Careful with your domain search

Especially if you search on networksolutions.com, because when you do a search for domain availability, the next day you will find it has already been registered and will offer it for sale to you.

Check this out.

The domain says “www. visit mrbadak dot com .com” hehehe.

This was exposed in reddit yesterday where the submitter asked everyone to enter ridiculous search terms as a domain name and an autobot will register it soon. I tried it myself and that was the domain I typed. When I check this morning, sure enough, the domain has been registered by network solutions.

I still can buy it though from them for US$9.90 but only from them. Other sites like netfirms sells domains less than that.

So you know what you have to do right? Head on over to network solutions and type in funny, crazy long domain names and check on it a few hours later.

Let me know what domain names you can come up with. For some ideas, check out the reddit games comments.
