Link to a forum : Sharing some tips

06-05-2007(66 posts)

First commetn from this forum :

"Hey guys..... After reading the financial success thread, I thought it might be a nice idea if people who have been around domains for a bit took a minute or two or three to share one or more tips.

I'll get the ball rolling and hopefully others will chime in

Try and not be a jack of all trades when it comes to domains unless you have incredibly deep pockets to begin with. Try focusing instead on a few areas. Ones you can learn about inside and out. This makes it easier to get SOME kind of momentum going, to maximize sales opportunities, to maximize monetization possibilities, to be able to spot good deals on the acquisition side, to be able to purchase domains at a fair price that you can make an immediate profit on because you know how to best monetize or you have the benefit of volume."

Article : Finding Recently Deleted / Expired Domains

There are many reasons why people buy expired domain names. One of the reasons these recently deleted domains are attractive is the notion that they are more favored by the search engines than new domains, and many of them carry good page rank. For example, many expired yahoo domains and those found in DMOZ contains page rank 3 and more. Furthermore, buying yahoo expired domains could save you a few hundred dollars a year.

Expired domains are web site addresses that have been registered and the owner has failed to pay to keep the domain registration. What happens a lot of the time is people register a domain name, or purchase it for a year, they develop a web site and advertise it, to get targeted traffic. But for whatever reason, the domain owner failed to or decided not to extend it when it's due for renewal.

There are many benefits for picking up recently expired domain name, unlike a new domain name, they already has traffic that can come from search engine promotion, directories, forums, back links and a whole host of other promotion methods. Such domains are obviously worth a lot of money. Register expired domain names that have traffic can be a good web site promotion technique to be used in connection with other website promotion programs. If you are looking for alternative ways to benefit from expired domain traffic to your site, they are a good investment.

Other than using expired domain traffic as a web site promotion technique, you can also buy deleted domain names and develop them into a new website. Once you have found some good quality domains that are about to expire or have just expired then you will need to back order them to give yourself a chance of getting your hands on the ones that you have found.

Surely you would know by now, that if you were to purchase a brand new domain, you would have to do all the advertising, promotion, SEO work, submission to search engines, forums, and directories yourself.

To buy expired domain traffic is all about capturing all the effort, time and money that the previous owner developed and putting it to good use for yourself. While there is no way to gauge the actual amount of traffic going to a recently deleted domain, you can find out its link popularity in the major search engines.

"This is the last straw; I got ONE EMAIL PER DOMAIN REGISTERED asking if I want to register myname.tld last night apparently.

I just tried to transfer them away,
Authorization Code: Send by Email

After clicking, it's been about a day or so - nothing. I've checked and double checked.

I called 480-505-8877/8855 and was on hold for 2 hours, and then got asked half a million times why I wanted to transfer anyways, and why I wasn't satisfied.

As of right now, domains still aren't moved."
