How to spy on Drupal related domain names

Tagged:  

I recently found an interesting service called Mark Alert by Domain Tools.

Mark Alert by Domain Tools allows you to be alerted when someone registers a domain name with any terms or phrases in it that you specify.

Emails are sent daily and you can adjust which terms get emailed to you and which ones don't. Supported TLDs are .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, and .info.

You can monitor one term for free. I registered myself at Christmas and since then about 50 new domains with the term “drupal” in them has been registered.

It is also interesting that currently there are about 1000 registered domain names with the term “drupal” in them. That's quite a lot, isn't it? But this number includes only .com, .net, .org, .biz, .us, and .info TLDs, so actually there are more. (The funniest domain name is joomlamambooscommercewordpressdrupal.com. LOL.)

Here is a screenshot illustrating how an alert looks like (yes, 17 new domains only yesterday):

17 new domain names were registered on 2008-01-21 with the term drupal in them.

You can do the same with Google alerts for free, unlimited, for a number of years by now.

ok this is so cool
thank you i have been waiting for this list for so long
thanks very much

hey thanks for sharing good job keep it up

A lot of those domains may just be automated registrations where companies are domain tasting. Check them again after 5 days and see if they are still registered.

@keith: yes the r is right next to the t on the keyboard. Domains that contain typos are usally registered for the purpose to display ads.

Does that last one actually say "drupalturorials.com"? :)
