Currently the service, which can be found on domaining.com main page under the “Closing Auctions” Tab, tracks the auctions from: Afternic.com, BargainDomains.com, Sedo.com, GoDaddy.com and Latonas.com and in the next day or two, Domaining.com will be adding AuctionPus.com and in the next week or two, SnapNames.com
The list not only shows the domain name, the current price, the auction house, and the time left until the auction closes but also gives you; the “value” of each domain (as estimated by Valuate.com), the frequency of each domain (which is the number of times the term is indexed by Google); the “searches” for each name (the number of times the term is globally search (data from Google)); how much competition there is for PPC ads for that term and the current CPC for the search term.
You can sort all the auctions by any of these columns, so if you wanted to pick the domains with the highest Valuate.com value then you can for example.
You can also filter your results by search term, domain extension (mulitple extension with a comma), the “value” of the domain as estimated by Valuate.com , the top bid, number of bidders and auction house.
Wow
A Lot of information.
Nice service.
Well organized, user friendly and free.
Guess you have no more excuses for missing out on any great deals at any of these auction houses.
Congrats to Francois who has created I think the definitive tool to track all auctions.
Yep, my programmer is working on the Auctionpus.com feed as we speak. Adding the ClosingAuctions.com unit is a great idea IMO: we’re all here to buy/sell/monetize domains and auctions do and should play a huge role. End user sales are great and everything but without domainer to domainer liquidity, things could get complicated and that why any service which promotes liquidity in one way or another helps.
Thanks for the announcement Michael.

I will add these 2 features you missed:
1) Favorites:
You have a “Favorites” page where you can define and save your own filter. This way you don’t have to edit the filter each time you want to see domains having your prefered specs.
Better, you can have this list of favorites auctions be part of your daily domaining.com newsletter so each morning you can start your day deciding which name you should bid today, adding these auctions in your watch list.
Myself for example I updated my preferences to only receive each morning .com or .fr that valuates $1K+ with no hyphen, no digit and no IDN, less than 21 characters.
2) Watch list:
You can check any domain you would like to bid and add it into your watch list.
This way you can easily follow the status of these auctions and also receive one hour before the closing time a reminder by email.
The time you were losing great deals because you were not aware of the auction or because you forgot to bid should be over!
F-
Thanks for the additional info.
You got a lot of features on this service.
I think domainers would pay a monthly charge for access to this info and your giving it away for free
nice
“I think domainers would pay a monthly charge for access to this info and your giving it away for free”
Well, if anyone thinks that then I am sure that Francois will eventually try to charge, time and time again, then complain that noone is paying to advertise on it.
Anon, you are sooo right…lol
How come no IDNs francois
Great idea and service.
Of course, with the resultant reduced domain “friction” comes higher prices for sellers . . . and fewer & lesser “good deals” for buyers.
Good news for some; not so good for others.
It’s amazing – good job!
Would you create an application that searches all the Latonas auctions in the queue? Then one can search once a week for keywords at least, because Latonas clients don’t all bother to categorize every domain, particularly one can imagine, the low-reserve domains from a portfolio of hundreds.
Then send me a widget for my site, linked to in my name, please. You created a widget for newsheadlines; you can create one for auctions – please respond to my email.
Sincerely,
Louise 🙂
If my compliment, above got wrecked by the request that followed, I’m sorry.
The “closing auction” service seems ground-breaking, fantastic! There seem like so many features it would be nice to have a tutorial from Morgan Linton’s streaming live TV to go through and examine each and every feature – good job!
