I have been reading Dot Weekly and I came across an interesting article on the DRT Domain Research Tool.  It has the following features:

Feature Summary

• Ability to scan various search engines in bulk including:
  • Alexa (Traffic Rank / Link Popularity)
  • Altavista (Link Popularity / Link Saturation)
  • Dmoz Directory
  • Google (Link Popularity / Link Saturation)
  • Google PageRank
  • Google External Tool
  • MSN (Link Popularity / Link Saturation)
  • Yahoo (Link Popularity / Link Saturation)
  • Yahoo Directory
  • Overture (Term & Domains) in all known Overture servers, and now connecting to our CACHED server
• Full support for multiple proxy servers on all search engines and the ability to select which search engines should be queried via proxy. Load up to 10,000 proxy servers and D.R.T. will randomly use a proxy for each query.
  • Proxy server verification verifies proxy servers before they are used in a scan and ensures that they are functional and non-transparent. This ensures that only real and functional proxy sebvers get used during a scan process.
• Automated domain appraisal quickly appraises domains as they are scanned using a user defined formula. Domain values can be calculated by Overture score, Pagerank, Link popularity and much more. Automated appraisals are ideal for first level offers. Patent pendyng D.R.T. only feature.

• Automated offer submissions allow for one click submission of all offers for all selected domains. Now you can send a dozen or a thousand offers with a single click. Since domains are automatically appraised using a formula specified by the user (or the default formula) the entire offer-submission process is completely automated to ensure maximum efficiency. Patent pending D.R.T. Only feature.

• Domain Alerts ensure that you never miss an important auction, renewal or domain event. Alerts are set by date and the user may also specify alert actions such as sound or pop-up. Patent pending D.R.T. Only feature.

• New - Google External Tool - Scan domains, keywords and URLs for type-in, search volume, CPC, popularity and much more with the new External Tool feature built into DRT.

• New - International Keyboard Designer- Easily create a keyboard layout for any country (ex: Germany, China, etc) and use that keyboard layout to generate typos.

• New - IDN Support - DRT now supports international domain names (IDNs). You can now check and convert IDNs in bulk with just a few clicks. No other software offers IDN support.

• New - Typo Generator - Generate typos from domains and phrases in 250 various TLDs. Instantly scan typos for availability, overture score and much more.

• New - Portfolio Manager - Manage all of your domains, monitor their registration status, IP, web site, resolve status and much more with the new portfolio manager feature.

• New - Tabbed Navigation - New design allows for more efficient navigation of various features with separate tabs for web browsers, scan lists, watch lists and portfolios.

• New - Integrated web browsers - Multiple Internet Explorer web browsers are now integrated directly into the software, each in its own tab for easier and more efficient research.

• New - Schedule Automated Scans - Now you can schedule scans to start on any day at any time, automatically download and scan lists and much more. This allows for scanning of various engines when the user load is low.

• New - Zone Files & Zone Changes - We now include the ability to download and filter (by keyword, length, etc) complete zone files. The following zone files are currently available (more coming soon): .Com Zone File (650 MB compressed, 3.3 GB uncompressed), .NET zone file, .DE zone file, .CO.UK zone file, .NL zone file, .NO zone file, .ES zone file, daily zone changes for .com/.net/org. Also, newly registered .com/Net/.org lists are now available.

• Separated Scan and Watch Windows keep your important domains in a separate watch list so that you can monitor them constantly while allowing you to scan raw lists in the Scan window.

• Overture Digger allows for deep scanning of Overture based on domains generated from Overture keyword results. This extremely powerful feature can be used to find available domains in various TLDs with high Overture scores.

• Search Engine Digger extracts domain and rank information based on a supplied set of keywords. This powerful feature can be used to find patterns between various domains, rankings and keywords.

• Domain Watch List keeps various domain results separated from important domains the user is monitoring. Having two lists ensures that fresh scan results do not interfere with domains the user is keeping an eye on.

• Domain Generator generates domains based on supplied keywords, other domains, pad files, and much more, all with a click of a button.

• Domain Filtering allows for filtering out of domains based on various properties including keywords, dictionary types, dashes, numbers and much more. D.R.T. also supports loading of custom dictionary files to extract domains of various languages.

• File Splitter feature allows for splitting of extremely large files, such as zone files, into smaller files supported by D.R.T. This allows for scanning of complete zone files or certain domains within the zone matching the user’s filter settings.

• Integrated Whois Search compatible with over 100 whois servers allows for checking of whois for virtually any domain.

• Integrated Domain Lists including expired, expiring, registrar-hold and redemption period allow the user to quickly download and scan daily updated drop lists.

• One Click Print Feature allows for printing of your scan list or watch list with a single click of a button. Since most printers cannot fit the entire list onto a single page D.R.T. asks the user to specify which columns should be printed.

• One Click Export allows for exporting your scan or watch list into Excel, HTML, XML or text.

• Simple user interface allows for quick and easy navigation no matter how complicated the scan task may be.

• Powerful help file describes every feature and setting.
