Drop-Catching Domains Is Big Business

WebsiteMag brings us news from the Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA) about a recent study of drop catching —'a process whereby a domain that has expired is released into the pool of available names and is instantly re-registered by another party.' The eleven day study showed that 100% of '.com' and '.net' domain names were immediately registered after they had been released. CADNA has published the results with their own analysis. Quoting:
"The results also show that 87% of Dot-COM drop-catchers use the domain names for pay-per-click (PPC) sites. They have no interest in these domain names other than leveraging them to post PPC ads and turn a profit. Interestingly, only 67% of Dot-ORG drop catchers use the domains they catch to post these sites — most likely because Dot-ORG names are harder to monetize due to the lack of type-in traffic and because they tend to be used for more legitimate purposes."

no way you will just "find" a pr3 dropped domain

the expiring domains are picked over with magnifying glasses and will be snagged and put up for auction way before they would ever drop

if they are really lousy, you might get them relatively cheap, but you aren't going to find one like that that is truly dropped anymore these days

well, i can get you a whole bunch of pr3 domains ready.
i can sell each at say 100$.
anyone interested let meknow.

When a domain drops, it usually loses its PR shortly after.

the word is usually and if you put some content on the new site right away chances are it wont drop
