In the true weekend-warrior tradition, I’ve engaged in some serious coding over this weekend, and happy to say I came up with yet another power tool to speed up your workflow and help you find valuable domain names. Available Domain Finder - “PLUS” (you can find this in the navigation bar under “Available Domains Plus”) This tool works much like the Long Tail tool, but this time it searches for terms that have your keyword at the _end_ of the term. It will also perform a 100% accurate domain availability check so there is no need to verify availability. It will output only the available domain names, along with the keywords and keyword statistics. At the end of the page you will find copiable text lists of the domains and the corresponding keywords. TIP: Click on the ‘keyword’ cell in the table to open up Google AdTest in a new window - this is great for getting an instant look at the keyword market value - pay attention to the number and quality of Adwords ads that appear. This tool is extremely resource-intensive. Exclusive members get 2,000 domains checked in one go, Pro members get 100. Unfortunately free or domainer members don’t get this functionality because it would kill the servers. If you’re serious about domaining, maybe it’s time to go Exclusive. I have personally registered hundreds of domains using these tools - domains that are 100% comparable to domain names that have been recently sold in the aftermarket for over $1k. Look at the Domain Distribution Network for instance. A few weeks ago I hand registered a domain name that is making $5 per day in parking PPC - MedicalAirTransport.com - That one domain alone is worth more in PPC than the Exclusive membership fee! The Exclusive membership should be well worth the money. Of course, in domaining, the trick is to find a buyer, so I can’t guarantee any results for you. On another note, Safari woes continue. I have no idea what it is with Mac Safari - it used to be my #1 browser, but not anymore. I can’t get the Estibot bulk tools to work properly with Safari, so I recommend all Mac users use Firefox with Estibot. Windows users should have no problems with IE or Firefox. Also, I’m working to incorporate the new keyword parser to the Fast Bulk Tool, Portfolio Appraisal and Domain List Scanner. It should improve the performance of those tools quite a bit. One more thing, I’m still trying to find the cause for discrepancies between the bulk appraisal and single appraisal - please bear with me. I’d like to give thanks again to you my members who have been very active in reporting bugs and suggesting improvements - I continue to believe that I have the coolest member roster in the domaining world! Couldn’t do this without your help. That’s it for now - thanks for your continued support of Estibot
