    I use Godaddy auctions. ExpiredDomain is also good but others are faster.

    Yes me too I use godaddy , expired buynow and everything they have . But you need to select good ones thats why I use tools to select good domain with Authority and no spammy backlinks from other unuseful spammed to dead domains.

    If you are looking at auctions, Register Compass is the way to go.

    @MikeFriedman , you are totally right . Those are really well spent money . But with time I just developed a tool that can do the same work . In the end its all about filtering the Godaddy database . But register compass has much more than just Godaddy..

      Domcop.

      One click on most domains and you get the top backlinks. HUGE bonus that made me leave Register compass in the rear view mirrror.

          We do have the option to see all the "Buy Now" domains from GoDaddy. You can follow the two steps to only filter these domains by choosing these settings in the Simple (or Advanced) search screen.

          1. In the "Domain Sources" setting only select "GoDaddy"

          2. In the "Listing Types" setting only select "Buy Now"

          If you have any more questions, you can ask them here, PM me or just shoot an email to support@domcop.com

        I logged in at DomCop last night and they are not very accurate with their about to expire dates are they?

        I clicked on the "Expiring" tab, and first checked the availability of some that would expire in 1-3 minutes, they were already available to register, than I checked some that would be expiring in 1 day from now, same thing, free to register yet.

        Then I went one step further, put up some additional filters to trim the list and checked domains that would expire in 10 days from now (with expire I obvious mean pending delete), and guess what, once again the few random ones I picked were already available to register for reg fee.

        Maybe a temporarily glitch?

    I only use expireddomains.net to look for expired domain. Majestic, Moz, Archive.org to check for backlink quality. On average I found 1 domain/day (I scout daily). Cost 10$/domain.

    How's the cost on Auction site? Any insights?

      Use Register Compass, the Archive.org, and then ahrefs.com

      Register Compass to identify the site and get in on auctions
      thru Namejet or other sources. I don't recommend GoDaddy.
      I like them as a company but their expired sites I find to be
      either lousy or overpriced. Not all but most.

      Archive.org will show you what the site looked like and the
      content.

      Ahrefs is perhaps the most important. This is where you can
      reasearch the links and find out which ones are active.

    I've heard Domcop is good. But good expired domains are getting expensive these days.

    Find them all myself. Scrapebox + Xenu.

    Pros: avoid the cesspool of expired domain drop aggregators and auction houses.
    Cons: takes longer.

    In the end, Pros > Cons.

      I use the following:

      1) DomCop

      Provides a list of most auctions including several useful metrics


      2) Netpeak Checker

      I also download lists directly from registrar auction, or scrape them using the tool in point 3 and use Netpeak Checker to check PR, DA, MozRank, MozTrust and pre-filter on that, that mostly leaves me with a list of 100 domains or so (depending on source list obvious)


      3) RDDZ

      I load the domains into RDDZ to check the CF / TF from the domains and filter on that again. If I have a real interesting domain in the auctions I also run the backlinks through RDDZ to see if the links are live and to check the CF/TF from the backlinks, as well as to see if they are dofollow.


      4) Ahrefs

      I run the remaining domains one by one through Ahrefs to check the anchor profile, as well as Ahrefs URL rank for the links, for now this works quicker than RDDZ but soon they support a function to load domains in bulk so then I don't need to take this extra step.


      5) Scrapebox

      I also use Scrapebox to filter out non .org .net .com domains in case I download or scrape a domain list directly from the registrar instead of using DomCop.


      All together takes me about 2 hours to go through an auction list of let's say 5000 domains and then I'm left with a dozen or less domains to bid on.
