The Numbers on Expired Domains — FreshDrop Analyzes

Service helps you find good expiring domains.

Expired domain catchers sift through reams of data to find the best expiring domains. Over the past couple months I’ve been test driving what may be the best data source for finding high quality expiring domains for the price: FreshDrop.

FreshDrop provides a searchable, easy-to-use interface for finding domains that meet your criteria. Looking for domains on TDNAM in Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Pinyin, Turkish, or Italian? Two clicks gets your there. Looking for four character domains or geo domains? Again, two clicks.

For each domain, FreshDrop gives a wealth of data. Among the more valuable data are Yahoo and DMOZ listings, Google search results, Google indexing, number of archive.org caches, and Alexa. It also shows the number of links from .edu and .gov domains, which are good for search engine indexing. (Note that this backlink data is the same data you pay $20-$40 for per domain at ShoeMoney Tools.) Another good feature: the number of domains in other extensions registered for the domain’s keyword.

Much of the data on FreshDrop is free. You can see most data for GoDaddy, Fabulous, Sedo auctions, and eBay domains for free. You can also see data on readily available domains for free. The same data is available with a $32.95 PRO subscription for Afternic, Pool, NameJet, and SnapNames. PRO subscriptions come with a free 10 day trial. Also, with a PRO subscription you get more data on domains counting Google search estimates and ad click prices.

Regardless of your data source for expired domains, FreshDrop is worth a look.
