Why Not Create a Network from Dropped Domains?

you are not missing anything really people do that. There's some argument google might not like dropped domains as much.

Three reasons keep people from doing this

A) finding good domains that have dropped already are harder to find
B) a number of dropped domains have been deindexed as a penalty and a lot of the time it is almost impossible to tell they have been deindexed until after you buy and set them up (could have all the links in the world -domains deindexed by Google penalty have zero ranking effect on Google..
C) With zero evidence (and strong evidence against) many people insist when domains drop they lose their link juice. The myth is so strong that even when you show them sites rising in ranks using dropped domains they still claim otherwise.

Expired Domains With High Authority Backlinks - From Just $40 Each

I buy plenty of solid dropped domains from my broker, all indexed, he takes care of that, however they don't come from obvious auction sites like GoDaddy.

In fact those are not the typical old dropped domains but domains that are back ordered (on registrars that don't held auctions) and that aren't scraped by Namejet and the like.

Domains that have been dropped for many years haven't been very valuable to me to be honest, despite decent back link profiles, while fresh dropped ones are as good as expired ones. At least that's my experience and I bought quite a few domains.

Thanks

Nik dropped names can't come from any auction. They are dropped which means no one controls them. Godaddy, namejet etc are all expiring domains that have not yet officially dropped.

I don't know how he gets his hands on them but they come from registrars that aren't scraped by Register Compass, Fresh Drop or back order services like Namejet, that's probably why he always has good deals.

And they are dropped and he sells them like they're dropped as he always has 2 rows in his excel files, one dropped, one expired, and the dropped ones are a lot cheaper of course. Perhaps he back orders it at the registrar himself or something.

Wasn't disputing them being dropped but dropped domains are not sold at godaddy auctions(unless they were registered again and dropped awhile back).

P.S. dropped is the same as expired. Auctions in reality really sell expiring domains not expired ones.

Most likely because your buying random niche domains based on only SEO.

I picked up a same niche domain the other day with direct traffic & decent link profile, nothing to brag about as far as SEO but it still has a lot of same niche links in place. Impossible to buy that kind of long term traffic anyplace else for $10.

In order to beat this reason I would recommend anybody interested in getting some juicy domains to look for domains in other languages the best example is spanish, this is a market not many people is looking into it and there are so many spanish speakers on the USA that you can get a domain with very relevant profile, with super good backlinks from major USA sites, but as long as the domain makes sense just in another language people dont look for them.

You still have to put content to them. With some that can be pretty difficult.

Actually I'm editing this. Maybe some retain there PR even without content because of backlinks? Using these as a 301 redirect could be powerful. Cant confirm this though because I only build content on domains.

They are not so easy to find cause almost all of the domains that expired recently and that have decent metrics are churn & burn left over's targeting viagra and replica kind of stuff. Just check expireddomains.net yourself and then go to the "Deleted" section and filter on DA30+ and you'll see what I mean.

Domains that expired ages ago have lost a bit of their power imo and become more hard to find by the day as it's based on a pool of domains that expired like 8+ years ago (back then when there were no auctions) so that pool is getting thinner and thinner.

Interesting

Besides that, domains that expired long ago become harder to find, you admitted that yourself in this thread somewhere above or a related thread so no idea why you disagree now. While they become harder to find you have to find them on pages that aren't that easy to find. When I have a hard time finding them through Google, then Google itself deals with that as well, and thus less frequently crawled, if at all, and thus the results from those domains are poor, multiple people at FCS forum already admitted that as well.

I bought a batch of 100 of such domains myself and tested it so it's not like I grab it from the air, anyway I just dumped half of them after a while as it wasn't worth the price of content to keep posting on them, despite the PR4-PR5 back links pointing at it and those domains were bought a year ago when they were still relatively easy to find.

Yes it is interesting that you think the pool of available names is restricted to 8+ years ago and/or is not growing. It just suits those of us who know better to keep as many people in the dark. So hey doubt it ....laugh at it ...its all good.....Thats actually a good thing for me

Besides that, domains that expired long ago become harder to find, you admitted that yourself in this thread somewhere above or a related thread so no idea why you disagree now.

Of course they are harder to find thats what makes it valuable when you do figure out how to find them. Who cares about FCS forum. If you are doing it the way posted on a forum where there are scores to hundreds of people doing it the same way of course you are doing it wrong and the pickings will be slim (How the world they can't figure out the various techniques to get old link recrawled is their problem). Most people are doing it hayden style. That IS dead.

I just picked up a domain with 4 PR7 and a bunch of others links. You will say that they are too old and won't get back their juice (false anyway) but guess what?

ITS STILL INDEXED

So no the right technique does not just yield domains from "8+ years ago". It just does not suit us to explain how to do it because that is EXACTLY what killed the Hayden method.

Can you find valuable dropped domains after expiration? Sure you can -

Is it more difficult and riskier than purchasing similar domains at auction before they drop? I think so . . . .

Couple that with the considerable time and effort it takes to set the sites up and properly build out any PBN - and I am not sure I'd want to drop that kind of time on names that were bought for $8 . . . .

My advice for the more popular auction sites is to just bid on a TON of names (set a cap on what you will bid on each name - and bid on a TON of domains) - because from what I have seen similar names can have a dizzying range of ending auction prices.

I have bought PR3 domains with good DA (20-30+) TF (10-20+) and CF (10-20+) with solid links from older sites for $20-$40 - and then I have regularly seen other LESS quality domains (with no obvious commercial use other than a PBN) go for $200-$400 . . .

Dropped names does NOT mean blacklisted. I have used dropped domains for years. Sites that I had up but forgot about have expired and I pick them up after a drop with no bad consequence. Thats a myth. deindexed and not indexed are two different things. One is a manual penalty the other is not.

I have bought many such domains (i.e. those that have expired and been de-indexed) and the majority have been indexed again.

PR depends on links and nothing else - if the backlinks still exist then PR will come back.

I would say it depends on how long the URL has been dropped. I would use a timeframe as a threshold. I have built a network with dropped domains and getting great results. I don't buy anything older than 45 days though. That is just my rule of thumb though.

There is no timeframe. You just made that up. If brand new sites with no links get indexed it is totally ridiculous to claim that registering a domain that someone used a few years ago will not get indexed. The only thing that will stop a domain from getting reindexed is a previous manual penalty. the only thing presently will stop the links from counting is if the site the link it is on is no longer crawled. If people do not know how to get them crawled then ...leave the goodies to those who do

As far as damongreene is concerned, message #40 gets my point. Drop your 45 day rule and new worlds will open up to you. DO NOT drop general caution rules, such as watching out for spammy links. But if a domain was dropped many months ago and has no or few spammy links it is worth considering. Glad to be of help.

I'll take my genuine experience over your gut feeling any day of the week!

At the risk of flogging a dead horse here, domains that have dropped/expired many months (or more) ago still carry link juice IF their backlinks still remain.

Yes you have to watch out for spammy former use as with any other domain you buy, yes it may take a few days for the domain to get reindexed and yes the full power of all the backlinks can take a little longer to come into effect but in the end it's the same deal: good backlinks still mean good juice which still means good ranking power.

Case closed.

I am not sure whether this affects this discussion at all. I used to be a big link seller but got repeatedly hammered by Google. In Dec last year, Google carried out a couple of PR update which wiped out the inventories of almost every link broker. One link broker went as far as to ban users for logging in with Google Chrome. Others are making big changes to their system.

I have in my possession a list of over 2900 PR1-9 sites provided by a link broker in Sep last year. As of January, over 2600 have gone down to PR0 or been de-indexed altogether. I suspect that most sites on that list were expired domains. I would be surprised if sold links were found on all these sites. I am wondering Google has actually reset the PR of these expired domains to 0. Either way, it is extremely bad times for the link industry.

I know what you mean. A lot of my sites were kicked down to PR0. A few of them were actually kicked up. I am not sure what the rationale was.

My tentative theory is that the sites which were kicked down to PR0 got very little attention from me, got very few new posts, and the new posts were not very good. The sites that were kicked up got more and better posts from me. (PS I'm talking about a handful of sites, not thousands. And I never rented space to anyone else, all sites were mine and mine alone.)

Obviously Matt Cutts and his cohorts are now aware of the link selling business. My solution: 1) I don't sell to anyone else; 2) I try to treat my domains like real domains by adding posts and other stuff which normal domains should have.

See now that's what I don't understand. Why are you surprised? I would never get into the broker business the way I see it done. You are sitting there with a list that how many other people have? and you have paid little or nothing for it. Everyone wants to see the domains and check them out before buying but that only means the seller has to show it to a whole lot of people who will not buy it. Exactly how hard is it for google to get their hands on it?

Second issue is most brokers I see don't set up the sites at all (too much work on all those domains) so they sit and lose links naturally.

Third issue is that because most people still go off of PR brokers have a ton of worthless domains they buy that show PR all of which will go down in the next update

Nothing surprising
