Increase blog traffic

Every day thousands of domains ‘expire’ and are available domains that anyone can register. This domains are very valuable if you are looking for a quality domain for your online business, or if you want to re-sell them for profit. But wait! There is another huge advantage to a domain that was previously owned - Instant Traffic!

Here is a little video “tutorial” that i found on google about expired domains traffic and blogs. Enjoy it !

As I said above, expired domains have all been owned by someone in the past. Many of these previous owners built Websites for these domains, advertised them, registered them with search engines, and even exchanged links with other sites. All translating into traffic to that domain name.

Now, why would someone who took the time to do all that work let the domain expire? It could be one of several reasons:

* the author simply lost interest * an online venture ran out of funding * poor management of the domain * they couldn’t afford the fees

Whatever the reason, it happens. And you can reclaim some of the wasted traffic and send traffic to your blog or you can build a brand new site.

How do you know if an expired domain has traffic?

While there is no way to gauge the actual amount of traffic going to an expired domain, you can find out its link popularity in the major search engines. This will tell you the number of Web pages listed in a particular search engine that link to that domain. The more links, the higher link popularity and the more traffic that domain is getting (in some search engines, the higher ranking, too).

I think when you are looking for an expired domain, you must be interested in traffic no PR :)
That is my opinion…

Lots of good info. I picked up a domain recently using the same kind of techniques and am really excited about it.

I am one of those people that has let go of domains that I got a bit of PR on. Just not enough action and I let them go. Maybe we should be keeping all domains, even if they are not crap… just having them parked somewhere getting ad revenue.
