How do expired domains make money?

There exist four main ways to monetize expired domains.

- Domain Flipping - Sell the domain after buying it. This works very well for premium domains.
- PBN - Host a private blog network and provide link building services.
- Website Flipping - Set up a website on the expired domain, improve SEO, and then flip the website once it gains enough web traffic
- Affiliate Marketing - Setup a product focused authority site, and monetize using either affiliate links or by running ads via Google AdSense
- Redirecting Authority - 301 Redirect the domain directly to their money sites

Find Great Expired Domains at DomCop

Can I buy an expired domain?

Yes. You can register an expired domain if the previous owner has not renewed it.

Many domain owners either forget to renew their domain name, or decide that they no longer want it, and so let it expire.

After expiration, the owner has 30 days till when they can still renew the domain for a substantial fee. After this grace period is over, the domain is available for anyone to purchase.

Where can I buy expired domains?

When a domain expires, you can purchase it from any domain registrar of your choice, as long as they support the TLD.

Domain investors will also buy a premium domain name directly from certain domain registrars like GoDaddy and NameCheap. Premium expired domains are mostly found on GoDaddy Auctions. Other domain auction sites like DynaDot do not have as much inventory as GoDaddy does.

Why can't I buy an expired domain?

Once the grace period is over, the original owners cannot renew the domain, the domain enters a 5 day Pending Delete state (for most top-level domains). During this state, no one can purchase the domain. You will need to wait for the Pending Delete state to be over to purchase this domain.

What to check before buying an expired domain?

Here are the important metrics to look at while buying domains. For backlink quality, Ahrefs, Moz & Majestic link metrics are considered the top metrics.

- Quality Backlink Profile (Moz Metrics - Domain Authority & Page Authority)
- The 3 year Moz Domain Authority Trend
- Quality Inboud Links (Majestic Metrics - Trust Flow & Citation Flow)
- Total Referring Domains (Moz & Majestic)
- Open Page Rank (Domain Rating)
- No Spammy Backlinks
- Domain Age
- High Organic Traffic
- Wayback Machine Archive
- Alexa Rank
- Outbound Links
- Website found in Google Index

What is the benefit of buying expired domains over a brand new domain?

An expired domain with high quality backlinks has a certain SEO value which helps it rank better on search results pages of the search engines. Since the site's ranking is directly dependant on backlinks, hosting your main site on such a domain is much better than doing so on a brand new domain.

Additionally, the old site on the expired domain may have high traffic, which is an additional benefit.

What is the right place to find the best domains to purchase?

The best place to find your perfect domain name is DomCop. It has a bunch of domain lists, with dropped domains and deleted domains. Each lists has 90+ metrics to analyze the expired domain's backlinks and find domains for your business.

There wasn't a website which would give me all the information I wanted until I came across DomCop. DomCop is a real timesaver for me as everything is in one place and I have no reason to spend a long time trying to find high value expiring domains anymore.

Given your new business website a head start!

Find expired domains within your price range for your new site and gain search rankings by leveraging the link juice and direct traffic. When done right, every domain will get the traffic it deserves.
