Are Expired Domains The ULTIMATE Ranking Shortcut?

There's been a lot of buzz about expired domains lately. Some even see them as the ultimate SEO shortcut, allowing you to skip the Google sandbox and rank within days rather than months.

But what exactly are they and how can you get your hands on one? Is it really as simple and easy as that? How do you know you're getting your money's worth?

Watch as Gael answers all these questions and more!

What do you think guys? Will you consider buying a dropped domain after watching this? 🤔

[LinoWalker]

I really like these shorter-form videos, as well as the increase in production values :D

[thomassorheimdanielsen]

Just bought my first expired domain last week. Fingers crossed for an easy ranking experience.

Do you find there is a time period you have to set up these pages on the expired domain to redirect before Google discredits them?

[raviiirathore]

Hi, please reply

I am thinking to buy an expired Domain. That Domain contains some keyword that were ranking and getting a good traffic too.

Can i recreate that pages once again too with same permalink ? Will it rank quickly ?

Hey would you please reply.
What's the difference between expired and deleted domain.
And why buying a deleted domain makes its dns registry of the day we repurchase.

So if it shows a new date than what's the meaning of reputation as it is less than 30 days.

Is there any tool other than ahrefs to check the expired domain background?

[minimalistmike]

Great video! Around the 3 min mark you talked about Bomisch and said it started to rank "quite quickly". Does that mean days, weeks, months?

We have lot of examples in Tarantula SEO when even irrelevant link profile from expired domain can influence boost of rankings. PBN based link building nowadays can be a are risky tactic but if you change this and that a little bit you can get great results. You don't have to focus on building a BLOG - it can be a small project that looks like a regular local business or institution website (as it was built before domain expired). I would also avoid building a NETWORK. If all pages are connected to eachother it may cause a domino effect when Google will realize, that some of them are violating guidelines and are set up just to emit some links. I would also suggest avoiding WordPress because in most cases you will have to use redirects and loose some link juice. That's what we did in Tarantula SEO - we are getting back all the URL's that had any good backlinks and build topically relevant content that is coherent to certain page's topic in the past. Building links on microsites set up on well selected expired domains (without filter, tested, with good connection to seed pages that are frequently crawled) is a great shortcut that can benefit your link building and may help you outrank competition which utilizes only natural links, womm, outreach, guest blogging etc.

Hi Gaël, is there a limit as to how many links you can / should point to your site from an expired domain site ? 5:59

[dennysoinski]

Exceptional video. Question. What does WMC stand for in your "closing thoughts on expired domains"?

[jamesscott]

Thanks for sharing Mr Gael. I’m just waiting to see what the Google Expired Domain Update does in March 2022 😉

[nateLegakis]

Is there a way to filter domains that have 1 or more pages indexed in google

[Finanzwecker]

What if the site has good links but isn't indexed anymore. Is it still good for redirects?

[maxikozie]

Hi Gael, so do you recommend also keeping an eye on dropped domains? Or is anything that doesn't get sold through the auction almost certainly worthless?

[liamlayton]

This is great info. I do have one question. If you buy an expired domain, how do you recover all the content on it? Also would it be a case of essentially copying the original content and doing a redirect to my site? Would you also recommend indexing my page I just created with the search console? Thank you

[MoneyOnlineSimple]

Thanks for the great info, as always. :)

[RowanAdler]

Great job Gael! Will stick with shotgun skyscraper for the moment, but definitely an interesting option. Cheers, Rowan
