Earlier, this week, I hand registered six domain names. I checked on one landing page yesterday, and the correct landing page didn’t resolve. Likely due to a distraction, these domain names didn’t get added to my seller account, so an unintended landing page was shown rather than the BIN lander I wanted.
I am sure I have a dozen or two domain names that have nameservers set up correctly but were not listed for sale for one reason or another. Comparing lists in Excel is possible but can be time consuming. Instead of using Excel for this, I am going to use Chat GPT.
Here are the steps I am going to take:
1) Download lists of domain names on the sales platforms I use.
2) Prompt ChatGPT to “find domain names on my inventory list that are not on my sale list.”
3) Paste a list of domain names in my portfolio with the heading “inventory list” and the lists of names on my sales lists with the heading “sale list.”
This should quickly identify domain names I own that aren’t listed for sale on various platforms.
I would guess that most of the domain names identified are correctly not for sale. For instance, DomainInvesting.com and Embrace.com will be on the inventory list but not any of the sale lists. I have quite a few other domain names like those, in addition to higher value domain names I don’t have listed for sale.
In addition to these domain names, there are likely a dozen or two domain names I own that should be listed for sale but aren’t. For instance, I am sure I won some auctions but was doing something away from the office and never got around to adding them for sale. For inventory quality domain names, not having them listed for sale could be the difference between holding forever and selling for $1-2k.
The best part about this is the speed of ChatGPT functionality. It probably took longer for me to write this than it will take to do that task.
ChatGPT had a tough time doing this and wasn’t helpful. I don’t have enough time to figure out why or try to fix.
Grok was more helpful but some of the results were clearly incorrect, so the entire result is in doubt.
Sorting out through Excel is more accurate than through ChatGPT or Grok. They do a lot if mistakes, we cannot rely on their results. It is my own experience.
In Excel, use the “vlookup” function. Once you know how to use it, it’s very useful.
Thanks – will check that out.
If you have a list of what names you’ve listed at what platform in a s/sheet, just use excel to colour in those missing with conditional formatting, or use XLOOKUP if a little more complex than cell Z1 in sheet1 s/be cell Z1 on sheet2.
