Cheap Expired Domain Name: Is It Really Cheap?

By Eva Pidcock


If you consider yourself a newbie to the realm of expired domain names, then buying an expired web domain name may not be as simple as you expect it to be. Expired and soon to expire domains are a highly competitive market. Everyday a new web site or script emerges to try and capture a piece of this fast moving business. Just to give you an idea, the life cycle of a domain name is about one to ten years while an estimated 2,000 domain names expire every single day. So the one that you may be after could be available pretty soon!

Web domains are those that are either expired but still generate a fair amount of traffic, or the ones that are being searched by web surfers, by simply typing the web site address URL into their web browser. A number of relatively successful websites that expire for whatever reason always come with a considerable rate of traffic as well as inbound links. This is precisely the reason why online entrepreneurs and Web masters rush to buy expired web domains from others who handle the marketing of such domains.

There are plenty of expired web domain names which still command a sufficient level of inbound traffic; when you finally decide to buy such expired domains, you can expect satisfactory results. Once you a buy an expired traffic-rich domain and build a website over it, you can still acquire some 20-25 visitors a day, that ultimately translates in an income of roughly $10. Such type of website is an ideal choice for a pay-per-lead affiliate program. However, as was already mentioned, you can acquire an expired domain with much more visitors on a daily basis and translates to greater revenue on your part.

Most Web masters and professional expired web domain name buyers are searching for unique names, particularly those composed of one syllable, un hyphenated names that can muster several 'type in's'. Such domain names are valuable not only for the name itself but also for dumping strategically laid adverts with a pay per click search engine which can bring in revenue for the name until an interested buyer is ready to purchase the domain name. You may want to check out DMOZ or Yahoo because the names listed there ought to be the ones that you should consider.

You have to be aware of several factors before you start shopping for expired web domain names. First, you should never discount the possibility that the original owner can go after you for apparently 'stealing their name.' Next, you have to make sure that the domain name is listed in a suitable category for your purposes. Finally, you have to make a background check as to the history of the site so that you can rest assured that you are not buying something that was previously used for dubious purposes.
