Hey guys, in using Registercompass for research, after you have filled in the values when searching, you're given a link to the domain results found with the options of sifting through the "expired," "expiring," and "auction" domains.

Question is, what in the world is the difference between those???

Second question, when domain isn't indexed on Google, and bringing back an "NA" for PR value, does that mean that the site has been de-indexed because it has been expired, or de-indexed because of a penalty??

Thanks!

    expired means its available for registering by any party (RC is not up to date so the name could already be reregistered)
    expiring means it soon will be available to the public (you can set the days in RC to filter by how many days
    Auction means its still under the control of the auctioner and they are selling it through auction.

    It can be either. You have to research that. In many cases there will be no way of knowing for sure until you buy it and set it up to see if it will be reindexed

      Hey thanks Mike, you're so helpful!

      It seems like to me, the trick is to find domains that have gone expired, slipped through the cracks, and maintained their backlinks, but show PR N/A as to scare away most domain buyers (novices). Logically, it would seem that once the site was re-registered and set-up, the PR juice would flow right through it, if of course the links are still intact.

      Is there a way to find expired domains that don't go through the traditional auction sites? Assuming that all domains that go through the expiration process, how is it possible to snag up these domains that have expired without them going through the expiration process? Or perhaps maybe even look back to the domains that have expired a while back, but still retained their backlink profile.

      Any ideas?

        I think you have asked this before and you will get as many takers this time as you did the other times. There is no good reason for anyone to share that with you on an open forum or even privately. If I can find great domains for $10 why in the world would I tell you so you can either drive up the price on the domains or take ones I would want to buy in the future? Too many people looking at buying domains through one technique and locations is what drove up the price over at Godaddy

        Anybody answering you with their exact technique and strategy would be a fool.

          Fair enough. Perhaps a signal in the right direction?

      I learned this the hard way. I bought a great domain through GoDaddy Auctions and for around $50, and the seller reneged on the sale. Next thing I see he's got it listed on Sedo for $300. Jerk.

      OP: Try not to look at Expired domains. Auctions are best.

    Godaddy wasn't exactly a covert operation, they're one of the most popular domain/host sellers on the net.

      I understand where you guys are coming from, but I'm seriously having a hard time wrapping my mind around this concept that there is just enough opportunity out there derived from your strategies and ideas, that the market would get saturated.

      On the other hand, I'm not exactly advocating for all out posting of your strategies, but it would be a little helpful to at least point people in the right direction, whether publicly or via PM.

      Idk, my two cents.

    You should go for the auction domains.

    There is n way for you to get a domain without it going through the expiration process, without buying it at auction. Or, just buy a new domain as those don't go through that process.

    There are a lot of very professional people doing this, and if there was a way to get domains without those folks knowing, you would have to go to the individual holders of these domains and negotiate a deal. That happened to me one day, I got a call and the DONATION was negotiated for my domain for a non profit that wanted my domain.

    There are no short cuts.
