How to get an expired domain name that has traffic

    Hi, I'm looking to buy a domain name that's either going to expire or being sold that has traffic within a specific niche. I see a lot of domains that will expire but can't tell if it has any traffic...

    Anyone know where I can go to find this?

    try: freshdrop.net or justdropped.com

    or if you know the domain, just use alexa,compete and other services to check the vitals.

    Thanks! I just tried freshdrop and I like it! :D

    Do you know what "fake" means?

    There's a field on Freshdrop in the domain list that says "Fake". What does that mean?

    It means the PageRank for that domain is fake.

    correct, which it does by checking that the page on info:domain.tld resolves to the actual domain name.

    its the simplest and most reliable way of checking this as well for everyone out there.

    It's also something to be painfully aware of when buying Domains in the B/S/T forum here at DP. A lot of people are selling domains with fake PR for a quick sale.
