Here is a really simple way you can use expired domain names to secure a good domain name for your business or start to earn money from buying and then selling expired domain names.

As you very well know a domain (or host) name is how the internet identifies a computer or group of computers. It is part of the uniform resource locator (URL) and many times mistaken as the web address. This is the identifiable part of the web address. For instance google.com is the domain name for the Google search engine.

A business pays to register a domain name, and uses it for their website. The registration only lasts a certain amount of time. If the domain name isn’t registered again, the domain name expires, and anyone can pay to re-register it. So in short, when Google’s domain name expires, someone else can pay to register it. That person then puts the domain name on another website. So when a user types www.google.com, now they are re-routed to a website of the new owner’s choosing.

Expired domains can be found through several websites that search domains that are about to or have expired. This websites makes it easy for anyone to search, find and register the thousands of expired domain names that become available every day.

Generally speaking, the more well known the domain name is, the more profitable it can be. There are several ways to make money with expired domain names that you purchase. Here are a few of them:

Auction Sites - Just like anything else, you can sell domain names on auction websites. Depending on the popularity of the old website or the versatility on the domain name, you can sell the name for quite a bit.

Domain Name Websites - Domain name websites are sites that are specifically for selling domain names. For a small fee, these websites will let you post the domain name you would like to sell. If it sells, they get a percentage of the sale.

Building Mini-Websites - If you buy an older expired domain names that have a lot of keywords in them, the search engines are more likely to hit on such domain names. You can buy these expired domain names and build miniature websites. With the increased search engine ranking, more users will be sent to this website. You can then use this website to sell products and services, or you can sell the domain name along with the miniature website for added value.

Redirecting Users to Your Existing Sites - You can purchase expired domain names that are rich in keywords, and have those users that click on it, redirected to a website that you already own. That way when someone types in keywords, not only your website pops up in the search engine ranking, but so does the two or three other domain names.

Now the user has multiple links in front of them that all lead to your website, and traffic to your website increases. This is particularly profitable when you are able to purchase expired domain names that belongs to an existing website that already has a lot of traffic. A good portion of that traffic will now be directed to your website.

Market Affiliate Sites - As above, you can purchase expired domain names and have them redirect people to a different website, but this does not have to be your own website. You can make an agreement with another company, that when your domain name ranks in the search engine, once a user clicks on it, that user will be directed to you affiliate’s website.

Speculative Trends - You can also buy expired domain names in hopes that they will increase in value. This is done by purchasing domain names that contain keywords associated with growing trends. Expired domain names can be purchased based on technological trends, anticipation of upcoming events, and any other speculation on keywords that are might become popular searches.

Additionally you want to keep in mind that it only costs $14 to register each expired domain names that you buy. Many people will buy a few, and try to sell them for thousands of dollars. Unless the domain name is something really well known and sought after, this isn’t practical.

Most people have better luck by buy many expired domain names and selling them for a few hundred. This way there is still a substantial mark-up, but they sell much faster. If the higher your turn-over, the faster you stand to make money, and you can purchase your next batch of domain names just that much sooner.

As you can see there are many ways that you can make money with expired domain names, but the key point is that like any other business, decision or choice one has to make, you have to be practical and carry out a good research and only buy those expired domain names that will return a profit.
