I've only been a member there for a month or so. The other day I got my 1st domain. Let me tell you how.

I went through a list of soon to expire domains that I got my hands on. I found some interesting domains that I put in for montioring with Expire Fish. One was a solid 2 word .net with existing links to it. The domain was also in the same niche as one of my current sites, and I thought I might be able to get some targetted traffic for my biz from the domain. I typed it in for monitoring and felt quite content with my findings that day.

A couple of hours later I checked my e-mail and found a couple of e-mails from Expire Fish. One saying that they had grabbed a domain for me. I was filled with excitement, knowing that almost all of the domains I've monitored with them were pretty good domains. I opened the e-mail only to found out that they had got a domain that was very similar to the .net domain I mentioned before. But it was misspelled!! I had managed to misspell the name while typing it in for monitoring, and shortly after they grabbed the domain for me. What a bummer!!!!! :laugh:

Now I'm stuck with a totally worthless misspelled .net, that looks ugly as hell.... Read this post and learn from my mistake!! :D

P.S. I have registered over a 1,000 domains over the years. This is the first time it has happened to me. So it could happen to the very best.

I registered 3 names through expirefish that way. Next time I will not drink beers as I type in the names.

Yeah, one of my business partners has a fleet of domains we've developed a network with (city names). One of the names is mispelled and thus pretty useless to us. I made fun of him and recently registered a bad spelling myself. Doh. Bad karma. Be sure not to laugh.

Register Fly's new motto:

Be careful what you ask for... you might actually get it.

I always check the names after I add them to my monitoring queue to ensure I did not fat finger anything. It saves me grief later on. Not related, I picked up 5 domains in the past week(3 very good), has anyone else noticed an increase?

Did you misspell them or? Honestly, I found it a bit weird myself that I had misspelled my name. But then again I could have as easily.

Yes, it is my mistake.


I believe you can beat Expirefish.com in manual registration way, if you want and if you have plenty of time.
