Best Expired Domain Research Tool


Before we get into what some of the top recommended expired domain research tools are...
Let's first define what an expired domain is and the benefits of using them.
What Are Expired Domains?
So, when the term expired domains is thrown around, it's usually implied that the expired domain not only has age (it's older than at least a couple of years)
But that it also has some authority or quality backlinks pointing to it.
With SEO (search engine optimization), expired domains give us kind of a head start in ranking or at least getting our site crawled and indexed by Google and the other search engines...
Because it already has some rapport built up, so we're not necessarily starting from scratch.

What Are The Main Uses Of Expired Domains?
Most SEOs use expired domains to either...
  1. Build an authority website on...OR
  2. Build a PBN (private blog network) with
For building an authority site or a money-making site, you would just build your new site as normal...
But starting with an expired domain as opposed to a brand new domain that had never before been used gives you a massive advantage upfront
And the benefit of usually skipping the sandbox that Google and some other search engines place your site into initially before they start to crawl and rank it.

The other way to use expired domains is for building your own private blog network.
A private blog network is just a fancy term describing your own network of high authority websites that you use mainly to rank your money websites.
Since these expired domains have age and authority in the eyes of search engines like Google, links from these sites are pretty powerful and can help move your website, video or other property up in the SERPs in a relatively short amount of time.
So, those are the two main ways that most SEOs use expired domains.

What Metrics Should I Look For When Investing In Expired Domains?
Every expired domain site and service out there is slightly different on the kinds of metrics you can filter by...
But here are a handful of metrics I usually go by when selecting expired domains, which can at least give you a foundation for picking domains with decent authority...
Age: 3+ years old
Trust Flow: 10+
Citation Flow: 10+
Extension: .com, .net, .org
And then I always like to cross-reference the domains I'm about to buy by plugging them into a tool like Majestic just to make sure there's no spammy backlinks.

What Tool Is Best For Finding Expired Domains?
I really like FreshDrop
But below are a few alternatives you may also want to check out...

SEO Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

SEO (search engine optimization) is actually pretty simple. It mainly comes down to two things: on page SEO and off page SEO. On page SEO just means  optimizing your content  to rank for certain keywords. The main elements on the page you want to make sure and include your target keywords are your Title and URL. As far as the body itself don't worry so much about using the exact phrases you're going after word for word... It's more important that you concentrate on providing as much value as possible and writing for humans instead of trying to  keyword stuff  and trying to maintain a certain  keyword density . The other half of the SEO equation is off page SEO. This just means backlinks or  links from other high authority or relevant sites  pointing to the piece of content you're trying to rank. Off page SEO is also pretty simple - it mostly comes down to... The authority of sites linking to yours The relevance of the sites linki...

How To Engineer Your Own Paycheck With Affiliate Marketing

Years ago I was suckered into an  Amway  pitch... But I did get one valuable takeaway that I still use today. During their spiel, the couple who was trying to persuade me to join Amway explained it like this... "Don't think of Amway as an expense. Because all you're really doing is simply redirecting a few dollars each month that you're spending anyway on household products and purchasing Amway products instead of some of the products that you buy at the supermarket." So, I like to apply this same approach with affiliate marketing. Most products and services pay you in money. However, some reward you with credit toward their product. So, if I'm subscribing to a service like this, I'll do my best to refer enough people on a regular basis to cancel out my subscription cost. One example is a meal delivery service called  HelloFresh . I have to eat anyway and since HelloFresh has a refer program that rewards me in credits towards my subscri...

How To Promote Clickbank Offers Using Bing Ads

One of the oldest, most popular, and easiest affiliate networks to get started with is  Clickbank . And one of the fastest methods of getting results online is paid traffic. PPC (pay-per-click)  is one of the more popular paid traffic sources, especially for beginners. Pay-per-click basically works like SEO (search engine optimization) but on steroids. So, instead of optimizing content perfectly and waiting for it to rank, you just pay to show up. However, when it comes to promoting affiliate offers, or, more specifically,  direct linking to affiliate offers , huge networks like Google AdWords aren't usually that friendly. But, luckily  Bing Ads  is a lot more open to affiliate marketers and allows you to direct link to your affiliate offers. So, if you're just getting started with: affiliate marketing, promoting Clickbank offers, or Bing Ads in general this is something that works. Now, to give yourself a little more of an edge though over all...
