Domaining for Profit- Find Expired Domain Names Easily

Every day, thousands of excellent, developed domains expire or are left by their owners and become available for purchase.

Just as I wrote my last article, I discovered an awesome tool for finding expired domain names. I’ll still be giving you some other tools that i use to find great domain names that were once registered. Some of these were complete websites, with good rankings, tons of backlinks and maybe some page rank.

There are many reasons that people let their developed domain names expire. These can include simply forgetting to renew them (very common), losing interest in the subject, an accident, etc. The reasons really don ‘t matter very much for you and I. What matters is finding those names that have commercial potential or can maybe be flipped to someone else who wants to develop them.

There’s also a couple of other options you can use to monetize them. This doesn’t require much development, just forwarding them and parking them. Domain parking is done when you just want to try to monetize your domains by putting them on a page with relevant ads that people may click on when visiting your page. These are normally Adsense ads. You can learn more about Adsense from Google‘s official website – https://www.google.com/adsense/.

This is another topic completely, but entire businesses are built using only Adsense sites. And some people actually make an incredible living from them.

Anyway, back to the program. The tool that just came out is called Domain Samurai, and it is a fantastic tool for finding new or expired domain names. It’s completely free to download and seems to be full of features. Just go to http://www.domainsamurai.com/. You can download a free and full featured software interface to help you find some great domain names.

Before this came out, I used to use another site to find some good domains. If you just go to http://www.whois.net/. Look for the last search box, named “Search through deleted domains”, type in your domain seed word, and presto, you have a huge list of expired domains.

Keep in mind that some of these may already be registered. I’m not sure how long they leave the deleted names in the database before removing the re-registered ones. But, just make a list of those names you want to register and head over to Godaddy. Under Domains, look for Bulk Domain Name Registration, input your list, and set your parameters. Then just register the ones you want.

So, I hope that helps you find some awesome names. If you’re looking for some keyword rich names, these are great tools to help you find them easier. You may want to read the previous posts for some tips on how to find good keyword domains. Just go here first and then check out the next article here.

Hope that helps. Now, go find those excellent and profitable domain names.

  20. I have recently spoke with my financial adviser about purchasing domain names and building websites. He said since I have some extra capital to use this could be a very exciting and lucrative venture.How are websites and domain names such a good investment?Is i am going in right way?

    (I suggest you head over to Sedo.com or even Ebay. Check the auction section and see what some domains and websites are selling for. You will see that this is a great investment and you can easily make great profits buying and selling these. Do your research to see how to buy properly. Good luck. Patrick)

  41. I guess I forgot to update my email on my dns account so I didn’t get the notice that my domain was expiring. I called the company and they said that I either have to wait a month to re-get the domain,thanks.

  42. Superb read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little homework on that. And he in fact bought me lunch because I found it for him…. smile.. So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch! But yeah Cheers for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and enjoy learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.

  43. Great article. There is a lot of good information here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Redhat with the latest beta of Firefox, and the look and feel of your blog is kind of bizarre for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation is not good.

  44. Thanks for taking the time to share this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.

  49. I’d love to see a follow up on this.

  50. I really enjoy what you blog about here, very insightful and smart. One issue though, I’m running Firefox on Ubuntu and some of your site structure are a little broken. I know it’s not a popular setup, but it’s still something to keep an eye on. Just giving you a heads up.

  51. Just wanted to say you have a great site and thanks for posting!

  52. I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.

  53. I really enjoyed this post. I can tell you put in a great deal of effort and time into this post. I will be back to read more as you post more!

  54. My friend referred me to your blog, so I thought I’d come have a read. Very interesting material, will be back for more!

  55. I guess it’s not the domain name itself.I’m concerned about. it’s my account with yahoo. i signed up about a year ago, and have paid for a year’s worth, but haven’t received any notice about what i should do to keep it going.

  56. Hey man, was just browsing through the internet looking for some information and came across your blog. I am impressed by the information that you have on this blog. It shows how well you understand this subject. Bookmarked this page, will come back for more. You, my friend, ROCK!!!

  57. Hi. I wanted to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I’ve been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of good information as well as enjoyed the way you’ve structured your site. I am attempting to run my own blog but I think its too general and I want to focus more on smaller topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be.

  58. Thanks, there are some really useful resources there.

    I think a lot of people forget how useful expired domains are (providing you can check that they’ve not been banned from Google). A lot of them already have backlinks, and some still have people visiting the site. If you can grab them before they get deindexed, you can exploit them, either flipping them, or using them to build up your own online marketing presence.

  59. Domain Samurai looks interesting; I’ll have to give it a try. I use a combination of several free online tools for snagging quality expired domain names. I think “outside of the box” and use tools that aren’t normally associated with domaining. Some are very effective.

  60. I want a domain that expired June 16th of this year. Before contacting the former owner (who could capitalize on the fact that someone wants something he controls) I want to know how long until I could just register the domain directly. thanks for shearing..
