Dangers of Dropped or Expired Domain Names

There are many dangers in buying a dropped domain name. A dropped domain name is basically a domain that was purchased by someone else, but that person let the domain expire. This can happen for many reasons. The owner may have forgotten to renew the domain, in which case you may be able to turn a profit in selling the domain back to the original owner. The owner may have let the domain name expire due to any number of reasons as well, although the most common reason for this is that their enterprise failed.

Beware of the Danger

This is where the danger lies. Expired domain names come with a history, and that history remains with the domain even after you buy it. If the domain has a low PR rating, it could seriously affect your success with the domain. The domain may also have been used for spamming or other illegal activity, in which case you may have problems getting visitors to your website. Search engines can also be wary of the domain, or simply have banned it from their registries due to a break in terms of service.

Before buying any domain you should be certain that it is not a dropped domain name. Many people will engage in illegal, unethical, and immoral activities with a domain until it is banned from all emails and search engines, and then drop it for a new domain name. If you get one of these domains, you will be stuck with a designing of website that no one will list, no one will visit, and everyone will ignore.

Check Out Domain before Purchase

The best way to protect you from this type of situation is to check out the domain thoroughly before purchase. You can do this in any number of ways, but the easiest way is to use the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. This handy free tool allows you to enter the domain you are considering and view snapshots of the pages at several different dates. If the domain has changed multiple times you can see this, as well as how long the domain has been in existence.

You should also check that the domain has not been pointed to a parked page, meaning an “under construction” or “buy domain now” type message. These parked pages cause a loss in PR rating, back links, and search engine rankings. These issues can take some time to fix. You can visit the domain to see if it is on a parked page, and if so, use the Wayback Machine to determine how long it has been like that.

In the end, it is simply easier and less stressful to buy a new domain name. However, if you find that perfect domain, check it out thoroughly and make sure you have a plan to dig it out of the gutter. Contacting search engines and other traffic building websites and services to let them know that you recently purchased the domain may help in this, but nothing is guaranteed. Be wary, and enjoy your web experience!

Important Issues to Remember before Buying an Expired Domain name

Copyright (c) 2009 John Khu

Buying expired domains is a tricky topic! You will need to be very careful while buying an expired domain because many of these domains may have some problems associated with their registration. There have been instances when the previous owner decided to approach the legal authorities to reclaim their expired domains. While you need to be very careful in your dealings, you may also need to consider the following issues before buying domains that are expiring.

The issue of domain trademark: Make sure that the domain that you buy does not have any trademark associated with it. You will need to be very careful in dealing with domains that have trademarks against their URL. You could even land in potential legal hassles when you buy such domains. You may wish to conduct a detailed research to check whether the domain expired has any trademark. Use one of the web sites that provide information on trademarks.

The issue of corporate expired domain names: Many domain names have a close relation with corporate businesses. If a company or a business firm owns the domain names, you may even forfeit such domain names. In some instances, companies may simply forget to renew some of their domain names.

Tip: It is almost difficult to find out who is the real owner of a domain name before it expired. However, you can still find out more about a particular expired domain name.

To find out more about expired domains and their previous ownership, use these tools to conduct a detailed research:

a) Go to www.alexa.com that maintains a big database of millions of web sites. You can find out details like link popularity, ownership, traffic, ratings or rankings etc in this exhaustive web site. Just use the following URL to check the previous history of the web domain: http://xslt.alexa.com/data?cli=100&url=DOMAIN.COM. Some times, you may never find any information on some of the domain names.

b) Go to www.google.com to check the cache status of the expired domain names. Google always maintains a cache directory of web sites by using its spider technology. It is possible to visit a cached online copy of a web domain, including expired ones. With this tool, you can find out if the expired domain you want to buy had any trademark associated with it. Type the URL of the expired domain into the Google search engine box and make sure that you are checking the cache copy of the expired web domain.

c) Use link popularity checking tools: You can find out more about previously owned expired domains. Choose any of the link popularity checking web sites and enter the URL of the expired domain to check the links against the name. This gives you a fair estimate of the number of online references related to the domains. Zero values mean that the domain expired did not have any activity while higher values signify that the domain was very active in its previous avatar. However, the downside of this method is that you may find it very difficult to find the quality of these links. Some domains may have just a few links associated with it. However, these links may be very good in that they came from high quality web sites. On the other hand, an expired domain may have lot of links that came from insignificant web domains. Making a comparison just on the number of links may be quite premature and improper.

By using the above mentioned tools, you can find out minute and precise information about your expired domain. However, use these tools with utmost caution and without any prejudice as some of the data extracted could be misleading.

Domain Names – Part 3

Multi-language sites: 
French/English versions of the site can have a French domain name pointing to the French home page and an English domain name pointing to the English home page. This is an advantage when advertising your URL in language specific situations such as a French language newspaper.

Specializing: 
If you have a large product line and you want to attract attention to a particular product, you could get a domain name especially for that product. For example, www.carparts.com would be your main domain name and www.radiatorcap.com could be the domain name that you have pointed to the radiator cap section of your web site. This could be preferable to having to advertise a URL like www.carparts.com/products/engineparts/radiators/caps.html which would be another option.

Merging companies, or historical considerations:
You may want to keep an old domain name for with the sake of your old clients, or to help keep the clients of the company you just purchased. In this case, just pointing the old domain name to the new web site will automatically direct the old clients to your new company.

Key word searches: 
Having key words (words that relate directly to the thing you do or sell) in your domain name will help with the search engine optimization of your web site. If you are Rob Brown the plumber and your business name is RB Services Inc, and your domain is rbservices.com, you could take advantage of this tactic by also registering the domain rbplumbingservices.com. This way, the word “plumbing” is in the domain and will be found by search engines when someone does a search for the word “plumbing.”

Multiple spellings: 
If your preferred domain name has multiple spellings, such as “colour” or “color” for example, you may want to register your domain name with both spellings. With a company name like Back2Front, for instance, some people may type out “backtofront” instead of the correct spelling.. In this case, getting both domains is a good idea. This will make your web site easier to find for anyone who is just going by memory or by a verbal recommendation.

Domain Prefixes:
To get some of the advantages of additional domains without the extra cost of registering separate domain names, you can add prefixes to your domain name. For example: using the www.carparts.com example again, you could add a prefix like this: www.radiatorcap.carparts.com. Depending on the context, this prefix may be referred to as: Sub Domain, Domain Prefix, or Hostname. The domain registry is not involved in the set up of a domain prefix. The only person involved is the person looking after the name service for your domain.In many cases, this will be your hosting service provider. If you are a Back2Front client just ask and we will set it up for you.

Multiple TLDs :
In addition to getting multiple domain names or using domain prefixes, you may also want to consider multiple TLDs (Top Level Domains) of your domain name. For example: www.carparts.com, www.carparts.ca, www.carparts.net, www.carparts.org. The registry is involved in this case. Reasons for this are:

Defending your online identity. 
If you only register one TLD, other companies could register using the same name with a different TLD, and your clients could get confused and do business with them instead. For example: If you registered the domain name ABCaccounting.ca, then someone else (another accountant) registered ABCaccounting.com, you can see how some of your clients may go to ABCaccounting.com and not realise that they are visiting the wrong web site. At Back2Front, since we do business primarily in Canada, we encourage our clients to get both the .com and the .ca names. Some of our clients have gone so far as to register all the TLDs they can get their hands on to prevent other companies from using them.

Sharing a domain name by using a different TLD. 
What if the domain name you want is already taken? If the company that has the “.com” version of the domain name is not a competitor, and therefore the likelihood of confusion is small, you may want to register the “.ca” version of the name or any of the other TLDs that make sense to you. For instance, we have back2front.ca but we do not have back2front.com (they are a stage back drop company in the UK.)

When considering domain names for your web site, it is not necessary to narrow it down to just one name. For the many reasons listed above, having more than one domain can be very useful.

Domain Names and Bulk Domain Registration

Are you sitting around wondering what domain name to register for your business? Having a website is essential for all businesses in this modern day and age. Websites are not just for online businesses. They are for brick and mortar businesses too. Many entrepreneurs are starting to discovery that many print and conventional methods of advertising doesn’t yield good results anymore. That is because people (your customers) are spending more and more time on the Internet. Even senior citizens are learning how to use the Internet to source for products.

With that established firmly as a fact, the next step to take is to get an online presence immediately. As a business owner, you need to put your offers in front of your target prospects, and you need to do so using the Internet. The problem is, many traditional small business owners still don’t know much about the setting up a website. Well, the first thing they need to know is this – registering a domain name.

A domain name for a website is like the brand name for your company. For brick and mortar stores, people have to remember where your store is in order to visit your store. On the Internet, all they need to do is to remember your URL. Therefore, it makes sense to register a domain name that is easy to remember. To come up with a suitable domain name, you need to be creative.

First, brainstorm for a list of possible domain names that you would like to register. Don’t worry about availability at this point. You can always do a check later on. The goal here is to get some good ideas that you can work with. Here are some suggestions. You can choose keywords that your target visitors are likely to use. For instance, if you are selling pillows, you can choose a domain name like “pillowspecialist” as your domain name. Or you can choose something that is short and easy to remember.

Your domain name doesn’t have to consist of words that make sense. Sometimes, words that sound weird are better choices because they are easier to remember (think Google and Yahoo). They are also more likely to be available when you go ahead with the registration.

Once you have a good list of domain names in hand, simply head on to a domain registrar to register for your domain names. You begin by making a search for the domain names on your list. If no one has registered for the domain, you can claim it immediately by registering for it. If a search comes up with negative results, just enter a new domain name to search engine. Some websites offer domain names suggestions as well. Browse through the suggestions to see if you are interested in them.

For better pricing, always register your domain names in bulk. For instance, if you have a few good ideas, don’t just register for one domain name. Register for all the good names. Domain names are like real estate in the virtual world. You need to stake your claim on your assets. If possible, register for all top level domains (i.e. .com, .net, .org, and .info) so that others cannot use the same name as you.

Domain Parking

When browsing online, I really most of the times find some sites on google search that really promises to solve my problems, after clicking on it and discover nothing but ads. What is the purpose of such a site? This is known as parking which can be done for free by some domain companies.


Before development – developing a website may be difficult, or may take time according to your level of understanding of web designing. When you know that it will be quite a few month before you can do anything, but you can’t let the desired URL slip through your fingers. The name may not be available in six months? So you buy the name, park it and then it is online.


These domain company may offer to park it or in most cases put their default page on your domain name, you can then register with a parking company, then submit the domain names and then change the domain name servers to that of the parking company, after which you can then optimize it to make it look more attractive.

Now, here is the interesting part. You can park a domain name and leave it and even make money from it, so you will earn from the adverts that are put on your domain names, also post a sign saying under construction so as to make your visitors come back.


Getting visitors – You can buy related or typo domain names, for example

you can find a good domain name with traffic and buy a domain name by just omitting one letter in the real domain name, this is a very useful tool, I bet you so many visitors will definitely make mistakes and find themselves in your domain names. Remember that you do not need to drive traffic to your domain name, with this tool you will still get good visitors.


So parking domain names can be good if you are buying at a low price and having the intention of selling it higher in the future, this also look like buying a land, developing it and selling it later for a higher price, which is also called real estate. So before selling your domain names you can park them and make money from them for a while before selling them.


This is a goldmine because there are some internet real estate investment companies online which will actual buy your domain names, work on it and still sell it to interested webmasters at insane prices. If you buy a domain name for $5 and sell it to them for $300 after a week, you will agree with me that it is a good investment, imagine you selling 10 of such names monthly.

Expired Domain Opportunities

If you are like most online entrepreneurs, you’ve been struggling to grab your share of that flood of traffic that you hear about from every guru wannabe out there.


Chances are you have probably invested heavily in search engines, banner ads, classified ads or even spent a mint on so-called “safe lists” only to find yourself disappointed again and again.


There is a perfectly legal, extremely effective, traffic generation technique that, until now, has gone relatively unnoticed by the masses.


What if you could recover existing web traffic that is currently being overlooked and basically being flushed down the drain?


What if you could grab one of those prized listings in Yahoo that cost $200 with no guarantee you’ll even be included in the directory?


What if you could get that traffic for a fraction of what other advertising methods charge?


Expired domains might be an option to consider. Every day over 3 million hits of targeted traffic are lost due to abandoned web sites. Why does this happen?


Webmasters may lose interest or they don’t have the money or time to manage the site. Sometimes they just forget to renew. A large portion of these expired domain clicks come from sites that were never developed. BUT, some were once solid sites generating traffic and sales.


Expired domains is all about capturing all the effort, time and money that the previous owner developed and putting it to good use for yourself.


What if a domain name had link popularity, had a coveted dotcom (.com) extension, or was even listed in Yahoo or had Google Page Ranking?


What is Link Popularity? Simply put, Link Popularity is the number of other websites

that link to your site. Doesn’t it stand to reason that if a domain name previously had Link Popularity or was one of those coveted dotcoms or was even listed in Yahoo,

that it might have once been a thriving website?


Not only that, but with a little time and effort, you might even be able to pick up some popular domain names just for speculation or to resell on eBay! Many of the domain names that expire every day could be resold even without Link Popularity or any of the other “carrots” because they just happen to be highly regarded as a tangible asset. Short, descriptive domain names that end in a “.com” or “.net” are examples of this.


The best part is that you can get these names for the price of registering them, often for less than $10!


Even if you didn’t use the domain name to redirect traffic to your own web site, if you find a couple and sell them at auction for $25, $50 or more, that’s a pretty decent return on a very small investment.


A certain amount of caution needs to be taken when using this tool for any purpose. Make certain you do a bit of homework to make sure the previous web site was not an adult site. Sometimes the domain name may not necessarily reflect the former content. There is a tool that can be used to determine the history of the site. Best of all, it’s free! Here is the link: http://web.archive.org


If you are looking for alternative ways to generate traffic to your site, expired domains might be a good investment.

The Right Domain Name Is Essential

In recent years, buying and selling website domain names has become one more way for online entrepreneurs to make money on the Internet. These names are traded on online auction sites that also oversee the buying and selling of second-hand websites. This way of doing things makes domain names exceptionally expensive. Names that contain the much sought after keywords can be traded for thousands of dollars.

It certainly pays to find a good name for your Internet business website. While many experienced Internet marketers will try to combine two or three popular and relevant keywords to make a single domain name, others prefer to rely on the power of branding when they choose a name; that is, they would be more likely to use the name of their company, rather than keywords associated with its particular niche market.

Celebrities, politicians, writers and artists use their own name as their brand name. Perhaps the most famous example of branding in the last couple of years would be the name barackobama.com.

If you wish to start up a small online businss you need to work out what niche market you intend to market in. Then make a long list of possible keywords with the aim of making a keyword rich domain. Use one of the free domain search sites (Google it) to assist you in compiling your list. Then enter your proposed names directly into the search browser to find out if they are available.

Here are two of the main advantages of using highly targeted keywords in your domain name:

1. When people see your domain name they will have a quick understanding of what it is that you are likely to be selling. Your customers should then be able to find you more easily.

2. Your site may get higher rankings with the search engines for the specific keywords you have used.

One more thing when choosing a domain name for a business site – make sure that you get the .com extension. In general terms, domains that end in .com rest more easily on the eye as well as imparting a much more businesslike image. However, if your business is focused on a single country then you might want to use .co.uk, .co.jp etc.

If the domain name you want has been bought by somebody else, you may be able to purchase it from them on one of the auction sites. You see, there are people whose sole purpose when obtaining domain names is to make money by reselling them when they become sought after. However, you can expect that a domain name that is loaded with high ranking keywords will not sell cheaply. Obtaining a high ranking name in an online auction could cost you thousands of dollars.

You should be able to use your own resources to find a meaningful domain name that is not used by anyone else. It will then only cost you a few dollars to register it at one of numerous services available online. I hope that this information will help you when choosing a domain name.

Good luck
