I'm aware of one TLD operator that actually does report all new domain creations. Probably more do that too.

Other than that there's plenty of companies that live of scraping WHOIS [and related] data. domaintools.com most notably. EDIT: they surely do more than just scrape whois data

An unsophisticated spammer could just scrap dailychanges.com or similar sites and get pretty far.

Easier way, get zone files, compare and you've got a list of all new registrations. Then scrape WHOIS data.

I'm sure this is what they do.

Whenever registering a domain with a TLD that provides zone files with my real WHOIS info filled out I get an email asking me to pay to "get my website on Google".

Can you elaborate on "get zone files"? Is there a way to get all authoritative zone files for a given TLD or equivalent?

Thanks! Seems like you don't have to pay anything actually.
