    I regularly see people discuss the possibility of domain registrar front running. In fact, I’ve written about this topic before. By and large, I can’t imagine any reputable domain registrars doing this today for many reasons. Front-running accusations often stem from someone searching for a domain name at a registrar, seeing that it’s available, choosing not to register it, and later finding it has been registered when they check again.

    Transfer lock policies can differ at each domain registrar. Depending on the situation and domain name status, some locks are required by ICANN and others are suggested by the organization. Some registrars are more lenient with transfer locks that aren’t required by ICANN and others are more rigid. Some registrars will lock a domain name for 60 days after a Whois or account change and others will allow that lock to be lifted when requested.

    I have been using DomainLeads.com on a regular basis since it was introduced last year. I use the tool to see how many domain names are registered and developed for specific keywords. I find it to be helpful when buying and pricing my domain names. I think the primary focus of the tool is on the TLDs developed figure. If I am looking to buy a domain name and see there are a dozen or more websites developed in different extensions with that keyword, it is probably a desireable domain name.

    Atom.com recently introduced its Domain Talk feature. The Domain Talk feature is an AI-generated audio snippet that appears on a domain’s landing page, offering a creative description of how the domain name could be used. The may help a potential buyer visualize branding possibilities, and that may help boost interest and increase the chances of selling a domain name.
