    thanks for the reply.

    Has anyone ever used this site? It seems pretty exepensive to me. almost 50$/month. They claim to send weekly emails with expiring domains with high link popularity. Is there any other good way to find cheap expiring domains?

    thanks for the help :D

    There are several ways to make money with expired domains

    1. create your own web site because the domain name makes
    sense for your business.
    2. use the traffic generated by the old site owner to sell google ads
    3. Put other ads on the site to generate pay per click revenue.
    Some of the companies that guarantee 100,000 visitors do this. It is a bad way to advertise because these sites adjust
    their keywords to match yours and therefore are directly
    competing with your site in the SEOs
    4. And this one I hate, you can get e-mails addressed to the
    old owners and sell their addresses to dirty rotten spammers.
    One of my e-mail addresses is based in China and I never
    use it except
    to communicate with trusted businesses in China.
    One of my friends let his domain expire and before I realized what
    was happening the new owner set me up for a ton of spam.

    best regards

    By the way, I don't think subscribing to this service will be
    useful. Expired domains are snapped up immediately by
    the pros because of the above reasons.
