DropDigger Discovers Over 1,000 Unregistered Domains With Links From Respected Websites

Online, March 24, 2011 (Newswire.com) - DropDigger - a popular domaining site that scours the web for unregistered domain names - has discovered over one thousand unregistered domains, all of which are linked to from respected government, military, educational and media sites.

The domains are a goldseam for prospective domain buyers, search engine marketers and startups looking for a new name. Domain names ending with common top-level domains such as .com, .net and .org are notoriously hard to find, and these domains are especially valuable. This is because the link from the authority site not only can provide an initial source of traffic, but because it also often provides an advantage in the domain's search engine rankings.

Carl Eisenstein, founder of DropDigger said today: "DropDigger has not been a simple undertaking - in fact it's been far harder than any of us expected. We've had to build technology to rival some search engines, and have already scoured millions of pages across hundreds of thousands of authority domains to find the unregistered names we've found so far."

He adds: "The good thing about it though is that there are many many millions of pages more to try, so we should have a good number of these domains being unregistered names appearing for a long time to come."
