I haven’t been chasing much these past few days, but expect to kick it up a notch this week. I also wanted to put the lists at dnmeter.com to the test & make sure the accuracy is there for all you fellow drop catchers.

So far so good. The domains I was chasing were:

Snuffies.com & Afflick.com

I didn’t do any research on these & simply eye balled them out from the dnmeter list. I thought oh cool, Snuffies can be a brandable domain. First came to mind that this name qualifies as a brandable for a product or establishment. So I added it to my drop catcher. I like Afflick and thought of Surname. Not like Ben Affleck – no typo intended – but last names are hard to grab. Perhaps the spelling Afflick isn’t as popular, but I added it anyways.

I didn’t think I stood much of a chance. I noted the drop times. Snuffies was dropping around 1:41pm & Afflick around 2:16pm. So I waited & watched. Sure enough 1:42pm rolls by & I get the Dynadot email that the order has finished & I now own Snuffies.com

I waited over 30 minutes & decided to also hand chase Afflick.com. As it’s drop time was getting closer, so were my refresh intervals. Finally around 2:22pm, the domain dropped. I tried regging it by hand, but got beat. I thought for sure GoDaddy or Snap grabbed it, but to my surprise, my own Dynadot API I was running on the side caught it for me.

So It was a good day drop catching for me. I hope yours was too.

All the artillery was laid out & secrets up my sleeve.

The domain I was hoping would go unnoticed was a LLL.US domain. Not a premium, but a LLL none the less.

The domain was:

vfe.us

Nothing special but it is a LLL that I was hoping to catch.

Pool seems to have snagged it during today’s drop.

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.
