I have been asked by a friend to look out for a domain name regarding painting and fine/modern art. Some of these domain names can be off the wall (for obvious reasons...) Is there a utility which will tell me something about the backlinks coming to an expired site? Example nothingtodowithpainting.com may be out there but I would have no way of finding it using conventional tools thanks
have you checked this site http://www.prtag.com/expired-domains-with-pagerank.php? they offer pretty huge list of expired domains with PR and links which already checked and its almost 80%-90% of the after marked domains listings...
http://dopedomains.com/show/Yahoobl will show you sites currently at auction, and expired not yet dropped (starting at $5 BIN) sorted by the # of yahoo backlinks. -Jason
I have a domain that might be right for you with with backlinks and steady traffic, have sent pm with the details.
I used to use Premium Drops when it was free but now they started charging a membership fee. Still very good information if you want to buy dropped domains. It costs $24.95 a month which may be a bit steep unless you're thinking about buying a lot of dropped domains.
