deleteddomains.com is a great place to get ideas. Their search box lets you control enough parameters to reduce the number of matches to a reasonable number of relevant names. Their process to remove names that have been re-registered runs about 24 hours behind so finding a name there does not gurantee it is available.
if you search www.whois.net for domain names it will give you a list of similar deleted domain names as part of the result.
Thank you I will give those a try. I am looking to see if I can find some expired real estate domains. I have a few more websites to put up and was hoping that maybe an expired might help with the longevity issue with G and real estate websites.
