Grow your traffic buying cheap deleted domains with high Ahrefs, Majestic & Moz metrics
Find expired domains at DomCop
What are deleted domains?
A deleted domain name is one that its owner has not renewed, which will be shortly dropped from the registry.
When a domain owner does not renew the domain, he has 30 days to renew it before it enters a pending delete state. Once it enters the pending delete, the owner can no longer renew the domain, and it is set to drop within 7 days (depending on the domain extension & TLD [top level domain]).
After 7 days the domain expires and is available for domain registration by anyone after it drops. Here are where drop-catching softwares come into action and try to catch the domain for their customers.
These are aged spam free deleted domains with great back links. Perfect for your PBNs.
What happens when a domain is deleted?
30 days after the renewal expiration date, when a domain is deleted, it drops from the registry into the pool where anyone can purchase the domain. This is now an expired domain name.
Drop catching software keep track of the time of deletion and, at that time, will try and purchase the domain for their clients. Larger companies like NameJet, and DropCatch have a better opportunity to catch these domains as they have multiple connections to the domain registrars.
Since a lot of deleted domains are very valuable, there is intense competition among domainers and SEOs for catching the domains, and often the best domains end up in domain auctions like GoDaddy auctions, DynaDot auctions & NameJet auctions.
How long after a domain is deleted can I buy it?
You can purchase a domain as soon as it drops.
There is confusing terminology in the domain space which makes this difficult to explain. Every domain owner has 30 days redemption grace period to renew a domain after he has passed the renewal data.
Once the 30 days passes, the domain enters a zombie like state called "Pending Delete". This typically lasts for 5 days and during this state no one can purchase the domain, not even the original owner.
After this state is complete the domain then drops and is considered to be deleted. It is at this time when you can purchase the delete domain.
What is the difference between a deleted and an expired domain?
Technically an expired domain is one that is in currently the pending delete state. This state lasts for 5 days generally, and during this state no one can purchase the domain, not even the original domain owner. Once 5 days are completed, the domain is then considered to be deleted.
That said, many people online confuse the two terms and consider them the same. Due to this many times these terms are used interchangeably. Goole too seems to show the similar results for both these terms, so we cannot blame people for being confused.
How do deleted domains make money?
Deleted domains are valuable for either their name or their inbound link profile (those with high quality backlinks). These desired domains are puchased by Domainers, SEOs, Affiliate Marketers and Entrepreneurs.
Domaining: If the name is a short common word, then domainers will buy domains to re-sell to large companies. This is called domain flipping. They may also set up a few basic web pages and sell this as a started site.
SEO: If the backlink profile is valuable, then SEOs will acquire it for off-page search engine optimization, to improve their search engine rankings in the Google search results.
SEOs may use this as their money-site, or to create a PBN (private blog network), or just 301 redirect the backlinks to their own or client's existing websites to make them rank well on Google & other search engines. SEOs care about spammy backlinks and so rely on important Moz & Majestic link metrics - for e.g. Moz Domain Authority, Majestic Trust Flow & Open Page Rank.
Affiliates: Affiliates look for expired domain names with high traffic and set up a new website to point the domain to their existing website and make money with affiliate links. Affiliates may also use the Wayback Machine to get the old main website back up on a new web hosting and simply add affiliate links to existing content. They could also modify anchor texts and use the link juice to get additional traffic from Google (like SEOs do).
Business: Many entrepreneurs prefer an aged domain to a brand new domain, and so may purchase expired domains for their new projects. This is useful if along with domain age, the old site was of a similar business. Some pick up recently dropped domains that are still available in the Google Index and monetize using Google Adsense.
