Hello friends,

Here is a couple of tips before buy an expird domain, maybe can help

10 Tips Before Buy An Expired Domain

1- Check out the real backlinks, for example if you make in Google link:thedomain.com, maybe Google shoot 43434 backlinks, you say Great! But before say something... I high recommend visit some backlinks to check if the domain is. As you know Google doesn't update daily the backlinks. To make it easy open FireFox browser --> Edit --> See Source Code, then search the domain (in Firefox Ctrol+F), this process save time! If the domain name is not more in the backlink website, in the next Google PR update the domain will lose the power

2- Check out if the domain is in Yahoo, this can help a lot! If the domain is in Yahoo directory you are saving MONEY USD 300 / yearly

3- Check out if the domain is in Dmoz Directory, here you will save TIME!

4- You can use Internet Archive to check the old design, content, etc

5- Remember, if the domain KEEP the backlinks, the domain will KEEP the PR. (seep step 10)

6- Remember, the process to buy an expired domain can take time, maybe one month or more. This is time to build your next website with a good design. No More directories, LOL joke!!

7- Check out if the domain has gov, edu backlinks. Help a lot!

8- Before buy a domain, check out the history, I saw many good PR, but really I didn´t like the domain history, for example personal Gov domains, etc really we won’t to have problem in the future, right ? Use Internet Archive

9- If you find out a travel related domain, try to create a travel related site, as I can saw there are many people building websites with expired domain not related with the old content, for example, domains with name savemytree with new content with travel related. The best way for savemytree is create a website talking about trees, flowers, etc....

10- Keep working in your expired domain as a new domain.. Adding content, linkbuilding, etc etc , Check out a resource list to promote a website.

Bonus: If you find out an expired domain with traffic you can use it to redirect traffic to your new domain.

Remember you can use [link removed] to search expired / expiring domains

Best regards!

I would like to add something: aslo check spamhouse.org.
for any domain names (third level domains also).

Stole my words Siber, you should always make sure that you check for spam!

Also you must be ready not to recieve the name as there are many dropcatchers and many of them don't drop, they get renewed most of the time!

You forgot to add using site and info command on google to see if the domain wasn't redirecting to any other domain before (cause of fake page rank).

Nice tips. I don't like buying expired domains as usually as soon as they realise that they're linking to a expired site your linkbacks will just drop, but if something comes up that suits my business I'll buy it
