Man, these guys are good.

lol damn that's crazy...

Thats me!

No it not, dont ban me!

wow that was quick wonder how they found out.

Run for the .org and .biz !

There's a couple guys who do this. They have inside sources. They "tap" on to program owners and other domain buyers with branding influence, such as yourself, and find out the domains you buy so they can register variations and misspells quickly. I know of a few instances where programs have changed names of new sites to avoid these guys.

Long story short, you aren't the only one this happens to.

Not hard to figure out ;)

maybe they have a script that sees whenever

Registrant:
AP Net Marketing, Inc.

registers a domain?and then registers all other extensions?

who cares

Thats cool eh? If a big program owner develops .com then it is easy type ins for .net!

lol well I mean how fast they did it:)

Lensman, why not buy both the com & net at the same time when you think it's something brandable?

Fast? it was dam slow 2 days to reg them

I'm registering the .xxx version right now :winkwink:

Mark Alert is your friend

Lensman, do you use the same whois on all you're domain. Maybe they are spidering for that info and getting them.

eg. On you're whois it has "AP Net Marketing, Inc.". People could just spider for that on whois. That is what i think.

Wildwestdomains???

You would trust a domain that you plan to brand with some reseller?

I think im right guys. All his domain has the same whois.

http://whois.sc/teenhitchhikers.com
http://whois.sc/pbplustour.com
http://whois.sc/milfcruiser.com

Spider for "AP Net Marketing, Inc." on whois and it done deal.

fast for me but then again i'm a really bad procrastinator:)

I have seen names registered 10 minutes after I look them up in the registrar.

damn, i missed it! hahaha

It was Negrodamus.

I have noticed some company buying every expired domain that comes up.. I'm suprised thats profitable..

Has anyone else noticed this recently ?? all the expired domains are getting bought by a just a few companies.. even the crappy ones. so its not someone handpicking them its just automated buy everything.. deep pockets..

That isn't anything new. Companies have been doing that for years. It's profitable based on the volume. A domain is only $6.95 a year, if a domain can make just $1 a month it turns profit. Some domains hit hard, while others flounder.

well i realise it happened on a small scale , but on the recent expiry lists i have viewed its like 99% owned by one company whereas before it was only like 1% ..

domaincontender is one of those that seem to pick up a lot of them

If you want to keep your registrations private, avoid using your standard DNS servers until you're ready to go live. Its easy to watch new domain registrations based on DNS servers that most sponsors use.

go ahead. tell the world.

Like it was that hard to figure out...
Tomorrow's lesson, how to spam search engines.
WG

sure, tell the end of the movie before people see it :winkwink:

LINKZ ? You'll notice them deleting them a few days later too without having to pay for the names, after testing to see which ones get any traffic.

almost every domain the directnic expiry lists shows as recently expired

You can do that?

would have thought that anyone starting a decent sized site would at least reg the .net as well as the .com.

If you have connections and $$$, everything is doable...

Why didnt you register the .net etc?
:upsidedow

I just got eatmyblackmeat.co.uk



thanks Lens!

the .net's and .org's arn't worth a lot. I have a .net for an alexa 5,000 mainstream domain pulling in less than 1 unique a day. It's just good to have for brandability purposes

then again, i have .net's in the non mainstream industry getting hundreds of hits a day. I guess it all depends

LoL they are amazing.

I had Tanker register a domain one night and he mispelled it.

The next day when he was looking he realized that he had mispelled it. We went to register the proper domain probably like 12 hours later and it had already been snapped up. :(

By coincidence I ended up speaking with someone @ Phoenix Forum who buys A LOT of domains and as we got to chatting I brought up the speed with which domain trolls had got our precious domain...

Although I don't think I called them domain trolls I think I referred to it as some Jack Ass bought the domain before we could get it ... and he replied... I think I maybe that person!

He was so very kind and gave us the domain back as he took pity on me!

How funny!

Nowadays domain names keywords are useless ...

same person got eatmyblackmeet.com too :)
