Overview    

NameFlipper is cutting-edge domain liquidity analysis engine which pinpoints expired domains with genuine end-user value.  While most traditional domain research tools spotlight high keyword search volume and PPC as tell-tale signs of a valuable domain, these figures provide no guarantee you'll be able to cash in quickly if you manage to catch or purchase the domain.  NameFlipper not only considers a more broad, holistic set of metrics indicative of short-term end-user liquidity but also attaches an appraisal and list of sales leads to each domain analyzed so you know (a) how high to bid on each domain, and (b) who you could flip the domain to quickly for a satisying profit.

Reliable Liquidity: Leaving Speculation in the Dust

Every day, NameFlipper compiles lists of expired domains which fall into one of the following three liquid classes:

• Product/Service Generics (e.gs. ConcreteGarages.com, IDBadge.net, SocialEntrepreneurship.org): The pinnacles of domain liquidity, these web identities represent goods and services whose market values have been chartered for decades.   NameFlipper rewards domains whose TLDs snugly fit their keywords.
• Personal Names/GEOs (e.gs. MattMiller.com, AlbanyApartments.net, Jamar.org): Highly targeted and small-business friendly, these domains frequently elude drop-catchers' radars, whose search dictionaries all-too-often lack proper nouns.
• Non-Speculative Brandables (e.gs. SimpleTouch.com, PremierPensions.com, DamnGood.net).  Why muse about potential strong-sounding brands or LLLL.coms?  NameFlipper locates expired domains which the owners of many developed websites (SimpleTouchMassage.com, MySimpleTouch.com, SimpleTouchOK.com, etc.) had likely attempted to register at one point, but were forced to settle for a less memorable name.

During our April 2009 beta test, our participants quickly earned an average of $2 for every $1 they invested in NameFlipper domains, making NameFlipper domains one of the highest-yield commodities in existence for the risk entailed. [More about our trials]

Prospect-Oriented Analysis (POA): Bringing Corporate Technology to the Masses

NameFlipper lists recommend domains whose keywords have meant money, not ones which might mean money.  For each expired domain which passes our liquidity litmus test, NameFlipper scours the web to collate highly qualified sales leads and presents them sorted in descending order of prominence so you know which end-users are most likely to purchase each domain for the largest sum.   Each sales lead includes a website URL, title, abstract, visitor statistics, and whois contact information to help you explore the end-users for each domain we advise quickly and price appropriately.  Put more simply, we deliver you mini marketing campaigns for each liquid domain we recommend. Check out our sample NameFlipper lists (requires quick registration) to view examples of this data for yourself.

Resale Value Appraisals: Bid with Confidence

NameFlipper is the first automated tool which delivers free domain name resale value appraisals.  We run all soon-to-drop domains through our appraisal engine to help you allocate your financial resources optimally in pursuit of those names.

Comprehensive Bargain-Hunting

NameFlipper is the first aggregator which pools top bargains from all known sources of expired domains.  The sources currently include dropping (pendingDelete) domains, plus pre-release domains from NameJet, SnapNames, GoDaddy, Afternic, Name.com, and Dynadot.

Interactive, Zero-Reserve, No-Frills Auctions

On a daily basis, NameFlipper.com collects and auctions off six lists of exceptionally liquid expired domains.  Each list contains 15 to 175 names ornamented with statistics, sales leads, and recommended bidding caps.  We designed our auction lineups with enough variety to allow any domainer to bid within his or her means, whether he or she runs on a hefty or modest budget.  Moreover, all participants win something!  Upon each auction's conclusion, we deliver the highest bidder his or her list and then serve all other participants a useful freebie.

An Enduser-Facing Community

NameFlipper.com does much more than distribute lists of soon-to-drop liquid domains.  We aim to consolidate veteran end-user business experience, sharing expert advice on domain selection, lead gathering, negotiations, pricing, and other end-user-focused topics.  We firmly believe that targeted end-user selling provides better bang for one's time than engaging in any other domaining activity, whether flipping to resellers, offering advertising, or plunging into domain development.   We maintain one of the most revealing end-user strategy blogs in the business plus a collection of end-user sales anecdotes and reward regular contributors to both.  We are also in the process of building a high-commission brokerage network and encourage you to contact us if this opportunity excites you.

Anti-Cybersquatting Measures: Sustaining a reputable domain industry

We take strides to empower domain investors to match for-profit and non-profit ventures with Internet real estate targeted to broaden their creative or commercial reach.  This matching process strengthens the global economy by shifting vacated lots to task forces with the passion and skills to transform these lots into outposts for movement-building, product delivery, or rendering of constructive services.  Infringing on third-party rights runs precisely antithetical to this objective of fostering innovation.  NameFlipper thus cross-references each expired domain with uspto.gov's centralized trademark database, warns list purchasers of potential conflicts, and urges these customers to perform extra-rigorous due diligence before engaging in any potentially infringing domain purchases exceeding $100.  We exclude infringements on well-known trademarks from our lists alogether.
