I see that many people in the forum are still discussing expired domain names.

[xpg5555]

I want to know if expired domain names will still be as strong after Google updates them in March.

If the expired domain name can still be used, how to choose the expired domain name?

What should you do when building a website using an expired domain name? For example, the frequency of article publishing, etc.

 

[tazarbm]

the frequency of article publishing should be low (1-10 articles a week I think it's safe). Many sites that are new and post 100s of blog posts a day get tanked, this is a new filter by google to punish automation (google only likes automation when they do it, if anyone else is doing it we are crooks and criminals lol)

Regarding your other concerns @Nargil might be better addressing them as he deals with expired domains every day, I would probably misguide you if I said anything about the topic

 

[orlondo_123]

My understanding: Expired Domains will be ineffective if used outside the sector.
For example, turning the expired health domain into a crypto site.

This has been the case to some extent for years now. It's really nothing new. Most people freaking out now are Asians using them for casino niches where it didn't matter at all what kind of domain you used. Funny enough, almost none of my Asian clients were hit.

I don't think this matters at all to be honest.

If you take the domain, recreate it, let it rest for months and then slowly build on top of that domain, there's zero reason to be directly hit. You can always be a part of some colateral damage, as it's the case with every core update, but I doubt you will ever get a manual penalty for that.

"No asian clients of mine got hit"....said the expired domains seller.

I have a ton, and direct them to third party advertisers for 100% complete passive income.

So unless the traffic dies off (which many times this happens)... then they will continue to be relevant.

Hello, xpg5555. Expired domain names can continue to be used if there is no negative history or blacklist record. When choosing an expired domain name, you need to check its historical content and backlinks to avoid spam sites and bad links. When using expired domain names to build a website, you should focus on high-quality content and a reasonable update frequency, avoid over-optimization (such as keyword stacking), maintain a consistent content theme, and ensure a good user experience (such as website speed and mobile adaptation). In general, if the expired domain name has no negative impact, it can still effectively support the construction of a new site. The key lies in content quality and SEO compliance.

Still work just fine. Niche relevancy is over-exagereted. You do need there to be some correlation, but exact match niche isn't a necessity; at least in our experience. They make up a significant part of our overall strategies.

 

[jimbobo2779]

I'm also of the thinking that the doom and gloom spouted about the demise of usability of expired domains is likely, yet again, overblown. We've been hearing about the end of the dominance of expired domains for years and yet here we are still fighting over them.

There are more domain sellers today than a few years ago for a reason, they work and nothing really suggest they won't work tomorrow.

I'd personally never, ever, ever use a brand new domain for a project. Makes zero sense unless you're absolutely skint. And if that's the case for anyone, save until you can buy a half decent expired/caught.

Yeah it is crazy

 

[sashilover]

Expire domains won't fit for you if you are not in a high revenue niche like gambling/porn, etc.
Because the price of them are increasely raplid, and many of SEO can't afford them.

They fit practically any eCommerce site and perform very, very well.

Expired domains can be valuable if they have authority and clean backlinks. Choose domains without spam history, relevant to your niche, and with quality backlinks. To optimize them, publish consistent content and maintain the original theme for better SEO.

 

[JohnCN]

Yes, but only if:

- The domain has a clean backlink profile, so no spammy links.

- It’s relevant to your niche.

- You use it for legitimate content, not just to exploit its authority.

Now how to choose an expired domain:

- Check backlinks: Ahrefs or Rush Analytics.

- Avoid penalties: Google Search Console (if available) or tools like Wayback Machine to check the domain’s history.

- Relevance: Pick a domain that aligns with your niche!

What to do after acquiring the domain:

- Quality content: 5-10 relevant articles

- Regular updates: Post consistently (e.g., 1-2 articles per week) to keep the site active

- Rebuild links: Reach out to sites that linked to the domain before and ask them to update their links

Agree with your post by and large. But don't do this. Rebuild the pages wherever possible with the same link & anchor that exists.
Reaching out to them should be an absolute last resort; as you risk them just removing the link.

Only reach out if the recreation outlined above will not make sense to the reader/niche.

I think that was in relation to backlinks that previously pointed to that site but had removed it when the site went down.

But it's got to be in the same niche, right?

 

[blogmen]

how to choose the expired domain name?

Metrics are bs. Find domains with few but powerful links.
