I purchased severl expired domains from sedo

But the traffic still havn't recover
Should I wait for more time to recover the traffic?

What's more important is restoring the link structure of the site. You don't want links that Google and other sites already know about to be throwing error 404.
If you have many links doing this, the site would never rank.
 
Some expired domains lose valuable backlinks over time, which can impact rankings.
 
#1 the domain(s) could not be clean, this could be tied up with a penalty, so it will never perform as well (if at all),
#2 what worked for the domain(s)/website(s) before doesn't necessarily work now, it's not the same algo, especially if the link profile is sort of spammy,
#3 the domain lost some of the links that were doing the work, so it won't rank as well as it used to,
#4 the domain/website is sandboxed, it could happen for domains that have been inactive for longer periods (1-2 years+)
 
As stated above, if the domain expired and inactive for a long time, Imo it just same as a fresh domain, so the domain could be back into sandboxed

if you want to try this way, you should get the domains from the auctions that have not drop yet

Better to aim for domains that have been active for the last 1-2 years,
Many domains will be non-dropped, yet inactive
 
If traffic is not recover then you need check your content, and index rate when you check on google by : site:domain.com.
Even with new domain with zero backlink, you still get few traffic after 4-5 days.
Other problem :
+ bad domain with bad history (check in archive.org)
+ bad domain with bad spammy link.
 
Check if the domain has been penalized. If it hasn't, you can wait a little longer to see if things improve.

Yes you should wait and continue to build them. The traffic will eventually recover.

I think traffic will not recover automatically with just restoration of content, if you have paid tools and old search console/analytics data then you should check the pages that were driving traffic to the website and focus on those with doing some on-page and get backlinks as well to to restore traffic on those pages.
 
Have you built any links since owning them? If you want a domain to bounce back quickly you need to show the search engines that the content is back and that it is active and relevant. Re-upping the content, alone, is not enough you need to treat it like any other website.

Get some backlinks and mentions.
 
Actually at 2024 get wank with expire domain is waste of time. If you try with fresh domain I think you get some result though. Anyway if you pass like few months 1/2 then you need to wait atleast 6 months and imporve some Technical SEO part.
