    Hello everyone.
    I have run across something very interesting. Don’t know how this happens, but every time I go and check for domain availability, I find some interesting domain names. Names like dirdig.com or digdir.com or grinja.com or something else. One week later I check on the same domains I find out that they got bought out. :eek: This makes me feel that I’m being checked or scanned or in other words looks like somebody watching my steps. I have noticed this over the past 2-3 months. Anyone could explain this? :confused:

    Now, I’m a bit scared to check for domain availability and kinda feek that I have to wait until the time when I get an idea for the site and pick a name then buy it out straight away.

    IMO you just need to start taking your paranoia medication again.

    Hi, believe it or not, I have always wondered the same thing! Everytime I check a domain, I often think that it would be so easy for the company/website that I am using to collect all available domain searches and pick them up for themselves!

    Being in the domain name flipping business for years, I realize that you need to be very creative. You also need to research and ask others for thought and input. I believe there are literally thousands and thousands of very valuable names just sitting there still available! Now, since the names are so cheap, I just pick them up. 8 out of 10 names I register are losers which I let expire...and 2 out of 10 have potential.

    Trust me, you are not alone, I am very suspicous too.
