Why You Should Buy Expired Domains Revisited

Why should you buy expired domains ? I have written about this subject previously, but it is time to highlight once again this great opportunity.

There are many good reasons if you are interested in making money online. One reason is that these domains are aged which increases their popularity in the eyes of the search engines. There may even still have PR ( best to check with a site such as estibot ). Also, they may have backlinks that are still intact.

There are many websites out there that claim to have an exclusive list that you can purchase of premium names that are about to expire or others that still receive lots of organic traffic. Make sure that you research these websites before you buy expired domains from them. Some of these sites are advertising high number of hits to certain sites, when in fact, the traffic was generated by them. Of course, they are only doing this to entice people to sign up and to pay. In other words, make sure that you are buying your expired domains from a place that has lots of good reviews and great status.

If you are not sure where to look when you are ready to buy expired domains, I have a suggestion for you. Try out freshdrop for researching and purchasing expired domains. They have lots of information on the expired domains on their site. Select the option closeouts and you will notice that it is possible to pick up most of these domains for as little as $5 each ( plus you will have to buy to register each domain ).

When selecting an expired domain, make sure that it contains a nice keyword within its name. Also, check to see which niche or area it was focussed in on when it was online. Lots of times you will be getting traffic right away. Good luck with your search for expired domains and let me know how it goes for you.

Purchasing Domain Names

Purchasing domain names doesn’t have to be a scary process. It is ok to make mistakes in the beginning. The cost nowadays for domain names is so cheap that it will not break you financially. Unless of course you buy  hundreds of stupid useless domain names without thinking or planning beforehand.

I had purchased too many strange names in the beginning. I thought that if I can find a domain name that had just two dictionary words included together without dashes that I was going to make big bucks just selling the domains shortly afterward. Purchasing domain names is not rocket science, but to do it correctly does require a little bit of thought.

Make sure that you research different phrases, before purchasing domain names, that are typed in relatively often into search engines and that have low competition. Don’t register a super long tailed phrases just because you have heard the phrase spoken one time last month. Choose a phrase that has at least 250 type-ins per month and 10,000 or less sites on the internet trying to exploit that particular phrase. Your chances of registering a domain name that  can be sold easily or developed to make money online are now much higher.

The software package that I use on a daily basis to pick great phrases is micro niche finder . Its newest update makes it super easy to zero in on powerful niches. You should try it out and let me know how it works out for you.

Should You Buy Four Letter Dot Com Domains

L-L-L-L ! What does that spell ? Nothing, but it would make a nice domain name.

Be careful when you purchase a 4 letter dot com domain name. They do not all have the same value. Some people believe that they are currently valued at  least $250 even if the letters are all consonants. I can personally tell you that this is not the case. I purchased one today that is void of vowels. I plan on keeping it in my portfolio. I will just keep it as is and hopefully the value will increase over time. Just remember, do not spend a lot on domain names believing that the value will increase. Keep your portfolio diversified.

All of the 4 letter domain names have been registered at one time or another. It is next to impossible to luck into registering one without buying from someone. The ones that are due to expire are being watched closely.

Will the value keep climbing ? Very hard to say, but the supply is limited. As more and more companies have an online presence, the demand will augment. Presently, it still is possible to buy a four letter domain name for around $35 if it is just a combination of consonants only. If you add even one vowel to the mix, then the market value is higher.

Speculators are starting to buy up 4 letter dot net domains. They feel that the value for dot net 4-letter will match the present value of the dot com 4-letter in about 3 years. If you look back at posts that people were making in 2005, you will notice that lots of comments warned people not to invest in 4-letter dot com domain names unless they were an actual dictionary word or were easily pronounced.

You still should be cautious when buying any domain name. There is always some risk involved. If you get stuck with dot net names that do not appreciate for 5 or so years, you will have a loss since you had to pay for the registration fee during that period of time.

Are you starting to add dot net 4-letter domains to your portfolio ? Do you have 4-letter dot com domains in your portfolio presently ?
