Sometimes when considering domains to buy I wonder what sort of page ND would return for a domain/keyword combination, i.e. the relevance of the links and how it actually looks. So, I'd quite like to see a sandbox where I could put in a domain name (that I don't own (yet)) and chose some keywords and hit 'go' and get a page returned.

Does this sound like a good idea to anyone else?

Sounds like a very good idea...

And is sort of nearly possible.

Sticking my neck out here.

You can effectively list anything in your ND account. We operate on a system of trust (backed up with a extremely aggressive quality control - not sure if that contradicts itself) which means you can add domains to your account as you wish. This is based on the fact that to park a name, you really have to have registrar control to change the DNS / URL. However, if a name is in a ND account, the link www.ndparking.com/YOURDOMAIN.COM will resolve an ND page.
So... If you enter and optimize a name in your account and then look at ndparking.com/thatname.com, you will be able to see how it looks.

So a ND sandbox is available...

If you just want to see the results would it not be same as going to any ND parked domain and using the search box for your keyword.
 
Thanks NameDriver, lateral thinking... nice.

aquanuke, I believed that the domain name itself had a bearing on the results but having tried that I guess not. That will also serve my purpose.

somewhere you can play without doing damage...

sandbox

n. 1. (also `sandbox, the') Common term for the R&D
department at many software and computer companies (where hackers in
commercial environments are likely to be found). Half-derisive, but
reflects the truth that research is a form of creative play.
Compare playpen. 2. Syn. link farm. 3. A controlled environment
within which potentially dangerous programs are run. Used esp. in
reference to Java implementations.
 
And the NameDrive cat litter doesn't have quite the same ring to it :)
