One of my favorite pass time activity is hunting expired domains with awesome backlinks. And if the backlinks are from authority sites like Forbes, NYTimes, CNN, Lifehack etc. there’s always a chance to make good money from them.
What can you do with expired Domains?
There are few ways to use expired domains:
- 301 redirect to your money site to transfer the link juice.
- You can build your money site on the domain.
- You can build a site in your private blog network.
- You can sell the domain for a good price.
But, making a worthy PBN which actually boost up the rankings of the sites is not easy. Most people do it wrong and still make over $500 per day. If it is done right, then there’s no stopping you. You just have to rank 1 site to prove your worth and the buyers will flock in.
Without further ado
Let’s Start :
I will share how I scrape expired domain names for FREE.
There are some tools you need, Namely :
- AHREFS Free 14 day Subscription
- https://urltodomain.com/
- https://www.godaddy.com/domains/bulk-domain-search.aspx
- http://www.mozcheck.com
- http://www.trustflowchecker.com
Step By Step Instructions to scrape golden Domains :
YES, I refer these domains as gold nuggets. Let's scrape some gold !!!
Step 1: Login to AHREFS and select Site Explorer.
You have to make an account on ahrefs and provide them with some necessary details to use the account. Once that is done, we will simply log in and select Site Explorer.
Step 2: Enter a website from which you need your backlink: nytimes.com/forbes.com/huffingtonpost.com etc.
You just have to put in the website, You will see the stats and various options on the left.
Step 3: Find outgoing links section and select broken links:
On the left section, you will find Outgoing Links, just select the broken links. That’s it.
Step 4: Export the ******** broken links to CSV.
You have to scrape only the ******** links for maximum link juice from Huffington and you have to export only the ******** links. You will find an export button on top right. Use that.

SELECT ********
Step 5: open the above file in excel and copy the URLs of the broken links (Column G)
We will simply open the excel file and copy all the broken links.
NOTE: I am only scraping first 1000 broken links. May not find a domain name. But this strategy works and its free!
Step 6: Go to https://urltodomain.com/ to convert the URLs into root domains.
Paste the URLs from excel into the input box, deselect the “Include Subdomains” option and make sure remove duplicates is selected. You should use the below setting and get the domains.
Now you will get a list of Domain names, Now you have to check the availability of these domain names.
Step 6: Go to the Godaddy bulk domain checker and paste the URLs (500 at a time).
Alternatively, https://www.namebright.com/BulkSearch (5000 domains per search) does the job but does not support as many TLDs.
LIST OF ALL THE AVAILABLE DOMAINS
Now you have a list of Domains which has a ******** backlink from HuffingtonPost. Now you have to make sure that it is okay to use it as a money site domain, PBN etc.
For that, we will spend a little more time to check the spam, if there’s any. I follow some simple steps, for which you will need :
- http://mozcheck.com/
- http://www.trustflowchecker.com/
- Ahrefs
- Wayback Machine
Step 1: Go to http://mozcheck.com/ (200/search) and paste the available Domain Names.
You will get the Domain Authority(DA) and Page Authority(PA) for these Domains.
Step 2: Go to http://www.trustflowchecker.com to check their TF & CF.
Visit the above URL and Paste the domains which met your minimum DA/PA criteria (10 at a time and Select the worthy ones.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TRUST FLOW YET
Step 3: Go back to AHREFS to check the backlink profile of the domains you selected.
Its time to check whether the backlinks to this site are clean or not; also check the anchor text of the domains you choose, should not be spam. Check these backlinks one by one if you have to, they should not come from an adult site or any other spam sites which Google hates.
After this step, the domains you select have to go through a final test.
Step 4: Go to Wayback Machine/ Screenshots to check the history of the domain.
This is important and you should do this to check how this domain was being used, sometimes if its a blog, you can scrape the data and use it for, You will get free content for your pbn or whatever.
Well, that is it! You now have a list of domains, which you can use for anything you wish for.
I have over 200 of these domains with backlinks from authority sites. It is the best free time utilization in my opinion.
