It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy a good expired domain these days, because almost all words in a Standard English dictionary have been used to register domain names! Generic and single, two or three letter names are no longer available, unless you buy them at a hefty price. Most of the names available in an expired domain portfolio are just good enough to get you very small income. The secret key to expired domain business is buying one that possesses a flood of incoming links and traffic. If you find a domain name that has this kind of traffic, you can just go ahead and buy it depending on the price bracket.
Look at some of the following domain names that saw astronomical sums quoted by their owners!
Most of these domains are premium. Because they are either single dictionary, word or they represent immense business value to the domain. Such names are very difficult to purchase and most of them may never see the open market in their lifetime. Thousands of them still exist in private auction sales, where an ordinary domain trader will find it very difficult to participate in the bidding process.
If other traders already purchase all the great domain names, what is left for you? How do you buy expired domain names that you can sell in the market? Can you buy domain names with at least some commercial value? It is as difficult as finding a small pin in a big pile of grass! However, there are still hopes left for you, because you can still buy some good names that you can sell for decent profits. Just remember that domain-trading business is a sum game, where you will be selling a number of expired domain names for small profits. Also, note that selling just one or two major expired domain names is not actually a lucrative proposition. You may end up in chasing for these names without any productive results and spend considerable amount of time and energy.
Good domains are those nuggets or gold that can be your invaluable assets for life! On the other hand, you can never keep those nuggets of gold forever, because they will be useless to keep with you when you speak in terms of commercial viability. Common sense dictates that you must sell them for decent profits as soon as possible. Only exception here is that you may keep those domain names that are organic and generic with one, two or three words. Such domain names are the real gems that you can preserve for selling at astronomical sums.
Before you want to buy expired domain names, you may wish to learn the techniques of detecting good expired domain names from a big pool of expired domain names. You can use a number of sophisticated and efficient tools and methods that have the ability to seek and detect excellent domain names.
