And one thing I never liked about TDNAM is that they hold on to your payment and release the name only after a week or two (giving a chance for the original registrant to claim it back).

And the real quality is now with namejet and snapnames exclusive.

Absolutely correct. This is of course written from my perspective. The domains I used to find being quality and good prices have since faded away, and as of late, just aren’t their anymore.

Some people consider some domain names overpriced, junck or otherwise and some consider them Diamonds.

The value is determined by the buyer.

Great post

I went from buying about 10 domains a day in the $100 to $700 range in 2007 down to about $300 a week now, or less.

I actually had developed a method at TDNAM that only worked there of buying profitable names. I did very well, but I have to admit things have changed to where the return now is not worth it anymore really. I just keep a third eye on it now as it is dying a slow death.

I also have found that the numbers are not as accurate as before. Lately I have found that many domains in the 15 to 30 unique range can be much higher than they report and the domains with higher traffic and coming in lower than they report - and I am talking about generics only, not expired traffic.

Im a former Godaddy Employee myself and although im quite aware of Godaddy’s late start in the registrar game, they typically have better quality domain names expiring per week. Although I have not run the zone files to see if certain domains were being withheld, I am considering it now.

I also find the traffic numbers to be fairly accurate. The problem is most of this is junk backlink traffic. True gems with type in traffic on tdnam are rare.
