What the Auctions section is

Auctions is a section of the Karma.Domains report database where domains that currently have auctions running are listed. You see domains offered for sale after registration expiry or through other registrar auction mechanisms, and you can analyse them using Karma metrics, traffic, and other signals before you bid.

The section appears in the main list of report databases and opens via Auctions in the navigation. The page title is Domains from auctions.

Which domains appear in Auctions

In Auctions, you will see domains that:

• Are currently in an auction — bidding is active when you view the database, or the domain was recently listed for auction.
• Are included in the Karma.Domains database — the service collects auction data from partner marketplaces and registrars and builds a per-domain report with metrics, auction end dates, and other analytics.

This is not a random list of expired domains; these are lots from current auctions where you can open the full Karma report (Karma Score, DA, traffic, history, etc.) and decide whether to bid.

Why the Auctions section exists

• One list of lots — all auction domains are in one table with the same Karma analytics.
• Evaluate before you bid — you review quality, traffic, and history before you go to the auction site and place a bid.
• Filters and sorting — you can narrow domains by Karma Score, auction end date, Moz/Majestic metrics, and other fields, and export the selection to CSV when needed.

The section helps you combine Karma.Domains data with the decision to join an auction: you shortlist promising domains using analytics, then move to bidding on the registrar’s or partner’s platform.

How to use the section

1. Open Auctions in the report databases (for example from the main menu or the database list).
2. The page shows a table of domains with reports: domain, metrics, auction end dates, and other columns depending on table settings.
3. Use filters and sorting (including Karma Score, time until auction end, metrics) to narrow the list.
4. Open a domain’s report card for full analytics and, if needed, follow the link to the registrar’s auction page.
5. Bidding and payment happen on the auction platform; Karma.Domains only provides analytics and the list of lots.

Important: The hint text on the section page in the UI — “Here are domains that currently have auctions running” — briefly describes what the section is. Auction rules, bids, and deadlines are set by the auction platform and the registrar.

Related sections

• All domains — one table with domains from auctions, backorder, and expired; the section column shows when a row is from an auction. Useful when you want a single metric search without switching databases.
• Backorder — domains you can still pre-order before expiry and before an auction. In Auctions, bidding is already in progress.
• Expired — domains with expired registration that are not tied to a current auction; Auctions focuses on active auction lots.

So the Auctions section is for people who want to bid on domains while using Karma.Domains analytics to choose lots. Stay in this section for auction-only results; use All domains for a combined view.
