Expired traffic works by exploiting one of the biggest flaws on the Net: traffic loss. Basically, what happens is that millions of hits are wasted on a daily basis, because many site owners do not renew their domain names, for several reasons... Either they lose interest, don't have the time or resources to run their sites, or they simply forget their domain is expiring. And the business opportunity lies with the fact that a reasonable percentage of those expired domains were once active and thriving websites, with plenty of traffic. Expired traffic is all about making good on someone else's hard work, time, money and traffic, which has been abandoned for some reason. The Expired Traffic Equation: Expired Domain + Link Popularity = Expired Traffic Well, and what is an expired domain name? It's simply a domain where the previous owner fails to pay the yearly renewal registration fee. In turn, they forfeit their domain, and it is then returned to the pool of unregistered and available domains. And what is link popularity? It's just the number of other sites that link to yours. For example, if you go to Google and type there "link:profits.cc", you'll determine the number of sites (known to Google) that link to this one. Now, if an expired domain has an associated link popularity value of some sort, that means that there is a very high likelihood that the domain was previously developed into a thriving site. The business idea we are suggesting here is to isolate and register these expired domains with high link popularity values, because they would still be receiving daily streams of targeted traffic from the search engines and link traffic that is associated with such domain name. The reason why expired traffic exists is because when a previously fully developed site is abandoned by its owner, the links to it on other sites and the search engines do not disappear for many months. Websites, search engines and directories can't find the time and effort to manually check if each of the links on their site to other webpages are active or not. And that is the simple flaw in the Internet system you can exploit for your advantage. If you can locate these sites, the ones which were previously developed, but are now expired and available for anyone to register, you get somebody else's hard work... their search engine submittals... and all of the sites that they are linked to... and most importantly, their traffic... all for less than $15 (domain registration). What can you do with expired traffic? Well, if you're starting a website, it can take weeks just to get listed on search engines. And approaching other sites for link exchanges is very time consuming. With expired traffic, you can locate once developed sites that already have the search engine listings in place and that already have a network of links built up for you before you even touch your website! All you have to do is 'turn the domain on' and you've got instant targeted traffic and search engine placement, if you select an expired domain within the same theme of your site. Alternatively, if you already have your own website, you could redirect traffic from competing or similar expired domains which were active in the past. Or you could also use a pay-per-click affiliate program (such as the one of Find What) and monetize the existing inbound traffic, thus making significant returns on your investment of $15 only. This is the same method being used by Ultsearch.com - the ultimate underground traffic king. The owner of this site is making a fortune... and all he does is find expired domains with existing traffic and put this site up on each of them. So how do you find these expiring traffic domains? If you were to do it yourself, you would need access to "domain drops"- times and dates of registrars that make expired domains available. Luckily there is a service to help you do that. If you're not the 'do-it-yourself' type, you can get in this service that will send you expired traffic domains weekly by email with popularity link counts.
