Every day thousands of domains 'expire' and are put back into the pool of available domains that
anyone can register. They can be very valuable if you are looking for a quality domain for your
online business, or if you want to re-sell them for profit. But wait! There is another huge
advantage to a domain that was previously owned -- Instant Traffic!
As I said above, expired domains have all been owned by someone in the past. Many of these
previous owners built Websites for these domains, advertised them, registered them with search
engines, and even exchanged links with other sites. All translating into traffic to that domain name.
Now, why would someone who took the time to do all that work let the domain expire? It could be
one of several reasons:
* the author simply lost interest * an online venture ran out of funding * poor management of the
domain * they couldn't afford the fees
Whatever the reason, it happens. And you can reclaim some of the wasted traffic and use it to
your advantage. You can either point it to your existing site or use it to jumpstart and add value to
a new site.
How do you know if an expired domain has traffic?
While there is no way to gauge the actual amount of traffic going to an expired domain, you can
find out its link popularity in the major search engines. This will tell you the number of Web pages
listed in a particular search engine that link to that domain. The more links, the higher link
popularity and the more traffic that domain is getting (in some search engines, the higher ranking,
too).
A free online tool to help you find the link popularity of an individual domain at five top search
engines can be found at http://www.Webofsuccess.com/popularity/popularity.cgi
Another way I recently discovered is to use this powerful software program called Popular
Domains. Among other features, it allows you to import a list of expired domains and automatically
check the link popularity of each one. To learn more about it, check out
http://www.Webofsuccess.com/domainsweekly/popular.html
As you can see, this can be an affordable way to gain instant traffic to your site. Be nice, though,
and do not abuse this technique, make sure the site you are sending traffic to relates to the
domain. For example don't register the expired domain 'ehairplugs.com' just because it has a high
link popularity and then forward the domain to your site about Internet marketing. Other than that
you may use your new domain with 'built-in' traffic however you wish!
