đ Domain Discoveries #5: Yachts, Christians, and AI Domains /w Juice
the upcoming week's BEST domains at auction.
Hello from a very rainy day here in northern Vermont.
Itâs been chilly and feeling like fall, but I think summerâs coming around again the back half of August.
Things have otherwise been quiet. Working on some new things (more on that below) and just being generally⌠watching domainsâhavenât bought too much recently.
WBU? Hit reply and tell me some stuff youâve bought recently, Iâm always curious to hear about what people are buying. :)
News and Updates
Fractional Director of SEO Service
I announced this in my Tuesday newsletterâIâm offering some high-level consulting spots (mostly advising, not doing a bunch of in-the-trenches work) to people that need some SEO strategy, and have a team or do it themselves to get the actual work done.
If youâre interested you can read more about it hereâfirst come first served, two spots left (then you get hit with the Waitlist + price increase).
Letâs go!
Might F-Around And Broker Some Domains
Iâve recently worked with a domain brokerage to both help people sell their domains AND sell some domains to the right audience, as well as acquiring their Forever Brand.
So if you:
have some premium names youâre looking to sell, or
have some names with SEO juice you wanna move, or
are trying to acquire a specific domain name
Hit reply and holler at me. I can probably help.
If you hit me with some real low quality names, though, Iâm gonna be honest with you, so if youâre not bringing the heat prepare to be hit with the truth stick. I wonât be a dick about it or anything, just not gonna pass your domains along if I donât think theyâre gonna sell.
But yeah, holler at me. Letâs sell/buy some domains, baby!
Domain of the Week
LiveYachting.com
DR 37, 1.2k RD
This thing is ranking for hundreds of yacht keywords even as it expires (the absolute BEST indicator of future success):
I guess if youâre going to build a site and spend your time competing with competitors, spending your SEO capital on ranking for $$$$ YACHT keywords is probably a good move.
Plenty of big authority and niche relevant backlinks here (like from YachtWorld.com, which gets 1M organic visits/mo and Boats.com).
Used to be: a site that listed yachts for sale?
A great pick-up, and bidders agree! Currently a bit under $10k with a few days to go.
Domains With Juice
ICOBench.com
DR 71, 2.7k RD
This fucking guy againâŚ
In August 2022 ICOBench finished up at GoDaddy Auctions with a face-melting $101k. The site proceeded to then doâŚ
Absolutely nothing. Or at least, nothing my half-assed 5-minute search could find. Only two pages indexed, ranking for a COUPLE of keywords. Someone spent $101k to park this thing at GoDaddy for a year.
Galaxy brain move or�
Anyway, I couldnât find anything, but if you know of how someone bought this for six figs and did something cool with it that I missed, LMK. Genuinely curious.
Currently $23k
UrbanChristianNews.com
DR 32, 1.41k RD
Ranking for 716 KWs.
Not to be confused with SUBURBAN christian news⌠one assumes.
Price is nutsâ$13K+.
Thatâs the power of a powerful, niche-relevant link profile on an aged domain. Damn!
SkinnyBitch.net
DR 31, 1.69k RD
Memorable domain, I guess!
Ranking for a couple of hundred weightloss/supplement related KWs:
Could be a good pickup if youâre already invested in this space.
Keep an eye on trademark issues: I did zero searches for that.
PomegranateCafe.com
DR 33, 577 RD
Ranking for some KWs. The brand name has almost 2k searches in Ahrefsâa good sign (unless thereâs more than one Pom cafe, then⌠eh).
Iâve seen some blogs built upon restaurant websites absolutely kill it. This could be oneâŚ
Domains You Could Build A Brand On
JobStar.com
A solid 2-word brand you could build a job board on.
If you do, bit of advice: specialize that shit. Donât try and build Indeed or Monster unless youâre ultra-well funded (in which case, call me, dawg. Maybe I can help lol).
Genom.com
Yeah itâs Genome spelled wrong, but now you can properly brand, trademark, and differentiate yourself.
I can tell you that I picked up Molecul dot com and sold it for a nice tidy sum earlier this year. Same deal.
MedicalConferences.com
Straightforward. I can tell you from experience that conferences get hella links. Buy this, put together a digital only conference, collect some amazing links, and then redirect to your medical site or whatever (or keep throwing conferences for $$$).
Could be a good directory site as well.
AthleticShop.com
Simple, straightforward ecom play. Boring, not an amazing brand, but simple > anything else sometimesâŚ
BeekeepingSupplies.com
Same, except for with beekeeping.
Would love to have a beekeeping shop. Really feel like Iâm making the world a better place.
MORE BEESE FOR ALL! BEES R FRENDS.
Domains You Could Invest In
8385.com
Another NNNN with an absolutely mad price. If youâre into that shitâŚ
SunAI.com
Yeah, AI is so hot right now and âSunâ is never not a good brand. Probably not worth it unless you can either get or sell to Sun dot AI
Speaking of AIâŚ
Special: AI Domains With Juice
Including some AI domains with juice this week for auction at auction.ai.whois â AKA the official AI registrar.
If you donât know about .AI auctions, they run the last week/first week of every month. They all start at $120 or $135 or something, and some of these names go for absolutely ASTOUNDING prices.
Here are the few at auction worth mentioning (SEO-wise):
Toasty.ai
DR 52, 619 RD
Ranking for a couple hundred inconsequential keywords.
Used to be: video meeting platform.
Some decent tech links.
TheGrid.ai
DR 58, 292 RD
Some kind of music/crowd participation app.
Some more decent tech links but not as good as Toasty.
Into.ai
DR 28, 76 RD
Best brand on the list of names with juice (but not the best brand at auction: Blink dot ai is the best branded name at auction currently).
Are you Into AI?
Like that.
What it has in brandability it DOESNâT have in authority. Not a super impressive link profile, but not nothing eitherâŚ
Fuzzy.ai
DR 28, 222 RD
Solid tech-y backlinks, pretty decent one-word AI name.
Used to be: an API that makes AI and machine learning easy for developers.
Shitpost Of The Week

Thatâs it for this week!
Hope you found a domain here worth buying.
Remember to hit reply and talk domain-y to me.
Until next weekâŚ
