Do ppl here try to find expired/expiring domains with high traffic? this could be traffic from incoming links or if ABC.com is famous, ABC.net will also have very high traffic... I googled around, and it seems there is no such tool/website around? anybody can share some experience/insight on this?
If you look at the Alexa rank of the domain names which are expiring, that will help you determine the traffic the website had IT
You can use this site. But it is paid and I have not enough money to use it.. I am looking for a free tool to do so..http://www.registercompass.com/
You can try www.dnbulls.com You can get daily list of expiring/deleted domains sorted by alexa rank,pagerank,GBL,YBL and more! FYI:Its free to use.. Regards, Sandeep
to my experience high-traffic expired domains almost always = fake alexa rank. Domain owner inflates the domains traffic rank artificially when trying to sell it before giving up and dropping it.
By inflating the traffic artificially, you mean the owner just clicks on his site a bunch of times to show more hits?
that would not work. It requires visits from *different* IPs so it would look natural (for Alexa at least)
you can suspect it is a fake traffic if it does not look like a typo domain, is not indexed in search engines, does not have back links - so where the hell it receives traffic from? If the domain has anything from the above, you can;t really tell unless register and see where traffic is coming from if any
You can use domains tool like eXdomain not to pay for viewing domain metrics like links, indexed pages or page rank and to retrieve this data on-demand for any domains list without cost by your own. I can suggest http://en.exdomain.eu/
Checkout domcop.com/?type=ot DomCop uses SEMRush data. SEMRush checks if the domains shows up in google for any specific keywords. This cannot be faked as the traffic data would show up only if the domain actually ranks for any keywords. Niki
If You want to get long term domain hosting then you will had to get good server. that can be obtain from host-gator.
Are affiliate links really allowed in here? JnnrfVijay was clearly promoting their affiliate link to hostgator, for instance... seems ripe for abuse. More on topic, you can use some tools like rankchecker.com to get some additional stats on sites including the PR. I'll be checking out some of the other tools mentioned here, too...very nice! And yes, someone could buy some cheap traffic for a month or two and inflate the traffic figures before selling. The SEMrush method should be harder to fake, IMO.
