25 old (and good) domain names to backorder now on NameJet
These good domains are currently in pre-release.
I was just looking through some “old” domains currently available for pre-release backordering at NameJet. Here are some worth backordering. I haven’t checked any of these domains for trademarks, though. You should carefully consider trademark issues before buying any domain.
Squiggles.com – registered 14 years ago and every other major TLD is registered. A great brandable name. There are a few products with this name, though, so don’t park it if you win it.
DGMS.com – a nice acronym domain registered since 1994. As with any acronym, be careful about parking.
BrainTech.com – great brandable.
LocalFocus.com – perfect for today’s “focus” on local.
NetSol.net – you shouldn’t register this one. Network Solutions should. And since it’s registered at Network Solutions currently…
WashingtonGolf.com – great state golf domain
HSDG.com – good acronym and has a DMOZ listing
LeasedLabor.com – short term labor market and/or contract gig domain (hint: LeaseLabor.com is currently available for registration)
CherryhillNJ.com – townships’ official site is Cherryhill-NJ.com
HealthTek.com – nice brandable. Double check trademarks.
MemoryEtc.com – good domain for burgeoning memory training market
CreativeOnline.com – remember, “online” is the most common keyword sold in godaddy’s marketplace
TennisWeek.com – start an online pub about Tennis
NetAsset.com – financial or web services domain
InnovativeCuisine.com – perfect for foodies
FiveStarFood.com – another good foodie domain
CanineCuisine.com – for all the k-9 foodies
MegaSites.com – forget mini sites. Start a service offering mega sites.
LandscapeCompany.com – name says it all
FloridaLighting.com – ditto
VancouverHouses.com – I like homes better, but still a good one in a hot real estate market
BumperBowling.com – own the market
CommerceCenter.com – many uses
WallVisions.com – good for art or projection services
YourHospital.com – perfect for medical services directory, social network, or patient services site

Orphaned domain listings still mucking up domain sales process
When domains change hands or expire, “for sale” listings remain.
In October I wrote about how domain name marketplaces still struggle with “orphan listings”. These are domains listed for sale that have either expired or were listed by their previous owner.
A couple people have recently relayed to me issues related to orphan listings and how this has become a bigger issue with listings being syndicated to godaddy.
In one case exactly like the one I described in October, a customer godaddy-but-available.html">tried to hand register a domain on godaddy.com that had already expired. The domain was still listed on godaddy Auctions, though. godaddy.com said the domain wasn’t available for registration but could be purchased on godaddy Auctions. The user ended up having to use the godaddy app to register the domain. (godaddy doesn’t show auction listings in the registration path to mobile users.)
I discovered another person on NamePros who won an expired domain backorder and promptly listed the domain for sale on godaddy Premium Listings. He was surprised what he saw when he searched for the domain on godaddy. Instead of showing his Premium listing, the site showed an old Sedo “buy now” listing from the previous owner.
I know there are domains I own that still show up for sale on Sedo that were listed by previous owners. This can cause a whole slew of problems. I keep waiting for the day that someone files a UDRP on one and claims I listed it for sale on Sedo…when it was really someone else.
There are solutions, at least when it comes to fixed priced domains. Both Afternic and Sedo have mechanisms in place to monitor domains listed with instant transfer capabilities. But that doesn’t cover all domains, as was the case here.

Domain attorney Ari Goldberger featured in NBC Miami story about expired MiamiPolice.com domain
Goldberger featured in TV news story about MiamiPolice.com.
Domain name attorney Ari Goldberger of ESQwire.com was featured in an NBC Miami story last week about MiamiPolice.com.
The Miami Policy let the domain name expire a couple years ago and it was picked up by someone who now parks the domain with DomainSponsor. While I’m not sure why NBC Miami just did this story now (slow news week for the holidays?), it’s good to see Goldberger was interviewed for the story.
It turns out the Miami Police only owned the domain for a short time and never really used it, favoring their official web site Miami-Police.org. So they decided it wasn’t worth the $35 to renew the domain name.
The story reads:
Police spokesman Delrish Moss underscored that not having miamipolice.com does not affect police services at all, and that a small purchase here and a small purchase there adds up in times of severe budget crunches.
That’s the government at work.
The video is embedded below.
(As a side note, does anyone think the reporter in this story resembles ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom?)
