    Does it exist? The "secret" domain.

    I was just wondering if there is a domain name that has never been registered just because no one in the biz thought of it but it would get
    100k a day type ins if someone registered it and put up a blank page.

    In theroy the name servers would monitor such a type-in and snag any name that got that many request, but it would probably be unethical for them to do that. If the name servers will not do that then maybe that domain is still out there and unregistered.
    Done.

      The only thing that is close to that is 'trend spotting' - keep an eye out for a news story, product etc that could develop into something big.

      Also think about what the big companies are doing - whats Apples next venture going to be for instance? iGPS or iCAR perhaps....

        Reminds me on a gold digger waiting to become rich, and those mining comparisons are very popular in the domain biz...but with companies registering domains by taking dictionaries in most common languages and starting to register anything from a to z, it's stays a dream, but like all dreams, it doesn't really stand a reality check.

            I hear ya, but even if every word in the dictionary is registered the secret domain could still be there. "Words" that were never in the dictionary before were invented by internet surfers. Stuff like "lol", "newb", "roflmao", etc...
            are good domain names now.
            Done.

                But there are plenty of dot com names that have never been registered.
                I bought 8 of them today. How does anyone know how many type-in these name get except name server companies.

                I could chose some stupid combination of letters only to find out that it means "fuck me for free" in some language of some country where everyone also speaks english as a second language but nobody is catering to them.
                Not probable, but I'm just talking theory.

                    Yes, good point but a rather overused one.

                    There are approximately 700,000 words in use in the English language alone, but out of that total how many do you think have a $ value as domain names ?

                    Good domain names 'paint a vista', not all words ( or combinations of words ), do that.

                      I dont think it exists, unless its a typo of some sort that has not been discovered yet. I register names all the time and test for traffic, and I have been surprised lately, I managed to register a name the other day that gets about 25 type ins a day. But that was all due to alot of research.

                        keep an eye on trends, pop culture, and future technology. thats where you'll find unregistered domains that could someday get 100k type-ins a day. there are no unregistered domains that get 100k hits a day right now.

                          Shit! 25 type-ins a day is more than 25 times what I've been getting!

                          I've tried some good names but none have done anything type-in wise.
                          Done.

                            But I can't help remebering when I was a kid and I said I wanted to be an inventor and several people said "don't do that, all the inventions have already been invented".

                            Man, were these people wrong. And I'm not talking about kids, these were adults.

                                  A tech at a large ISP could log every request and write a script to rank the "most hit" unregistered names.

                                  Sites that provide WHOIS information or any sort of domain name lookup via a web interface probably already do. How many webmasters have looked up a name only to find it's been registered when they return a few hours later?

                                    I believe the theory but I'm sure any company caught doing it would face anti-trust liability. It would be like a patent firm copyrighting patents similar to clients after seeing their clients idea.

                                        There are many people doing this already with more $$$/time/resources, etc than you.... chances of discovering a golden unregistered domain are pretty slim...

                                          The dictionary registration tricks and the registering expiring domains is a bit of a trick done mostly be the registrars themselves. They have a certain amount of time to say "oops", which is long enough for them to make a domain active and see if it has any natural traffic. If there is no traffic, you drop it in the "oops" time and it costs nothing. But in the mean time, you got a peek inside to see if there was anything there.

                                          Worse. the can actually turn around and re-register it minutes later, and get another "oops" on the same domain.

                                          It's called "domain kiting", and for a while was a very common practice.

                                            I disagree. A patent firm would have a NDA. Submitting a WHOIS query anonymously to a website is completely different. So long as it does not break privacy laws they can do what they like with the information you submit.
