How To Get Traffic with Expired Domain Names

One of the biggest problems when it comes to being a new webmaster is attempting to get visitors. This is because it takes both time and money to develop respectable traffic. How is that? Well, if a webmaster tries to get traffic via search engines, he will have to spend a lot of time developing links and creating content. If they try to attract traffic using a pay-per-click scheme, they will need to invest hundreds to thousands of dollars if they wish to choose a high-performance keyword. But there is another method that allows a website to obtain loads of visitors without investing too much time or money. It includes the acquisition of expired domain names.

What is the domain name expired? An expired domain name is a domain name that its owner has never renewed. This might be because of a number of causes, such as disinterest in the original website, lack of money or something more severe, such as the death of an owner. Regardless of why the renewal costs are not paid, the expired domain name still works like any other domain name in cyberspace. There is just one distinction... there is no website associated for the expired domain name, so instead it redirects to a 404 error page.

Indeed, if an expired domain name links to a 404 web page, it's a waste of bandwidth. This has been realized by many domain name companies and therefore many sell expired domain names, either via a normal upstream sales or an expired domain name auction. Prizes might range from less than $100 million to over $1 million for these domain names. Some of these deals might also involve a website.

So how does a webmaster decide if it's worth buying an expired domain name? First, you need to verify to view the expired domain name of the Google page. To do so, you need to download the toolbar of Google, and then input the expired domain name URL. The toolbar then informs them about the rank of the page. When the page rank indication is gray, it is necessary to avoid the expired domain name since this implies the site is prohibited by Google. It should be alright otherwise, however webmasters should also take into account the real amount of the page rank. When the number is between 6 and 10, the expired domain name should be considered.
Second, webmasters must figure out the expired domain name rating of Alexa. The ranking of Alexa determines how much traffic a domain name has really received. If a website has not received considerable traffic, there will be no Alexa rating. For an expired domain name to determine the Alexa rating, webmasters have to visit Alexa.com.

Webmasters must finally examine how many sites connect to the expired domain name. To do this, the command link must be placed: followed by the URL of the expired domain name in the search engine. 

If several links are retrieved, this is a sign that traffic from genuine sources came into the expired domain name.
