Why all expired .Com domains taken ?

    Hi,
    Every day I go over the expired domains list and found that all the .Com and .Net domains are taken even the most crappiest ones, for example:
    Why should anyone register aikidoyoshokailivonia.com (it expired and registered today - 15 march) ?!

    Thanks in advanced,
    Tom

    Things like that stiffle the growth of commerce and the internets development.

    The reason why all these domains get taken is because there are dozens of large companies out there that scoop up the domains as soon as they are available and they take them for 5 days trial. If any of the batch they scoop up gets any traffic then they will just place those domains on adsense scrapper sites .

    just recheck after 5 days and may be you will get that name

    also do not open that site name too much as it leads some traffic to those tasters ;)

    Big companies with lots of money can register these by the thousands for a few days and see if they make any money, if they dont they will usually become available again :p
