Unless you are a complete newbie you know the advantages of having a good domain name and one of the best sources is a good expired domain list!

I was investigating a script the returns a list of expired domains, however, these domains are almost all recently expired. So I had a question….

What are the Secrets of Using an Expired Domain List Effectively

How do I purchase a domain from the list of domain names generated by the expired domain list script. So I posted a question on a forum and the below gives you some idea of the process.

Before I list the question and comments I have to say how excited I was and what cool domains showed up. Although I don’t want to steal someones domain if its expired and they plan to renew. Some are really worth scooping up if they are no longer being used. Anyway check out my conversation.

How do I buy a domain that I know is expired. The domain just expired 2 days ago, yet when I search on godaddy to see if I can purchase it says “not available”.

I thought I read someplace that there is a 2 week waiting period, but I also thought that there is a way I can get first in line to make the purchase should the owner not renew.

Anyone know the proper way to do this?

Thanks

Scott

========================

You need to backorder it at places like snap, afternic, godaddy, namejet etc.
Only one of these places will grab the domain so you need to cover your bases. If many people want it then it will go to auction and the highest bidder will get it.

Also if it expired just 2 days ago then the grace period is active. This means the original owner can still renew it during this period.

Thanks longroad…seems to be the road I’ve been on for the last 10 years

So…do you have to wait for the 2 weeks to be up before backordering?

==========================

every registrar will have a different grace period. you can backorder at any time and if no one else backorders, it will be yours.
You can backorder domains that are expiring in 5 years if you want, there’s no time limit

There are litterally hundreds if not thousands of domains that expire everyday and there are many advnatages when using expired domains. Here’s just a short list of expired domains from the expired domain list!

I’ve seen opinions on domain name configuration on both sides, just like politics…one expert says don’t worry about keywords in your domain….the next expert says make sure you have a keyword in your domain. I’ve seen this flip flopping over the last 4 years.

However, I think most seo experts will tell you to include part or all of your keyword(s) in your domain name. You have to remember though, if your blogging in an effort to get your url passed around, I think its important to have something that can be easily remembered. In other words, if you make bumper stickers with your domain name in it, you don’t want a 4 or 5 word domain name.

When blogging keywords become really important when you name your categories. So, make sure your category names are keyword rich. For instance, Bush a Great President or Bill First Man.

Next and most important is the use your keyword phrase in the title of your post. No matter how difficult, you’ll gain much traction if you put your keyword in your blog post title. This ultimately is how the search engine spiders figure out what your post is about and will send traffic when that keyword or keyword phrase is searched on.

Finally, try to use your keyword or keyword phrase in the first sentence of your post and also in the end of your post. Seems the search engine spiders look at the beginning and end of each post…if its a long post make sure you stick it in the middle ofthe post also.

OK…thought of something else. If you have comments enabled and people began to post comments on your posts….make sure you respond and in your response make sure you use the keywords that a relevant to that individual post. In other words if you make a post of Bill Clinton possibly being the first first lady/man. Respond the the comments using Bill Cinton and first lady.

Here’s another thought that is controversial but I just heard someone of authority speak on the issue. If you haven’t purchased your domain name yet, you have the option to purchase for a year or any lenght of time. Supposedly you get seo points and It’s better if you purchase for anything other than 1 year. I’m pretty broke so I do all mine for a year, but it makes sense if you think of the past years how guys would buy 100’s if not 1000’s of domain names and mass create adsense sites….all these domains would always be purchased for only a year since they could get dropped at any time.

Bottom line, keywords, keyword phrases, and/or long tailed keywords are always important, but beware of how you use them and always use them judicially. In other words, don’t compose a 200 word post and put the keyword in 20 times. Write your articles/posts as any type of normal writing but keep the subject matter focused by the proper use of keywords.

Hope that helps,

Scott

Domain Names…what’s good and what’s bad.
There are many ways to look at that question, or should I say, answer that question. The first thing to consider is the purpose of your website and domain name. For instance, are you advertising an offline business? If this is the case than you want a domain name that is easy to remember, easy to write down, brands your business and if possible has a keyword or two in the domain name. And maybe the most important is that the domain is a .com name.

In other words, the domain will end in .com not .info…, .net…., .org etc. The .com ending instantly conveys presense on the internet. To some it might indicate that you have been on the interent for a long term of time. In any case, the .com ending seems to convey a degree of comfort to the normal internet surfer or better put, someone surfing for your business. If you’re creating content sites that you wish to be autority sites or portal sites then its important to get a domain name with your keyword in it.

I ran into a couple of ways you might come up with these keyword laden domain names. This first site is free and you can find it at Keyword Laden Domain Names the site is intuitive, simple enter your keyword and you’ll get some options. I’m assuming you’ll be using the site for adsense, ccp, or some other form of monetization like affiliate marketing. In case you’re brand new. Let’s say your putting up a site on flyfishing and it will only have 10 articles. You have your low hanging keywords, you know what type of traffic to expect and your looking to monetize by collecting email and name along with adsense, your own plr prduct and maybe affiliate products. This is important and the point of this post….doesn’t it make sense to have a domain name with some form of the word flyfishing?

I use Godaddy to purchase all my domains and you can usually find a discount by clicking on the small banner below:

Another tool for finding keyword laden domain names is a tool by Rod Beckwith called ….Domain Suggestion Tool Good luck and have some fun. The whole business of internet marketing is putting together the pieces as you learn them…while yet, being able to discern the difference between the basics and following a rabbit trail. Don’t get stuck following rabbit trails Best Wishes, Scott
