Dropped Domains - What Are They?

I hear people talk about dropped domains.

What Are they?
How can you tell?
why are they bad?

cheers

 

What Are they?
The Domain Which Not Renewd or Forgot to Renew by the owner

How can you tell?
Check Whois, and check Registar Changes, etc and Archive.org

why are they bad?
In my Humble Opinion they are not bad, they have expired traffic

 

They can be bad if they've previously been banned from Google search results or Adsense do to TOS violations. Obviously the fact that they were dropped is an indication that someone didn't think it was worth the registration fee (or just didn't care enough), but I've bought a couple and developed them without any problems yet.

 

ya, banned domains not worth to register

 

depends on the domain its self in my own opinion some are good and some are complete bricks.

 

I've found a few gems in terms of dropped domains, but I haven't really seen many worthwhile ones.IMHO, if you think you can develop one, then the status of it being dropped is irrelevant (unless it's blacklisted)
