Tonight, I have been working more on that “End User” Genie design I was talking about. While, I admitted in a previous post that I am not a good designer – I am filling that void by making a better “script”.

Today, I was able to acquire the domain motley.us. I instantly started to search & scan business lists manually. Then the lightbulb came on. Wait a minute! EUG (end user genie) can do this for me!

I popped in motley.us & here is what I got back:

Here’s my presentation of what the report offered:

There is a huge quantity of “similar domains” that I would love to see what the reply emails bring. I would also like to post later on what the “other similar” extensions bring back as a reply to “grab my name”.

I find over & over that the established business listings bring the best sales. You really need to get in touch with your potential end users that will actually buy your domains for cash & put money into your pockets after you have caught them on the drop.

I plan to bring more end user reports to my blog as soon as I can develop better technology that can be used in real life scenarios – your feedback is appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to give everyone a heads up. As my friends know, I work fulltime at a public high school. This domaining stuff is a hobby – on the side gig. Sometimes my fulltime job supports my domaining expenses & acquisitons. Other times, the money I make from domaining makes me want to quit my job & do this fulltime. Can you imagine that

Anyways – the school season in Chicago IL, is getting ready to start the 09 – 2010 school year. My job is to program every computer we support. I setup, configure and maintain all the software that gets loaded on every piece of equipment. In the summer, I have to load up the software on over 1,000 computers. Yes, this means having to “touch” everything & configure it with the new stuff.

I love my job & I learn so much everyday. Now is my time to shine & I will be crazy busy for the next 30 days. After the wave hits, things will go back to normal. So my blog counts may decrease, or increase. It’s really a coin toss as to how things go. Hopefully everything will go smooth as it has been a great summer thus far.

Just thought I’d share with you some more info about “Me” incase you were wondering what I do all day etc..

Here’s the domains I was able to catch today on the drop:

flunkys.com
lushy.net
wobbly.us
shortened.us
motley.us

It suprises me that Directi captured: shes.net today. Awesome! I am going to re-visit my Directi API drop catching scripts & see if I can make some magic.

I forgot to display the drop times the pending deletes I will chase today will drop:

flunkys.com 1:01pm
lushy.net 2:38pm
shes.net 2:11pm
wobbly.us 1:06pm
shortened.us 1:04pm
motley.us 1:05pm

I will be ready to catch as many as I can.. The times above are in CST (Central USA) Time. Chicago time zone.I believe the drops will happen at these times – minus -6:00 GMT & UTC time would be at: 19:00 (7pm UTC).  I would also like to add that the above pending deletes will drop in a window of 2 hours total from the drop order.

Here’s a list of pending delete.us – Domains that will expire & are USA cities

whiting.us
stringer.us
jeffers.us
conroy.us
pavillion.us
halecenter.us
longbarn.us

I’m not sure I will chase any of the expiring .us cities, but who knows – if I may get lucky with a premium sooner or later again if a real premium drops soon.

Here’s my drop list for tomorrow of pending delete domains I will be chasing..

flunkys.com
lushy.net
shes.net
wobbly.us
shortened.us
motley.us

Hope I can grab some of these drops!

Last night, I pushed out more tweaks to DNKO.COM.

1.) DNKO now shows the full sales history. Since the first sold domains to the latest, you can view the full list by clicking the sales history link at the top:

I know the sales aren’t the best & that it will take time for DNKO  to “mature”. However, the sales history will be an easy way for visitors to view the sales going on over there. Plus it helps to add the appropriate reserves to your domains (if you plan to auction them @ dnko).

2.) Another tweak added is the capability to host $1 reserve auctions – with an eBay style bidding mechanish. Basically offering a hidden reserve for the seller, who would not be forced to sell if his or her reserve is not met. It should help drive up the bids to see what the bidders are offering to pay. Also, with this system, if the seller’s reserve is met, he is forced to sell the domain to the highest bidder.

3.) More wording around the site to explain how the timer works. The DNKO 60 second auctions are meant to filter domains. The ones that noone wants to buy will last only 60 seconds. If the domain is good & bids come in, the timer will be reset back to 60 seconds. So technically an auction could last a while – depending on the reserve & bids, resetting the timer back to 60 seconds over & over again until bidding is done.

4.) The Prebid link was changed to: “Prebid & Vote”. Your votes at DNKO will only change the positions of the domains. The voting is not meant to vote domains to auction, but instead the placement of each. Mostly all domains submitted (other than trademark & adult) domains make it to the DNKO auctions. After being approved, you can vote on the position they are auctioned.

5.) Bidder certification. Bidders must now become certified to bid.  By default, all users become certified to bid & sell domains. However, if you fail to complete a single transaction, Your account will be flagged & you will be penalized with bad trader feedback. Credit card or PayPal authorization. Your thoughts are welcome in improving this system.

More tweaks & changes to come. Most importantly, DNKO needs advertisement & promotion. I am not going to sit here & ask you to spam the forums in hopes of advertising the auctions. I would recommend you don’t do that! It seems like domain auction competitors are also facing the same issue. DNKO is free – pretty much I am paying for everything out of pocket. I am not in a hurry & understand it will take months and years to help the auction site mature.

Yeah, you read / heard right. If you are terrible at web design, you need to throw in the towel.  Recently, I tried to “design” up an end user report. First off, “End User Reports” don’t exist yet. Second off, I have a lot of info that plain out looks too crammed. Third, I am color blind, which helps me make some of the coolest designs – or some of the worst clashed color junk.

I am giving up with this report. For now, it will be all text only – separated by dashes & symbols displaying the useful info.

I was hoping to be able to add a nice logo EndUserGenie.com Slogan <connecting domain owners with end users>. Then I tried to create a header / footer layout with 2 tables 300x300px in the middle. Then no footer & 4 300px boxes below the header. Uggh, Other than wasting 8+ hours on it in the past 2 days, I am back to the chipping block.

I may hire someone to do the design for me if it doesn’t “click” in my mind & I pull it off. But in reality, time is money & money is time. If I had paid someone the $30 or whatever it would cost to manipulate the data – I could be investing my time & talent into more drop catching technology.

I’ve already experienced these failures in the past. I sometimes get lucky & design something really cool – but probably fail & end up hiring someone after all.

Something to keep in mind too is that a professional web designer has more creativity & tactics. He or she may view your project in a different & bring it to life for you. Hope that happens for EndUserGenie asap.

I was chasing these drops today:

folding.us
intrigue.us
compassed.com
orlean.net
cultivations.net

Last minute, I also added JMM.US to my drop chasing. I added the above domains to my Dynadot API script. I added JMM.US to a Dynadot “front-end” script.

JMM.US was quickly grabbed by Snapnames. Go figure, I guess the demand for premium LLL.US domains is still out there.

I grabbed 50% of my drop list. I was able to secure these pending domains into my Dynadot accounts:

cultivations.net
orlean.net
intrigue.us

I noticed that someone grabbed folding.us at UDOMAINNAME.COM LLC. If I’m not mistaken, it looks like a Snapnames backorder. I am curious if anyone had backordered Intrigue.us today.

I will be going after these drops today:

folding.us (will drop around 1:06 PM CST)
intrigue.us (will drop before 1:09 PM CST)
compassed.com (will drop around 1:20 PM CST)
orlean.net (will drop at the very end approx 2:55PM CST)
cultivations.net  (will drop approx 1:22 PM into the drop cycle).

We’ll seee what I can grab & what got backordered.

Ok, so this post is a bit to brag about the enom drop catching tool I made.. lol.

But it is true, that you can use it to drop catch ccTld’s successfully. Since most other drop catchers suffer difficulties trying to remember when the drops happen & worse off, rely on other domainers for their drop lists :S.

The following method can help you catch an expiring CCTld right into your enom account.

CCTLD’s do not have query restrictions “yet” on the amount of queries you can send off. So using multiple instances of my software along with your sorted expring domain lists will be a great success!

Have fun chasing CCTLD’s. It’s the new wave of the future & premium drop catching.
