:xmas-smiley-010:Every day I analyze expired domains on valid PR, DA, PA, BL. And I have been doing it every day for a while now. Since then I have accumulated quite a lot of domains and most I havent even figured out how to use them. I just counted it: I have 47 domains I have not yet made a plan how to utilize them and I just bought 2 new domains. My minimum threshold is always DA20+ & PA30+

I really like SEO and 301 and 302 shit :costumed-smiley-015

In daily life I also run the family company (which is partially also in real estate) and this week we are closing a big 1+ million euro buy.

But I cant get enough of SEO (which in the past made shitloads of easy cash). Now I know how to play the SEO game and rank in semi-competitive niches but my methods just take so much of my free time that I dont have free time or much sleep anymore. Maybe my methods are a bit flawed cuz the initial setup takes too much time...

But still I want to do the SEO game :jester:


Do you guys also have this problem?

Don't worry. You are safe at this point. When you start buying dozens domain a day, this is a time to see a doctor.

:updown:

Protip 1: Build some "under construction" on all of them with some analytics, Piwik is just perfect for it. In a short time you will see which ones of them have a residue traffic. If you are lucky, you'll be surprised by some of them.

Protip 2: Just park them. You'll also see who has traffic.

Thanks, thats a good idea: parking them or analyzing traffic!

Funny enough a few months ago I bought a domain that had just PR1 and DA/PA of 10, BUT I really liked the domain name as it was an relationship counselors' website (you know the one that should help mend broken relationships) and I redirected on my dating affiliate site (evil me :angryfire:) and guess wot? I get 3-10 visitors direct visitors from that domain a day. And since that site has lost all rankings in google, I know this site makes about 10 euros per month, not a lot but still nice to have extra.

Today while driving my car, I had an idea how to use my anarchist rebellion site (this one also has its own wikipedia page) and you know wot? I am going to piss them off! It is going to be reused as a Loans affiliate site: I will call the site (in title): "the rebellion against evil loan sites + as subtitle: we demand cheap loans and will fight for it!" :jester::jester::jester::jester:

Fuck anarchists: I will make you guys look stupid!
 
Join the addiction club! When you look at it, you are thinking: "WOW! They used to be a non-profit organization with some nice mentions in government/academic research papers + I AM JUST PAYING REGISTRATION PRICE FOR IT - NO AUCTION BS!!!" So, in your mind: it is screaming "F-ING CHEAP! I am gonna get this puppy"

Today I have bought 10 new domains, with many governmental and newspaper links and some have mentions in government/academic research papers

Domain age: between 10-20 years
PR: I have no fucking clue as I didnt look at this
DA: 20-40
PA: 30+
 
From today till next week I am going to promise myself to not analyze any domains anymore till I found at least half of the domains a good plan and have used them.

I am going back to doing more SEO than domain buying. Let's make some more money!
 
47 domains is nothing.

YOU ARE AMAZING! I am truly astonished of your domains in inventory :rainfro:

For me, now I have found a way to scrape about 100+ DA20+/PA30+ domains but somehow my method may be a bit flawed as a few of my steps are totally manual labour. I am not gonna buy these domains as I believe nobody will ever find out about my domain research method (which I discovered after reading some pre-google information dating back to 1998 or at least the guy posting his theories published it in 1998)

But in comparison to you, I am just a small fly. I am impressed :eek:! Bravo :bowdown:
 
yeah.. I gave up buying them last year when I broke the 400 mark.. this year I let a load of old cheap ones drop that were impulse buys, and have been spending time actually developing the better ones I had big dreams for.. edit.. oh and I cancelled my dropday and register compass subs so I couldn't be tempted back in haha
 
I too having been buying up expired domains recently. But I actually don't have a clue what's the best use of these domains.

I see many possible ways.
1) Restoring the original content from web.archive.org as much as possible and mimicking the original site, with a few new links to your properties here and there.
2) Creating a small new site with some articles and a handful of text links to your properties. Quite easy and not so time consuming, but will it fool Google?
3) 302'ing it to your property. Easy, but is it effective?
4) Building a new property. Very time consuming.

What d'ya mean? I have a bunch of these fuckers expiring in the next couple months... If this is what you mean, send me PM.
 
Ima small shrimp in a big sea. Clockin' in at about 89 domains.

Its a fun random passive income though. Sold 3 domains I never used for $3500 earlier this year. Had been sitting on those domains for about 4 years with nothing on them.
 
I have aquired 47 domains PR2 - PR5
Just setting my own network up
The hardest tasks to do is to set up the hosting accounts and then to get them transfered from which ever registrar has them to my godaddy account
 
Need some help here:

Okay, I have bought a domain that expired a while ago and has DA40 and used to be some software geek blog where other software geeks posted their stuff on their blogs. The problem now arises is that most incoming links to the site goes to the loads of subdomains of the site. How do I best utilize the link juice going to the subdomains (given the fact I am too lazy too recreate all the old subdomains)? Do you know a good WP plugin that does this job?
