Domain Discoveries #4: A DR 72, Some Good Generics for Ecom, and More!

hello again.

FRIDAY!

I’ve got all the great names you should pay attention to this upcoming week. All names can be found at GoDaddy auctions.

They don't pay me for this shit, but they SHOULD. Somebody tell them.

News and Updates

Not much to share, been a busy week full or writing stuff and also job hunting. Interesting times…

Fractional Director of SEO (or whatever)

If you’ve got a business that you could use some SEO help with but don’t have a five-figure monthly budget for an expensive, award-winning agency, you might be interested in working with me. For significantly less I will help guide you/your team on what to do for those sweet sweet rankings.

And, bonus! I haven’t won ANY awards, so it’s very affordable…

I haven’t made a page for this yet, so just hit reply and LMK what’s up.

Twitter

I know it’s called X, and that’s a dope domain, but it’s quite a thing to throw away the surely tens-of-billions-of-dollars worth of equity of one of the worlds most well-known and recognized brands.

Anyway. You can follow me there. I mostly tweet sarcastic bullshit, but at least it’s a nice contrast to the super serious thread boi shit, right?

…right?

You can follow me @seanmarkey.

Let’s get into it…

Domain of the Week

GoldenWebAwards.com

DR 72, 1.8k RD

Huge authority, here.

Giving this one the domain of the week prize because: it’s highly adaptable to whatever dumb niche you’re in.

Just put together some categories with a Fiverr-made “Golden Awards” image and hand them out to your competitors or whatever to link back to the site in a PR blog post. Once you get some in-industry juice, 301 that shit to your main site and blow up the authority.

Also, the links to this one are older than God.

Which god?

ALMIGHTY POSEIDON.

Other Domains With Juice

NorthMCD.com

DR 25, 130 RD (ranking for 1,300 KWs)

Looks like it used to be… an Indian… hospital?

Not the greatest link profile but some .IN regional authority… if you’re in need of that.

Always a fantastic sign when a domain is ranking for KWs, tho…

ChangeDirection.org

DR 64, 1k RD

Looks like it used to be a site that focused on mental health needs.

Decent .org for a build out, and some absolutely bonkers links, like from Healthline, VA.gov and ALL of the big media sites.

I think it has been down for a while (which I used to think was a big deal until I revived a site that had been redirected for a while and upon publishing the site it popped back into the top 3 for the exact match KW). YMMV, do your god damned due diligence!

EDJSports.com

DR 52, 601 RD

Used to be: a sports analytics company.

The brand is very meh, but if you have a sports-related site (or betting on sports probably) this could be a very good pickup.

Just build it out, put a bunch of content on it, let is soak in the relaxing waters of Google’s index (as if), and then redirect that shit to YOUR site.

Easy peasy.

There weren’t a ton of names with juice I liked this week…

Remember to do your own due diligence before spending your hard-earned money. If you’re gonna throw away your money so easily just save yourself a couple of steps and give it to me…

Domains You Could Build A Business On

RingLight.com

A hot product. Sometimes generic names get shit on a bit because they don’t make great brands, themselves. But if you’ve got the exact match of a hot product and you can put a site together that ranks for said product (either with your own, dropshipping, affiliate, etc), buddy, you’re in business!

InsectRepellent.com

Samsies with the generic bit. A great place to go to buy your Insect Repellent. Just write 200 articles about insects and repelling them (“how to get rid of X,” “how to get rid of Y,” “what to do if you see X insect in your house,” etc.) and then sell your product.

BreakfastFood.com

The best kind of food.

Ron Swanson approved.

I like this domain, but not sure what you might build… or how you might monetize it. But use your imagination! Get paid to eat at breakfast diners!

LiveSlow.com

Yeah, fuck living fast, that shit is no bueno.

Live slow in the mountains of Colorado, on the beaches of Maine, in the countryside of Pennsylvania.

A great brand and rallying cry. One could build something legit on this name—I really like it!

Domains You Could Invest In

1789.com

It’s over $100,000 already, so maybe not... They say you make money on the buy, but what the fuck are you gonna build on 1789 dot com that will earn you back your money?

I think it’s a Chinese domaining thing—big value in some four-character, all-number .coms.

The last 15 or so NNNN dot coms are nowhere near that price:

Out of curiosity, I checked to see what other four-number domains sold for over $100k (all are dot com):

• 3377 - $101k

• 6500 - $120k

• 1992 - $110k

• 0007 - $172.5k

• 1515 - $121k

• 0123 - $252k

• 8181 - $225k

• 5432 - $148k

• 9595 - $180k

• 9555 - $102k

• 8788 - $106k

• 0060 - $120.8k

• 1001 - $100k

Interesting. The 3377 is the most recent, in 2022.

Of course there have been more sales than this, but these are just the ones that have been reported to NameBio.

Shitpost Of The Week

OH NO

That’s it for this week’s domain list.

Which one caught your eye? Hit reply and tell me. I’m nosy. I promise not to use that info to outbid you and try to sell that domain BACK to you.

But seriously all of these names are going for thousands of dollars. And I ain’t got bottle service money. I got “look at this old bottle I found when my yard flooded, do you think it’s worth anything” money.

So hit reply and say what’s up.

Until next Friday…
