The LLL.us are dropping, the LLL.us are dropping. That’s right, it’s time to break out the old acronym finder and see what creative names we can come up with. Actually, I just Google the three letters and see how many end user possibilities are on the first 3 pages. Every name on this list will be registered tomorrow but not every LLL.us is worth registering. Do you follow? Look for premium letters, pronounceable, a word or product, try the Google trick or just look for the names that I have linked to SnapNames. They are worth a back order. Some of the other names may be worth a GoDaddy back order but I would just try my luck drop catching. Here are all 47 LLL.us dropping tomorrow:
Are You Ready For The Dropping LLL.us (47 of Them)
July 8th, 2010 
greg I’d like to wish you a Happy Independence Day
July 4th, 2010 greg Today is July 4, 2010, Independence Day. It is the day that we commemorate the adoption of The Declaration of Independence, a day to thank our forefathers for their bravery as they approved this document:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
I will be spending Independence Day with my family in St Augustine, Florida. We are having an afternoon cookout and then heading a couple of miles to theCastillo de San Marco to watch the fireworks explode over the fort. It is the perfect backdrop to give thanks for the efforts of many people to forge this great country, it’s almost like I can feel the struggles that they went through.
Unfortunately, domaining does not break for the holidays but it does get a reduced workload, I am only working another hour or so. I also wanted to give a shout out to defaultuser from NamePros for putting together a patriotic .us website, 4thJuly.us. Perhaps with another year to work on this site you can make it a great holiday website.
Join Us For a Patroitic Celebration of Fireworks, Dot US Style
July 3rd, 2010 greg 
Tomorrow is July 4, 2010. The time when we celebrate America’s Independence. It is also the time to watch some of the best Dot US Domains that you will see drop on one day. No exaggeration!!! If you tried to acquire any of the powerhouse names that dropped on July 3, 2010 you know that the only way to touch those names was to place a SnapNames backorder. I consider the names dropping on the 4th to be much better names. There are 8 names on my list and any of these names would be a welcome addition to even the best .us portfolio. I have linked them to Snapnames for your convenience.
Today Was An Exciting Day For Dot US Drops
July 3rd, 2010 greg Today was an exciting day for dot us drops with several heavyweight names crossing into the drop window. I had 9 powerful .us names on my list including 3 LLL.us , 3 GEO’s , 2 1 word Product Domains and 1 First Name. 8 of the 9 names were backordered and captured by SnapNames. Pretty Impressive.
The 3 LLL.us included TCP.us, GES.us and ACB.us.
The 3 GEO’s included Yosemite.us, SouthBeach.us and WestHollywood.us.
The 2 Product Domains included Tint.us and Coupon.us.
And Frankie was the name.
Make sure that you take a look at The July 4th Drops because a whole new round of quality names are coming available!!!!
My Picks From The SnapNames .us Showcase Auction
July 2nd, 2010 greg SnapNames has put together a .us Showcase Auction that features names from some of the biggest .us portfolio holders in the industry. This auction has it all, LLL.us, product domains, gambling domains, financial domains and many more categories. It’s really worth a look if you an interested in acquiring a high profile dot us domain or if you only you want to see how much these names sold for.
I really think the timing of this auction is great!!! America, this is your ccTLD. Show your patriotism by owning and developing a .us domain. It is something to take pride in plus these names are phenomenal in the SERP’s, so in between your 4th of July celebrations take a look and see how your favorite names are doing, the auction runs until Thursday July 8, 2010. I am only highlighting my favorite names from this auction. What names do you like:
Now I know why they call it a “drop list”
June 26th, 2010 greg 
So I woke up this morning and started scanning .us drop lists, for those of you who don’t know I scan them with my eyes and not a program to filter keywords and metrics, it may not be the best method but it works for me. I’m not sure if I just hadn’t fully woke up or if I was in a bad mood but it seemed as if there was a whole bunch of junky names on the lists. Now I know why they call it a “drop list”. I decided to compile a list of domain names that you shouldn’t register under any circumstances. Advance apologies to you if this was your name or a name you thought of buying:
The Difference Between A Crap Domain, A Decent Domain and A Great Domain
June 24th, 2010 greg I started my domaining career in 2006 because I had an idea for a website, so I registered a domain name thinking that I would instantly know how to develop it. I soon realized that I was clueless on the development side of things so I started reading all of the information that I could find. The more that I read, the more I gravitated toward the domaining side of things. I bought a few names, then a few more, and a few more. I was hooked!!!!
That is when reality came calling, or should I say renewal fees came calling! I quickly realized the difference between a crap domain name, a decent domain name and a great domain name. That is the step that every domainer must make in order to be successful, otherwise they will continue to throw good money after bad. I’m sure that even a new domainer can tell when they register a crap name so I won’t spend much time talking about the characteristics of that type of name. Instead I will talk about what makes the difference between a decent and a great name.

Is that GoDaddy .us domain really only $2.99
June 22nd, 2010 greg 
GoDaddy has an ongoing offer of $2.99 for registration of a dot us domain name. This is a very good price for a .us domain name and at this time is not being matched by anyone but what are the restrictions in order to get a name at this price? I will try to break down the GoDaddy $2.99 .us special as well as give you other alternatives so that you will get the best dot us pricing.

Bulk Sale of High Search Volume Domain Names
June 21st, 2010 greg It is with a heavy heart and a hungry stomach that I am selling the majority of my dot us portfolio in one lot. I am looking for a quick sale so I will consider all reasonable offers in the mid $xxx range. I will consider offers of $9 each. I will not sell individual names this low, it is the bulk sale that gets that price. Selling my domains is nothing new to me, I have sold over 40 domains so far in 2010. It is part of my business model to sell the names for several times more than I paid for them and periodically make an end user sale that provides a much higher return. I buy quality names so it makes sense that I am able to find buyers for these names, but in order to command higher prices sometimes I must wait for these sales to develop. Unfortunately, I am in a dire situation and must sell the names quickly so I am having a bulk fire sale.
