General
Simultaneous Threads
Many software program only allow one process to execute at a time. When you are making thousands of queries, this can take a long time. EDS uses complex technologies that utilize the .NET framework which allow us to use multiple "threads" (i.e. processes) that work simultaneously to give you results faster. We allow up to 100 processes all executing at the same time.
Notes
Editable for Each domains
In our domain monitoring and evaluation areas, users will be evaluating the domain for their value. Many times, you need to take miscellaneous notes and store the information you have found for these domains. Now, with only a right-click, you can save your notes for future reference. When you want to see them again, just hover your mouse over the Notes icon, and your note will appear. You do not have to call up any separate section of the program in order to see this.
Notes
Icon visible
For every domain you enter notes on, an icon will appear that indicates notes are available to be read for that domain. Notes can be edited, deleted. You can view the notes by hovering your mouse over the domain in the list.
Written
in C#, .NET platform
Using .NET allows us to integrate all aspects of the software together with far more flexibility than ever before. This gives us the platform to bring new parallel features that will complement the existing feature set.
Import/Export
Domains
Do you have a list of domains that you have been watching for a while? You can easily upload to Expired domain Sleuth (EDS) a text or CSV file (one domain per line) and within seconds, EDS will have these domains set up in the domain evaluation spreadsheet, ready to be analyzed.
Finding Domains
Search
by Text File list of Domains
You can import your own lists by simply calling up the txt or csv with one domain per line. You can specify whether the domain should have a www. prefix or whether it should be without. Some domains have traffic to BOTH!
Deleted/Onhold/Pending
Delete Lists
We have hourly updated lists so that you always have the latest and most accurate. Find domains in every stage of the domain life cycle. Domains can be scheduled for download...so you can sleep while the program works for you. Only available for GOLD subscription members.
Search
18 Search Engines and Directories
Search some of the most popular search engines in the world including Google, Yahoo, MSN...etc. List includes country specific search engines and directories. Don't see your engine? Add it yourself! You can use one keyword, several keywords separated by commas, or even an entire text file of keywords.
Redo/Undo
Delete
a domain by mistake? Undo one or more of your latest entries.

Filters for Domains
We filter on more than 20 different filters. Once you have applied your filters, your GOLD list that is left can be monitored to expiry date or status change. Save different groups of Filters as "strategies" for future use.
CA
& .CO.UK domain lists.
Use our unfiltered lists that are not available anywhere else. We update our lists daily...no need to go anywhere else!
Domain
Scrapes on Entire Site
If you find a website that has potential domains that you would like to acquire, we have a scraper that will scrape each page throughout a site till you have every single domain on the site. Excellent tool all by itself. If you find a directory site that cannot otherwise be searched, scraping may be your only option. Tell EDS how deep to search (how many levels in the website), and EDS will dig until every domain is recovered. You can also enter a list of domains that are to be scraped.
Add
your own Search Engines
We have added a simple wizard so that you can add any search engine in the world. Search engine shows up in the same list as the built in ones and is available every time you open the program
Domains
with or without "www."
Sometimes the best domains are ones that had all development take place at their "root" (i.e. http://domain.com vs. http://www.domain.com) . You can use EDS to evaluate BOTH of these cases. If you input a domain manually or from a list, we will respect the domain you enter.
Filter Domain
Filter
out Popular TLD's
If you are looking for specific TLDs (i.e. .com), you can filter them out quickly with just a click.
Checks
inclusion in Search Engines.
If you are only interested whether a domain is listed within a specific search engine, you can filter your list to ONLY include domains listed by that search engine
Check
for Disconnected Domains
Domains that have been disconnected by their service provider could be a sign that the owner has abandoned them. We include several filters to search for those domains that have errors associated with them. You can further eliminate all domains in your list which return an "active" status (i.e. live site)
Overture
Popularity Filter
Filter on sites that have a minimum type-in domain value. These are domains whose entire name is a phrase that users type directly into the address bar on their browser. Search engines typically will return results that have that phrase in the domain name. Overture, which is owned by Yahoo publishes search term popularity (i.e. number of searches done in the past month). So a domain with a high typein value may rank very highly in the search results.
Save
all Filter Criteria
Each section of EDS, including Find, Filter, and Link Popularity have the ability to have their criteria saved. Once saved, you can easily recall the parameters of the section so you can easily recreate a strategy. Once you have saved criteria for each section, you can schedule them to be automatically executed in the Automation Tab. Not only this, but you can set up a schedule PLUS recurring schedule to analyze, evaluate, filter your list while you're away!
Phrase/Keyword/Character
Filter
Choose partial or full keywords or characters to be included OR excluded from you domain name OR the front page. Over 25 different filters to choose from including number of characters, ending/beginning characerer, with/without dashes or numbers...etc.
Discard
List
Tired of downloading the same domains over and over again? Once you have analyzed and discarded a domain as one you are interested in, add the domain to the "Discard" list. The domain will never appear again in your downloads or manual entries. Of course, you can always recall this domain when and if you want.
Link Popularity
Find
Popularity of Major Search Engines
We give you 17 of the major search engines to check. The higher your domains rank in the search engines, the more valuable your domain is. Create a strategy which targets an industry or niche. Search engines can provide you domains within these areas...some of which may be expiring.
Check
for trademark
If a domain consists of a phrase that has been registered as a trademark, the value goes up significantly. EDS returns a yes/no whether its at the trademark office or not.
Check
Alexa Rank
Alexa is a website that measures the link popularity by tracking the number of times its members visit sites that are registered in their database. Because public popularity is difficult to measure, many domain evaluators use Alexa as a proxy of what the true popularity of a site is.
Optionally
use Country Specific Link Popularity
Using US Search Engines to provide link popularity may not always give the correct gauge of link popularity for domains that are registered in another country. For example, the best gauge for a .CO.UK domain (England) would be the search engines that are used in England. You can optionally choose to find the link popularity of the engines that are resident in that country.
Overture
(+/- TLD)
Using Yahoo's Overture Paid Search Engine, we give you the number of times that the domain phrase has been searched on with and without the domain extension (.com, .net..etc). The more searches, the more likely that the domain represents a popular name or topic, which would increase its value. Websites that the public know about and are specifically looking for will be searched for using their extension as well (i.e. paypal.com vs "paypal")
Optionally
move to Discard List
As an option, we let you remove any single or group of domains to the "discard" list. This means that if you no longer want a domain to show up on your lists, you can add it to the discard list which will never show your domain again unless you remove it from the list.
Save
All Link Popularity
All of the criteria that you use for link popularity can be saved as "tasks" for future reference. Saved "tasks" can be used in the automation tab to execute find tasks, filter tasks, and link popularity tasks in any order you want. Schedule the project (group of tasks) to run when you are not around. Save time!
Managing Domains
Multiple
Sort Criteria
When you have hundreds or thousands of domains that you are evaluating, sometimes sorting by one criteria is simply not enough. We give you 3 criteria to sort...and they are sorted in order so each subsequent searched is "nested" within the previous search results.
Expiry
Date of Domains
All domains expire at some point and this is where domain buyers are able to buy the domains they want. We give you the ability to do bulk whois queries.
This tells you when they are expiring and what the current status of where they are in the domain life cycle (i.e. redemption period, pending delete...etc)
Indepth
Whois
There are several hundred whois servers, which carry the registration information for tens of millions of domains. Not all whois servers have the domain information for all domains. Indepth Whois does a double pass at a domain. First it finds out where to go to get the correct information, then it finds it. While highly accurate, this approach can take extra time.
Email/Sound
Alerts
Use either or both of these alerts to let you know when the expiry date has changed or when the domain status has changed. Both could alert you to take action to secure the domain.
Proxy
Custom
Lists
You can cut and paste your own proxy and socks lists into the program. Test and automatically eliminate those that do not return results in your designated time period. Proxies will hide your identity from the search engines as well as whois servers
Using
EDS GOLD lists
If you don't have your own lists, you can use some of ours. All GOLD subscribers can use our proxy lists to get more results.
Check
for proxy status
Proxies don't stay available forever. Proxies cease to become proxies and new ones are constantly created. When you have a list of possible proxies, you must ensure that they return results to you in a timely manner. If they are too slow or invalid, it will delay getting your results. EDS tests the domains for both their validity as well as their response time. EDS will automatically not use proxies that are deemed bad.
Automation
Save
Criteria for each Step
For each process of domain management that EDS covers (i.e.Finding, Filtering, Link Popularity, Managing, Whois), EDS can set up a task for each in memory. Tasks can be grouped into projects which can execute the tasks in any order that you want and whatever time you want. Create different strategies, schedule them when its convenient for you. With Expired Domain Sleuth looking for domains for you, you can do almost anything!
Schedule
Automation
Schedule tasks or group of tasks (projects) to start whenever you want.
Looping
Option
You can have the project repeat itself at various intervals. Schedule your projects hourly, daily, ...etc. Never miss a domain release again.
