Yes, it still works. Even in competitive niches. Thematic proximity has become more important. Otherwise, you may see a sharp rise in rankings followed by an equally sharp decline.

Yes, They still work if the expired domain has clean history and strong backlinks.

Basically what other have mentioned already.

However it's quite important to "warm up" the sites before doing redirect, as in rebuilding and keeping them online for a few months.

Rawdogging it directly after registration or let alone at the registrar level will not do much.

Yeah, they still work if the domain has clean history and solid backlinks. The key is picking quality ones and redirecting smartly.

I’ve tried them, expired domains only work if they fit your niche and weren’t spammy before.

Thanks for sharing this, I've always wondered if it was worth it to go through the hassle of building a site on the expired domain and link from it to your money site, or just redirect it without building a site.
I guess of I go through through the hassle of building a site, there is no point of redirecting it a few months later. Just keep it as is it should be better to rank the money site.
Building a site > 301 redirect

Yes, I’ve had some success, but it heavily depends on the quality of the expired domain—its backlinks, niche relevance, and history. Low-quality or unrelated domains rarely give lasting results in competitive niches.

Yes, many people have had success redirecting expired domains in competitive markets. You should check the domain history and make sure it has not been associated with spam or penalties.

 

[LondonLife]

Yes, expired domain redirects can still work, but only if the domain hasn’t been dropped and retains some authority.

 

[Skaylet]

still works fine

Yeah but only but only the "clean" ones with some good backlinks, otherwise it can hurt your website.
