So, only slightly related to this article, but I’ll say it anyway:
I’ve bought domains for years. Through that process, I’ve developed a specific routine to evaluate a name prior to purchasing.
I’ve been sketching out a plan to build a web app that largely automates this evaluation process, that I would hope to release as a small side project SaaS in the future.
Anyone here interested in such a thing?
- stanleydrew 7y agoYes.
- RussianCow 7y agoCan you share the "specific routine" you developed? I understand if it's your secret sauce and you want to keep it to yourself, but I also would never use this if I didn't know how it worked.
- dchuk 7y agoIt's actually not that crazy/secret, it's simply compressing a many-step process down into a single, flat step. Whenever I'm looking for a good domain name, I'm trying to consider things like searchability, is the .com available, are there no shorter .com's taken, are there already projects/apps/sites with very similar names out there, do the Google SERPs come back with off-putting results, etc. I have done this by hand for a long time, but it's error prone and time consuming. Very straightforward to automate down into a one step process.
