Iknow the answer to this question depends largely on factors such as the exact keywords, but I am looking for a general guideline.

If you're out buying up expired domains with search engine listings, how deep in the ranks can a page be before it is useless? First page? Second? Fifth?

The reason I ask is that the program I wrote to find expired domains takes a couple of hours to search for expired domains on seven major engines with a list of about 400 keywords/keyphrases when I have it set to go five pages deep. The time it ttakes includes performing all the whois operations and everything, but it is still a long time.

I could probably cut the list of keywords and phrases down to 50 or so, but I don't like the idea of missing domains because I didn't include a common variation on a search. Should I just cut it back to less than 5 pages deep or is it worth going that deep into the results to find domains?

I suppose I could also make the program multi-threaded, but that's more of a last resort.

I appreciate any advice on this.
