AUTOMATED SEMANTIC DOMAIN SPINNING TOOLS
Systems and methods of the present invention provide for the spinning and appraisal of a domain name. A list of keywords may be extracted from a domain name entered into a user interface on a client. These keywords may be compared to potential matches in a database and a result set may be compiled and displayed to the user. The client may also display a certified domain name appraisal using a plurality of logical groupings within a domain name appraisal process. This appraisal process may also include a multiplier derived from comparisons of registration statistics for various top level domains.
1 . A system, comprising:
a) a user interface on a client configured to receive a domain spinning input and to display one or more potential domain names and an appraisal value for each of the one or more potential domain names, the client communicatively coupled to a network;
b) a server communicatively coupled to a network comprising:
i) a parsing software module executed on the server and configured to parse the domain name spinning input into one or more keywords;
ii) an array building software module executed on the server and configured to build a keyword array based on a semantic search comprising one or more words similar to the one or more keywords;
iii) a keyword comparison software module executed on the server and configured to compare each of the one or more words in the keyword array to a plurality of potential matches to the keyword array;
iv) a domain appraisal software module executed on the server and configured to assign an appraisal value to one or more potential domain names in a domain spinning result set
c) a data storage communicatively coupled to a network comprising the plurality of potential matches to the keyword array.
2 . The system of claim 1 wherein the domain name spinning input is received to seek more information about an auction or aftermarket for a domain name, an evaluation of the domain name, an availability of the domain name or any combination thereof.
3 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to build a list of one or more substrings contained in the domain name spinning input.
4 . The system of claim 3 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to run the list of one or more substrings through a dictionary to identify English words within the one or more substrings.
5 . The system of claim 3 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to assign a relevancy score to each substring within the list of one or more substrings.
6 . The system of claim 5 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to return the result set based on the relevancy score assigned to each substring within the list of one or more substrings.
7 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to check the data storage for known acronyms or abbreviations for the one or more keywords passed in to the system as the keyword array.
8 . The system of claim 7 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to add the acronyms or abbreviations found to the keyword array.
9 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to check a database of regional synonyms within the data storage for potential matches.
10 . The system of claim 9 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to add one or more regional synonyms found in the database of regional synonyms to the keyword array.
11 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to use one or more domain categories to pull more keywords from the data storage.
12 . The system of claim 11 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to match the keyword array against one or more category keywords pulled from a static list of categories and keywords for each of the domain categories in the data storage.
13 . The system of claim 12 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to determine whether more than one category in the static list of categories and keywords is matched.
14 . The system of claim 13 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to, on finding that more than one category in the static list of categories and keywords is matched, order the domain categories found by relevancy.
15 . The system of claim 14 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to return a top domain category found by relevancy, as well as additional domain categories, if any.
16 . The system of claim 12 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to add the one or more category keywords to the keyword array.
17 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to find one or more synonyms from a thesaurus.
18 . The system of claim 1 further comprising a software module executed on the server and configured to return the keyword list, acronyms and synonyms to be displayed to the user.
