I am sure that if you have been online for some time now you must have heard about expired domain names. Basically, these are ones that have already been registered by other individuals and companies. These have expired and are free to be registered by other individuals.
You may be wondering why people would not renew a domain name. Typically this would be because the website that they were running was not making enough money to be profitable or the owner has lost interest.
You may be wanting to ask the important question if the domain has been expired how on earth would you make money from it? Usually if you find one that already has a good page rank you will find that it still has a lot of links pointing to it. This means it still is getting a lot of search engine traffic and the regular traffic which is repeat visitors. This allows you to tap into this traffic with a 301 direct. If you are familiar with Unix and Apache you will know that when somebody types in the expired domain they will automatically be redirected to your website generating targeted visitors.
Another way that you could take advantage of this is that if the website is still operational you can negotiate to buy it from the owner. If you have any business sense you will know what has been wrong and fix it so that the website generates a profit. This will save you from the effort of having to start your own site from scratch.
Finally, I am sure that you must have seen a lot of expired domain names with search boxes. The way that people make money from these is that they include code from some of the PPC search engines so if somebody does a search and clicks on a sponsored link they will get paid.
