The most recent Google update's impact on expired domains has not fully played out yet.
There are still a lot of sites that, by some miracle, survived the onslaught, but it's anybody's guess how long they will continue.
If you're looking to use the same, old tricks using expired domains, keep in mind that the clock is ticking.
If you still insist on using expired domains, at least put in the time, effort, and resources to use them properly.
In other words, fully resurrect the site.
Stick to the same niche.
Invest in whatever you need to post quality content.
Invest in providing the same experience that that dead website used to provide before.
Otherwise, you're simply just rolling the dice and the clock is ticking.
