This is the exact steps I use to find bunch of expired domains on daily basis.

But before I show you;

What are Expired Domains?

Expired domains are the domains that were registered, due for renewal but the owners due to one reason or the other was unable to renew them, it lasts for longer months and since there was no one to renew it, got expired and ready for re-registration.

The amazing part;

These domains may have had a good backlink profile as well as domain authority that has an ability to rank well on search engines like google, bing, yandex etc.

What about you get them? What would be their importance? you may be asking:

Normally, when you want to start a blog, you need two things to start

A domain (The name people would use to find your business
A Webhosting (Where you host your images, blog posts, contents at a whole etc)

Choosing a suitable domain for your business or personal blog is one thing; another thing is growing that domain to one that makes you income (money).

When you register a domain newly, there are many things you’d need to make it appear on search engines such as SEO: I.E. Backlinks, etc.. which would definitely take you some years or months.

Professional bloggers don’t buy new domains for their Authority or Microniche blogs. Micro Niche blogs are those blogs that focuses mainly on one topic E.G: A blog about Ipads, Coupons.

I would be going deeply into what Microniche blogs in the upcoming posts. But for now let me stick to the main purpose of this post.

Importance of Expired Domains

Link Juice

What is Link Juice?

A link juice simply refers to a high authority domain linking to a domain which definitely gives the domain more power and ability to rank well on search engines.

When you register a domain that has lots of link juice then be sure to rank well with it because you would not need to get much backlinks compared to a newly registered domain.

High Authority (Domain Age)

Want to Start that Authority Blog? or Micro-niche blog? you don’t have to buy a brand new domain as you would have to work hard to get it rank on first Page!

How about you get an expired domain that has a good Backlink profile or targeted traffic, has a good Domain Authority (The ability to rank is high) etc.

Guess;

At the same rate of about $12-$14 Yes, you don’t have to pay huge.

“When I choose to build a new authority site or niche site, I never do it on a brand new domain.

The problem with new domains is that you have to invest in building up their authority from an SEO perspective which costs significant time & money to do.

Instead I prefer to register an expired domain that already has authority to build the site on.

That gives me a huge head start and quite often building out a content rich site on a powerful expired domain is enough to crack the first page rankings without any additional work.

You just wouldn’t have that advantage with a brand new domain!

And the best bit?

Registering an expired domains costs exactly the same as registering a brand new virgin domain” – Matthewwoodward

Keep reading! You are going to learn all this soon!

Its very simple following my methods.

The First Step: Getting Broken Links using Ahrefs.com

To find the expired domains, you will need to get the broken links your choice Authority Website is linking.

Login to Ahrefs.com/site-explorer
Pluck the Authority Website’s Domain into the search box and click search
When it displays the website stats, navigate to broken links; these should be under outgoing links (Down left) not under backlink profile. Below screenshot should direct you on which of the broken links

Remember you should only go for the dofollow broken links. Now you need to click on the link type and select dofollow.

4. Click Export and select the necessary export type. Use the below screenshot

Now you will need Microsoft Excel to open and get your broken links. Open your download with Microsoft Excel and click on the Broken Links URLs Tab. Highlight All of that role and Ctrl + C to copy all.

As seen below;

You need to filter the urls from the domain itself? This is because you won’t be able to bulk check the domain names except you filter the urls from the domain.That is why you will need websiteseochecker to do the job within few seconds (Its free) Remember I said “without spending a dime at the beginning”

Copy the broken links and go to websiteseochecker.com/extract-url-to-domain

Paste them into the first box and follow the below screenshot

Now wait for few seconds for it to filter the domain from urls. When its finished scroll down a little to the result, highlight all the domains, copy it and proceed to the final step below.

Go to Name.com

Click on Domains >>Bulk Domain Search as seen below and paste all the domains copied earlier from websiteseochecker. Click search and also click on Show all 43 TLds.

Now watch name.com search the domains and give you ones that are available for registration for as low as $12-14 and ones that are taken in the below screenshot.

Below screenshot shows those that are taken and not expired or not available for registration.

Below is a screenshot of one that is put up for sale. Its premium and not expired. You shouldn’t go for it.

Below is a screenshot of an expired domain out of those broken links. This is $12 and definitely what you need. Simply copy it to your excel spreadsheet.

As seen above you’ve gotten one expired domain you can definitely register at namecheap.com etc.

As you scroll down for more you’d get as many expired domains as possible. I get more than 50 expired domains at times on my search.

Now copy all of the expired domains one by one into your excel spreadsheet and save.

Repeat the same steps highlighted in this article to get as many expired domains as possible.

There’s more to this;

How to Check the Expired Domain Health

Check its DA and PA

To check the domain Authority before registration, go to websiteseochecker.com/domain-authority-checker/ and pluck the domain into the box. You’d see its DA and PA.

You may be asking “prosper, so when i buy an expired domain are you aware of anything i should be careful about? any way to check their history?”

What to Do before Registering Expired Domain

This is very important:

Before buying an expired domain, you should check these things.

If you wish to monetize it with Google Adsense then make sure You check if it’s already banned or not using this site: https://ctrlq.org/sandbox/
Check what was on the domain before it expired. You could use www.archive.org for this, just pluck in the url and you’d be displayed with how the site looked like.

Make sure it wasn’t a spammy PBN [Private Blog Network] or something similar

Check the Spam Score of the domain.
You can also check to see If it’s disabled for indexing by Google though you can always file a reconsideration request via webmasters console.
