Many individuals are now actually getting expired areas on the basis of the number of backlinks or the rating of an expired site, and then find that these have mysteriously disappeared per month or therefore later. Can it be the search engines have black listed the domain, or would you have done some thing at the start to avoid this from happening?

There are lots of checks after you've acquired your expired domain you should do before getting an expiring domain, to prevent losing all of the price.

One of-the main reasons that an expiring domain can look attractive is the amount of backlinks, but a word of caution - often search-engines can handle one domain precisely the same as another - same standing, same backlinks, same everything. This can happen as a website centered on a domain name can have some other domains pointing to this same website. For instance, domain.com could be the primary domain title, but domain.net may also be going at the same site. According to how a domains have now been setup, some search engines will handle domain.net the exact same as domain.com.

One way of obtaining the number of backlinks to a domain is by doing a search on a search engine using the word 'link' followed by a colon and then the URL of the domain, eg link:http://www.domain.com

Using our example, if you were to check domain.net and found it'd a large number of backlinks and soon-to end, then you could be tempted to get the second to the domain name it ended. To get another interpretation, you can check out: webaddress . You would then go about establishing a website on your new site expecting the visitors to be flowing in once purchased. At this time, domain.net not points to domain.com and so any affiliation to domain.com stops. The various search engines will no further treat domain.net the same as domain.com, but will now treat it on its own merits. This usually results on zero backlinks and no rating. You'll have lost all the benefits you hoped to get from the domain name and need to start selling your web site from scratch.

After you've done your link search on a search engine, to avoid this from happening you must then visit many of the sites that are listed as connecting to your site and check the links are actually there. To compare additional information, people might desire to check out: linklicious case study . You'll find that in a surprising high number of cases the links you expect you'll find are simply just absent from these websites. Then I'd suggest overlooking this domain name and finding yet another, if this may be the case along with your selected domain.

I've performed many experiments o-n expired areas. If the backlinks were real and existed before the domain expiring, then generally the domain could maintain its original ranking. All ratings were lost In the event the backlinks were artificial then in just a few weeks of obtaining the domain.

There are several services on the internet that may provide data on expiring areas, and many of these include checking to-see if search engine ranking positions are real or fake..
