Why Would Anyone In Their Right Minds Let Go Of A Domain That’s Generatic Sizeable Volumes Of Traffic & Income?
There are many reasons why domain names can sometimes be let go of. Here are a couple of examples:
People move on. They find other business opportunities which they plough themselves into. Sometimes they don’t feel it worthwhile to maintain the domain name they once invested so much effort and expense into. The result is a domain name that attracts good amounts of traffic that can be reshaped to fit in with your new project. It’s even possible to find a domain name that fits this criteria and then create a business model for it. If there is significant traffic pointing to it then a simple 1to10 page site that carefully blends Adsense & affiliate income can start earning an income right off the bat.
The business that had registered and used the domain no longer exists. If you’re reading this then there’s a very good chance that you’re an internet business entrepreneur. However, there are many large corporations that also register domain names on a daily basis. These companies can go bust (thereby exposing the domain to re-ownership) or the particular project that the domain was registered for may no longer be around. Now large corporations may spend hundreds even thousands of dollars on advertising and SEO to get traffic to that domain, but once the domain is no longer needed it may not be worth their while to keep it. It gets abandoned. It still has dynamic traffic streams coming its way. It can be reclaimed. And that’s where you can really benefit.
There are more reasons ranging from death to procrastination, but the above listed are the main ones. The next section looks at some sinister reasons that some domain names may be released (and you really need to know about this before ordering an expired domain).
Beware Expired Domains With A Sinister Past
Not all expired domains are all that they appear. Sometimes a domain name may be purposely released by the previous owner. Why would anyone do this? If for example, the domain name has been tagged by the major search engines as a “spam site ”, and you buy it, then you may just have made a terrible mistake.
Once a site is tagged as a spam site, for example by Google, it will be banned from search engine results. Even though you want to turn it into an honest website, it will remain banned from Google. And there’s really not much you can do to change that.
So once you get a potential expired domain that you’d like to add to your virtual real estate portfolio, ensure that the domain name was not a spam site or banned from the popular search engines for whatever reason. Remember also that if a site is banned from Google, and you take ownership then that’s YOUR NAME behind the banned site. What’s that going to do for your reputation? Not much!
Expired Domain Fortunes The Domain Expiry Process
Domain expiry doesn’t work quite like most people think. A domain doesn’t just plop out of the previous owners hands on the expiration date. Instead, once a domain name passes this date, it enters a static period of 40 days during which the original owner can still re-register it. After this period, the domain then switches to another phase (lasting a further 35 days) whereby the owner can still re-register it (for a significantly higher fee than before). It’s after this period that the general public can then get their hands on these expired domains.
However, after this period things can get tricky. Even if you “backorder” the domain, there’s no certainty that your order will be filled if multiple people are trying to get hold of the same expired domain name. This can happen, particularly in popular niches where the expired domain has thousands of backlinks and a huge surge of daily traffic coming in from the search engines.
Later on I’ll show you one place where you can do a basic search for expired domains for free. First let’s investigate the potential behind buying up expired domains by looking at an example.
A Simple Example - How To Yield A Quick Income By Buying Up Domain Names In Your Niche
Earlier on, we talked about the travel niche as an example where you could potentially buy expired domains to start making a quick income. Now let’s investigate this in a little more detail. The below is a simple model you could employ by combining content (for example any plr content you may have) with expired domains and various targeted affiliate programs and Adsense.
I really do love the travel & holiday niche. It’s a mini-site owners dream. You see, it’s very potent for use with both affiliate & adsense income models. The affiliate commissions for holiday purchases can be several of hundreds of dollars per sale and the Adsense potential is great because many people actively use the internet to research their holidays. Once you get them onto your site, as targeted visitors they will actively click all over your Adsense displays as part of their research for travel deals. By the way, here’s an article about the high-profit travel niche and how anyone can yield an income from it.
