… But with all that said I think I have moved on and really am stuck on why there may be this requirement based on the functionality this site provides?

With all that said as I have said in the past customer feedback and comments  provides the roadmap for new additions and releases so please join the conversation and let me know what  I am missing, I am intrigued and eager to debate this subject!

On another note Happy New Year – I am excited to see what 2015 will bring to the world of all things domain, last year was a busy and exciting one for many insiders within the industry with the release of the new TLD’s, but the main takeaway really was that they failed to make a lasting impression on the general buying public. Though many of the extensions performed way below analysts expectations with my marketing hat on I still think we have to wait and see before we can judge their true overall success in the industry and I don’t even think we will have an accurate gauge in 2015, Rome was not built in a day and with these new TLD’s we are truly changing the mindset of the general population, this will be Marketing and adoption by osmosis and may take years to truly measure… So if 2015 is not going to be about the new TLD’s what can we expect for the year ahead?

In the meantime a great way to start the New year would be to pick up some cool expired/expiring domains so go check out our expired domains tool at www.expired-domains.co we have thousands of new domains added everyday.

Tis the season to celebrate expired domains!

So we have been busy the last few weeks adding some fabulous new features, firstly to start off with for those of you that have not already seen or used our word matching feature come to take a look.. Our search engine now matches thousands of domains as close as you can get to any word that you choose to search upon. It is a pretty cool and unique service that we hope you will like and find useful, especially when you are seeking a very specific domain/domains associated with a word/place or name.

Our second new feature is the addition of the sign up and login functionality, you will find the icon in the top right hand corner of the homepage. The benefits of signing up will enable you to receive automatic updates when new functionality is added, become a part of our member community and have the opportunity to grow and improve our service with your exclusive input and feedback and last but not least in the future this will enable you to manage your settings and preferences on the site.

Once again we would like to say a big thank you to all of our users and customers, we have had a phenomenal year here at www.expired-domains.co and are looking forward to great things happening with your help in 2015!

Come check out the millions of expired domains we have available today www.expired-domains.co

Since it has almost been a year since I took my first leap into this massive and diverse industry I thought now would be a good time to take a look at what I have learnt and what I am thankful for all things domain. I entered this world without any prior knowledge about the real inside workings about buying, selling and even renting domains. Yup I had absolutely no clue what TLD stood for and I remember vividly the  first blog I read about talked about something called Doughnuts of all things…

From what I can gather 2014 has been a really monumental year for the domain industry and not just because our site has now over 22 million expired domains in our database and is continuing to grow, but due to the  unprecedented release of the new TLDs never before has so many new domain extensions been released into the MarketPlace over such a short period of time. Reaction across the domaining community has been mixed and the success rate of these domains has been erratic depending on specific TLD’s. But with over 100,000 .club registrations already one thing I think we can all be thankful for is that with the release of all the new TLD’s the domaining industry is more accessible to the general public than ever.

I am personally thankful to this crazy world of expired domains for enabling me to learn more about my passions, I quickly learnt the lifecycle of a domain is way more complicated than some of the big commercial Registrars like GoDaddy would have you believe, I have literally spent hours studying a domain through creation to dropping and then  back round again. I now know the difference between Registries and Registrars, I know what ICANN stands for and yes I even know what a DropCatch service is. So this all leads me to the to the first thing I am thankful for from the Domain Industry and that is KNOWLEDGE – I have learnt so much that I never knew and am continuing to learn everyday – thank you for resonating with my inner geek!

The second aspect of all things domain that I am thankful for is enabling me to grow my existing love for all things SEO, purchasing a good domain is really only the start, if you wish to use your domain to grow your business and online presence, there is so much that must be considered from an SEO perspective that is many times overlooked.. Do I have good backlinks or bad ones? Is the Penguin algorithm going to penalize or reward this domain? Shall I buy an EMD or shall I just stick to .com domains as I have heard your SERP will do better if you do? Is Google’s PR still relevant and why haven’t they updated it? Where and how do I access the Whois data for a domain I am looking to buy? All of these areas and so much more I have been able to read, blog and learn about and yes I am a geek.

Thirdly I am thankful for data! As a self professed bad accountant, I have always had a natural propensity to find myself and my career leaning towards the study of data and what it tells us. Our site www.expired-domains.co contains so much information from the 100,000 + domains that expire on a daily basis to the traffic we receive from Google, Bing, Twitter, Facebook from all over the world. I have learnt the technicalities of how data can be scalable, and searchable, how it can be available to the mobile community as well as the desktop user. To the data I glean from the emails and comments of our customers – I am thankful for all of it.

Last but not least I am thankful that this joint endeavour has enabled me to work with my husband, he has taught me more than he realizes, I have learnt to be more patient than I ever thought capable of but best of all we have created this together and it continues to grow – thank you expired domains!!
