Find Expired Domain Names With Traffic

[Matthew Sherborne]

Every week there are literally thousands of abandoned domain names expiring. Some times these domains are quite old or belong to an established website with hundreds or thousands of backlinks and high page rank.


If you know where to look you can frequently find high traffic expiring domains to register. One of the places I like to go to look for promising high visitor traffic domains is at Oddity Software - Data, Design and Development Services

Usually domain names do not expire the second they are not renewed by the owner. when a domain name is not renewed in time by the previous owner by the due date it then enters a 40 day expired domain status. This is known as a grace period in which the registered owner has a chance to re-register the name before it is made available to the public.


After this redemption period the domain enters a 5 day delete phase. Once this time has passed the deleted domain becomes available for anyone to register. High traffic domains are often bidded on by interested parties through a domain backorder service. The person with the highest backordered bid captures the expired domain.


SnapNames is an established expired domain backordering service. You pay Snapnames to watch particular domains you’re interested in. When the domain becomes available SnapNames will quickly register the expired domain name for you.


A great thing about using their domain backorder service is they allow you to choose which domain host you would like to use. This is very helpful if you’d like your domains all in one place. You can find them at https://www.snapnames.com/

DomainAlert is a backordering service that also enables you to capture a domain the second it expires. Through Domain Alert you can find close to 100,000 new expiring domains per month. You’ll be able to browse through a daily updated database of soon to expire domains: Find them at at Domain Alert

For a free listing of deleting domains check out DeletedDomains - Home - Expired/Dropped/Deleted Domain Names Every Day They have a huge list of dropping names that you can sort by keyword.

Nice information. I have tried this with a few domains. Some that have expired and some domains that are "common misspelled" ones. They drive a decent amount of traffic.

Thanks!

I dont even get first hand domain names... Then how can I expect old names when there are thousands bidding for it??
