No, GoDaddy backorders is a drop catching service. For it to work, the domain has to hit the wild, so if someone bought the domain in TDNAM you wouldn't get it.
Basically:
If the domain you want was regged with GoDaddy, Network Solutions, or eNom, buy it out of their aftermarket (much cheaper, better chance).
Otherwise hire drop catchers. You can hire several, because you only pay the winner. However, be careful what you're getting yourself into here - for that the original article is still very relevant.
Just go to Godaddy.com and click on Domain Auctions. Their dropcatching of deleting names isn't that good, however, it's the place to go to get a name that was registered at Godaddy/WildWest.
For expired names that were registered at Godaddy/Wildest, the name goes into a 10 day auction around 25 days after expiration. At the end of the 10 days, it goes to the highest bidder. Then the winning bidder has to wait another 7 days before the domain is in their possession.

So, to get involved in this "TDNAM," all you have to do is pay GoDaddy's $20 backorder fee and wait for the expiration date to hit?
