Buying an expired domain with inbuilt traffic could be a risky
proposition. Spending your hard-earned money on an expired domain
without any meaningful incoming traffic could also be a big
wastage of money. Once you decide that you want to invest your
money in buying an expired domain with traffic, you will need to
be very careful in selecting a domain that assuredly contains
incoming traffic. You may face a number of risks and challenges
while selecting and buying a domain expired with supposedly full
of incoming links and traffic.
Most of the sellers who sell their traffic enriched domains by
providing a number of screen shots or an excel sheet containing
the traffic statistics or even a detailed spreadsheet containing
details about the traffic. Some intelligent domain sellers even
provide a link to a parking account for you to check the detail
of the traffic. The main purpose of these actions is to provide
you guarantee that the domains-expired you are going to buy
indeed contains lot of traffic.
However, there are two important issues here that you must pay
your attention before buying that domain name:
- You will ensure that the statistics provided by the seller are
not fictitious.
- You will also need to confirm whether the statistics provided
are sustainable over longer durations
Some domain traders advertise their domains to generate some
amount of traffic. Once they ascertain that traffic is coming to
the domain, they will sell off the domain at a very high price.
Soon after receiving the money from the buyer, they will stop the
domain promotion program to save their money on advertisement.
This may eventually lead to loss of traffic and a situation where
the domain may even start losing its earlier traffic.
These domains are actually useless as the incoming traffic is
just momentary and non-organic.
Never ever, fall in to this kind of trap! Never buy those expired
domains that their original owner manipulated just for the sake
of getting an inflated price. The traffic that comes with these
kinds of domains is never sustainable and you will be paying for
the traffic hype surrounding the domain. Here are some basic
rules of buying traffic rich expired domain names:
- When the domain seller has integrity then the statistics
provided by him or her will also be right.
- Never ever, feel that the deal is very good. Do not jump into
the conclusion that you will be losing your money if you do not
buy that domain. You may be burning your fingers in the process.
- Trust your intuition and instinct. If you have doubts about
their numbers, ask the seller for all possible details. Confirm
that they are not promoting the domains just for the sale of
selling them.
You may never be sure of what you are buying in the guise of an
expired domain with lot of incoming traffic. When you are
careful, you can easily buy a very good domain that actually
contains real type of traffic.
