Fire Finds Available Domains with Google Rankings — Domains On

Service finds domains ranked in Google that you can register today.

I received a pitch for a fresh domain search service today.

Domains On Fire states it helps you find domain names ranked in Google that are either freely available or are dropping soon. It also helps you find high page rank domains, too (if anyone still pays attention to that).

I took the system for a test drive. Indeed, I did find a few domains you could register today that are still ranked in Google. There weren’t many, and the keywords aren’t high volume, but they were there. I also had to sift through a lot of domains that apparently used to have a Google ranking but no longer do.

Available domains with a Google ranking can have some value, but I don’t see much value in pending delete domains that have Google rankings. I used to make a mint buying expired domains that still had page rank or Google rankings. But then the search giant got smart and started weeding domains out of the search results when they expired. It’s easy for them to delete domains from the index that go through the full deletion cycle; they also aren’t bad at catching ones that go through a direct transfer following an auction.

I’m not sure if Domains On Fire will be very useful to domainers given the number of other power tools for searching expiring domains that are on the market. FreshDrop offers very good search features, and even lets you search for available domains with Google rankings for free.

Domains On Fire does show the actual keywords the domain ranks for, but this might not be enough to warrant the $47/month price tag. Still, the product is sold via ClickBank which has a generous return policy. It might be worth trying; you can always cancel and get a refund.
