Buying an expired domain with inbuilt traffic could be a risky proposition. Spending your hard-earned money on an expired domain without any meaningful incoming traffic could also be a big wastage of money. Once you decide that you want to invest your money in buying an expired domain with traffic, you will need to be very careful in selecting a domain that assuredly contains incoming traffic. You may face a number of risks and challenges while selecting and buying a domain expired with supposedly full of incoming links and traffic.

Most of the sellers who sell their traffic enriched domains by providing a number of screen shots or an excel sheet containing the traffic statistics or even a detailed spreadsheet containing details about the traffic. Some intelligent domain sellers even provide a link to a parking account for you to check the detail of the traffic. The main purpose of these actions is to provide you guarantee that the domains-expired you are going to buy indeed contains lot of traffic.

However, there are two important issues here that you must pay your attention before buying that domain name:

a) You will ensure that the statistics provided by the seller are not fictitious.

b) You will also need to confirm whether the statistics provided are sustainable over longer durations.

Some domain traders advertise their domains to generate some amount of traffic. Once they ascertain that traffic is coming to the domain, they will sell off the domain at a very high price. Soon after receiving the money from the buyer, they will stop the domain promotion program to save their money on advertisement. This may eventually lead to loss of traffic and a situation where the domain may even start losing its earlier traffic.

These domains are actually useless as the incoming traffic is just momentary and non-organic.

Never ever, fall in to this kind of trap! Never buy those expired domains that their original owner manipulated just for the sake of getting an inflated price. The traffic that comes with these kinds of domains is never sustainable and you will be paying for the traffic hype surrounding the domain. Here are some basic rules of buying traffic rich expired domain names:


i) When the domain seller has integrity then the statistics provided by him or her will also be right.

ii) Never ever, feel that the deal is very good. Do not jump into the conclusion that you will be losing your money if you do not buy that domain. You may be burning your fingers in the process.

iii) Trust your intuition and instinct. If you have doubts about their numbers, ask the seller for all possible details. Confirm that they are not promoting the domains just for the sale of selling them.

You may never be sure of what you are buying in the guise of an expired domain with lot of incoming traffic. When you are careful, you can easily buy a very good domain that actually contains real type of traffic.

When Website design first started no real attention was paid to search engine optimization. Website designers knew html or an html design program such as Front Page or Dreamweaver. A good designer also had an eye for layout, colors, etc. Search Engine Optimization was little known and less understood. Since far fewer websites had been designed and put on the Internet you still had a chance to be found even if you paid little heed to search engine marketing.

This is no longer true. The number of websites available on the web and the amount of competition they provide is mind boggling. This is true for most subjects and areas of business.

For instance just for fun last night I typed into MSN’s BING, Google and Yahoo the name of my old boarding school, Institut Auf Dem Rosenberg. Even though the name is in German and I typed it into English language version of these three search engines my search pulled up 99,700 results in MSN, 35,500 results in Google and 276,000 results in Yahoo. Strange, but true. You can imagine how many results show up if you type in something like paving stones, get a new mortgage, or diet secrets. In case you’re curious about it paving stones calls up 665,000 in Google. Get a new mortgage produces 477,000,000 results in Yahoo and type diet secrets into Bing.com and you will get 13,600,000 results. Now that’s competition!

If you’re providing a service or product in a smaller geographic area your chances of being found in a users search increase remarkably. Not only is the competition naturally less but the chances are good that other businesses or professional services such as yours have not yet realized the incredible power of Internet advertising.

Succeeding with search engine optimization and getting high rankings in the natural listings for your local business is not difficult. The on-site optimization just needs to be an out-growth of natural design. This is easiest to do if it’s incorporated into the structure and content of the site from its inception. This is SEO Website Design.

Here are some things to consider for ensuring your site is search engine friendly from the very beginning:

Make sure every page of your site has the proper meta tags.

All internal links must be somewhere on the first page in regular html. It’s fine if you want to create some very cool buttons for your site in Flash or JavaScript. But the search engines all have difficulty reading and following those links. The easiest solution to this is to repeat the links in at the bottom of each page. You can do this in a way that will not detract from your design yet will give the search engines a way to follow your links to the other pages of your site.

Make your design clear to visitors. Lead each person browsing your site where you want them to go. If you want them to see all the services you have to offer make that the focus of your home page. If you want your visitor to go to a product page and buy something make the link to that page your focus.

Keep you site, new, interesting and fresh. You want people (and search engine spiders) to return to your site over and over again. Give them a reason to do so. A website should never be left to stagnate.

Create two site maps. One is a list of all the pages of your site much like a table of contents in a book. The other is a sitemap done in a special format that can be read by the search engines. This sitemap will increase the chances that each page of your site is indexed and ranked.

Once your site is published with correct meta tags and lots of content start looking for external links. Get other websites to link to yours. The more quality links the better.

Repeat. Keep going over your site, adding content, checking links, adding to your site maps and looking for external links. Over time your site will rise in the ranks and customers and clients will be finding you in the natural listings.

If you already have a website you can still use the above steps as a guide to making your website search engine friendly and getting listed in the natural search results of Google, Yahoo and Bing.
