Where to find expiring PR names

[petrosc]

Hello,

Is anyone aware of any website that offers a regularly updated list of expiring or expired names with PR? It doesn't matter if the service is free or not.

Thanks a lot,
Petros

Odditysoftware, domainannounce (paid) and there are free lists available in various forums. Most of the better PR expiring .com names are caught by dropcatchers and circulated between them for a few weeks at least.

http://www.dropwatch.com/
http://snapcheck.com/ <--maybe, can't remember if they do PR

And of course, PremiumDrops.com, but you already knew that

half the lists don't even work any more

thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it

[RegFee]

that sites turned to crap, half the lists don't even work any more

Luc is working hard to fix things up. Custom scans still work, so I'm creating my own lists.

and remember, when yahoo closes down the keyword suggestion tool, Lezon's ovt database will become invaluable

Fake PR affects all droplist services. I think it would take too much time/bandwidth/etc for these services to run an additional scan to check for fake PR. I double check all of the results anyway, so it doesn't affect me too much, but I understand the frustration. At the rate Luc is introducing new features, I wouldn't be surprised if a fake pr filter was introduced somewhere in the future.

[petrosc]

it's not about fake PR, the reason is the drops are not scanned de-novo in each list. Lezon has huge databases from previous scans which contain PR, ovt etc values for all registered domains out there. Once a domain drops all Lezon does is pull results from their database which may be older than 1 year... The domain may have had PR then, but not anymore. This is why it is always good to double check.

Good point. I wonder if the custom scans are really just "old scans" too.

[Luc]

No guys, custom scans are new scans. Also, the daily scans are actual scans, they do not use the archived results. Archived results will eventually be used for something, but not now. Overture is the only exception, when it cannot be reached, the DB data is used. Also, the instant typein checker uses the DB but the daily scanned lists pull data live.

VirtualT, which lists are you referring to? What exactly doesn't work?

Thanks!

VirtualT, which lists are you referring to? What exactly doesn't work?

mmm, yeah it was a bit harsh, but the available lists have bought up nothing for me for the last 2 days, I see that the 29-04-07 list works now (as of about 6 hours ago) but the 28-04-07 doesn't work for me, and before that there are a number of days where the available lists didn't bring up any results, or if they did were only like 1000 .orgs or something (26-04-07 as an example) ... bit of a hit and miss

Same with the dropping now or dropping today lists, some days there are just no results no matter when you try

[Yofie]

DomainersEdge.com has just about everything.

Overture, PR, Links, Age, Archive, Indexed pages, Dmoz and a couple more i think. They have info for Dropping Soon Domain, Auction Domains for Enom, Tdnam, Snap Live Auctions etc.

$99 a month, but I think it's worth it. It's a huge time saver.

[petrosc]

seems to be the same service as premiumdrops.com, with the only difference that the latter is free for now...
