Lucky Mr Kelly! Drop.com.au to the rescue!

Firebrand Federal Member for Hughes Craig Kelly has been making waves online and offline during his recent term.

A Similarweb analysis of Search traffic reveals punters have been curious about Mr Kelly's views on everything from spurious treatments to Indian yogis and reactions to his casual approach to privacy in the use of SMS.

In the last year, searches on Craig Kelly have averaged 50,000+/month. With a 4X spike in February when he was banned from Facebook.

Much of this search activity has driven traffic to media platforms, with The New Daily picking almost 18%, followed by The Sydney Morning Herald with 13%.

Craig Kelly's own website, craigkelly.com.au, has received less than 5% of this traffic to date.

Originally registered by the Liberal Party of Australia, this week saw the domain picked up by Clive Palmer's United Australia Party using Trellian's Drop.com.au service.

Direct Registration - Contested Domains Feature

Just a quick update that we have launched a new feature at Drop to help our clients get ready for direct .au registrations. A new Contested domains page released lists all your domains at Drop, their create date and most importantly all the other extensions that are classified as either Category 1 and Category 2 domains that may be eligible to also claim the direct .au domain.

You can find a link under the Domain top navigation drop down link.

This is an initial beta release, and soon we plan to release an updated version that will drill deeper in the the various extensions if they are classified as either Category 1 or Category 2 and also if any of them can be used to contest your own claim for the direct .au domain extension.

The data is currently updated once a month, so any domains registered in the current month or transferred to Drop in that month will not have any data until the next update which is as the start of each month.

Note: only available for domains under management at Drop, transfer your domains over and take advantage of this great new feature.

A new feature has landed at Drop.com.au.
Accurate backlink data for dropping domains is live!

The Drop platform has added accurate backlink data to the daily drop lists that is completely sortable. This also includes an export function that allows for further data analysis of backlinks. Backlink data can provide valuable information when deciding which domains to purchase and can be great to see what existing links already point to a domain.

Higher quality and a larger quantity of backlinks can help boost organic rankings and search traffic for any domain. Links are an important SEO component and should always be considered when purchasing a domain. We are very excited about this new feature and hope it provides our customers with valuable data to assist them decide on what domains to register.

Drop.com.au is pleased to announce the launch of Dutch Auctions on expired domains.

The Drop platform is adding a secondary Reverse Auction for domain names to start right after the end of the main domain auction. The Dutch auction will start with a Buy Now price of $25 inc. GST and the price will reduce down by $1 every 30 seconds till the price drops to only $10 inc. GST.

As soon as a domain is ordered, it is removed from the list for all other clients. The list of such names is kept private so only the winning buyer will see the names that have been ordered via the Dutch Auctions.

We are also happy to release this on SES Wear Orange Wednesday 19 May as SES do amazing work that we are proud to support them. Drop is donating 100% of the proceeds made in the next 7 days from the Dutch auctions to SES.

Happy to announce that after 9 months of development, the new Drop.com.au drop catch platform is live.

Some of the key changes:

- Visible Bids - That's right, you can now see the bids as soon as they are placed.
- Real time BID updates in the new auction interface.
- Email Alerts if you have been out bid.
- Earlier drop time to enable us to extend drop auction end time to reduce the impact of Snipe bidding.
- Date scroll option to see future days drops, ideal for any policy delete domains that are listed weeks in advance.
- New friendlier pricing tiers.
- Reserve pricing feature for extended domain auctions - ideal for aftermarket domain auctions.
