Making Money With Expired Domain Names - Read How Tim Hatfield Is Already Experiancing Success Within 30 Days!
Expired domain names offer domainers (any type of marketer online for that matter) a great opportunity when it comes to making money online. While most in the domaining biz tend to park domains I have slowly started to build a mini empire of revenue producing sites using the methods taught in my course Revenue Domains Exposed (huge box to the right).
It is really fairly simple at the core:
Aged Domains + Inbound Links = Traffic
The first part of the formula is finding the right type of aged domains with the right type of links, think commercial markets and *trust*.
The second part of my formula is how you build your sites, where you get the content and what measures you take to protect your rankings online, things such as affiliate links can really jeopardies rankings.
These are the types of items that are discussed in the course - and bottom line is that it works.
==================
But you have already heard that from me!

I wanted to share with you an email I received several days ago From Tim Hatfield. Within 30 days Tim has already put my information to work and is now leveraging these types of domains, driving traffic and most important … making money.

Hi Brian,
Great to hear from you! I am doing well following the system taught in you course. I now have 3 sites up and running and have started to generate Adsense revenue from each one. I am now very comfortable with the technical aspects of getting a Wordpress Revenue site up and running along with finding good expired domains to build on.
The importance of doing detailed keyword research has been a major focus of mine prior to purchasing the expired domains. It sets the blueprints for how I am going to monetize each site and gives me a
good idea of how high I will go with my bid. I am setting a goal to get 2 sites up and going per week with developing at least 5 unique articles and 10 in links for each site. I am excited to see where my
business will be 6 months from now.
Thanks again for explaining the path to take in building profitable niche sites. I will keep you updated with my progress as time goes by.
Sincerely,
Tim Hatfield
After reading Tim’s mail I wondered just how much he had spent on these domains so I replied back and asked.

Tim’s Reply
Good question Brian! I have about 8 expired domains that I have now purchased between $15 - $85. As far as getting good domains names for under $100, I find it just takes patience. I also have a large
inventory of domain names I purchased before I received your course that I plan to develop using your Wordpress methods. In addition to Adsense, I plan on adding ebay and Amazon creative on the sites. A BANS site I created several months ago on a domain name I made up is now starting to generate ebay income for me.
This is basically everything I learned from your course.
Thanks again!
Tim Hatfield

Hi,
I am very interesting with domain parking but I don’t how to drive a good traffic to the domains.

I need your help because i still newbie in this bussiness…
Please answer to my email

Hello Satriani,
Here is the bottom line on this subject, it is one that so many domainers question it simply does not make sense.
Actively trying to “drive traffic” to a parked domain breaks the terms of service of most of the top level domain parking companies. Just months ago Parked.com made it very clear that domainer were no longer able to “send traffic” via ppc to their parked pages.
It is also against the terms of services with most of these companies to promote parked domain names.
If you want to drive traffic, promote and ultimately increase the revenue of a domain name why would you park the domain?
1) Search engines do not like parked domains, they contain little in the way of content and thus they never rank well for long.
So not only is promoting a parked domain against the terms of service it is also not that smart as search engines are not likely to rank these domains well anyway.
Domains really need to think about developing their better domain names.
Brian
Good Day All,
In my experience it seems that the traffic from expired domains falls off to almost nothing after 3 months or so, if you just park them. I’m not saying that it doesn’t make sense to purchase them, park them and then make your initial investment back (plus a bit more in most cases.). But I do agree that if you develop a domain with existing traffic and the content you provide after purchasing it is consistent with the content from the previous site it should build to a steady stream of traffic. We have a portfolio of approx. 2000+ and growing. As with any portfolio of that size, some are not as consistent with pulling in type in traffic as others. Some seem to be “seasonal” because of the category/topic. Parking is obviously the easy way out, but NOT the most profitable at all. Also, we park with almost every parking company that exists today.. As we would never want to have out eggs all in one basket..
My advice would be to pick the domain names in your portfolio with the highest amount of traffic and develop it. Then monitor it daily and update it’s content daily. Keep it fresh and keep it easy to navigate, no one wants to waste time searching for information after they have decided to visit. If you want ‘repeat’ traffic and surfers to place your site in their ‘favorite places’, that’s a good way to start..
All the Best,
Brad Christopher
