The Power Of Expired Domains

This one is a good idea for those of you who don’t have a high page rank or want to get indexed immediately. Go to www.1Expired.com. This is the place I use to check for expired domains. Then, you can go to Google and check using the “site:” function. Once you do this, you can establish the total number of backlinks from one domain.

Example of a good expired domain = 5,000 pages indexed by Google. Don’t dream of finding these domains anymore. Several SEOs have already found them. Example of bad expired domain = 0 pages i.e. not indexed by Google at all.

Now, granted, Google is not really paying close attention to these domains anymore, and the biggest drawback is that when you have these links, you need to extract them and generate pages about them so that you can have the benefit. Plus, there are going to be some sites that remove your link so you don’t get the PR benefit.

Doesn’t matter. Most important is you already have a Google index. No paying, no extra hassle. Just update your site, put up a sitemap and you should be all right in terms of being found by Google Bot.

If you want to get a chance to get great domains, you must seek out foreign language sites. I found a Korean domain which had 13,800 pages indexed. Unfortunately, I don’t read or write Korean. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. I’m certain that there are many more in Japanese, Korean, Chinese websites that have expired.
