About Expired Domain Names

There is a significant increase in the number of people buying expired domains. But what are the advantages of buying a domain that was originally owned by someone else?

Buying an expired domain helps to bypass the dreaded "Google Sandbox" effect, where brand new domains are often treated with suspicion, and struggle to perform well for a number of months.

Old domains have often secured a number of strategic links which provide a ready-made stream of target traffic to the site. Some sites will have an inherent level of "trust" from the Search Engines - which is one of the methods Google uses to determine a page’s relevance or importance. The combination of link popularity and trust can significantly aid the site in ranking well.

You can often pick up a hidden gem and end up making many thousands of pounds for a very little outlay.

So what are the pitfalls?

The main problem with buying an expired domain, especially if you wish to achieve top listings in the search engines, is finding out whether it has been banned of penalised in the past. Often people do not realise the domain they have just bought had been used to abuse the search engines in the past, and as a result has been penalised or worse still, banned!

We help solve this problem by offering domains with proven listings, back links and most importantly that trust value. We also offer a service where, for a small fee, we will source an expired domain, retain it's link popularity and even help increase it (ask for details).
