Today is a good day to share and learn about expired domains SEO.

Quiet as kept, there is a growing aftermarket of domain names, specifically the expired domain market.

From Sedo to GoDaddy to Park.io to NameJet to SnapNames to name a few, many business owners, domainers, developers and more are sniping expired domains right and left (even right now as you read this very article!).

And I’m not talking the bottom of the barrel expire domains either. I’m talking about highly-valued expired domain names that they are buying for pennies on the dollar of the expired domain’s overall value in some cases.

But why would anyone buy expired domains?

Well, I’m glad you asked! I’ll share with you some of my most popular expired domains SEO content in today’s round up.

And although finding and buying expired domains is much like attempting to find a needle in a haystack, when you find that one needle or diamond in the rough, the SEO value you’ll attain in search rankings, traffic and new customers will make your work and effort all worth it time and time again.

So let’s get started, and I’ll share with you proven tactics and techniques of how to use and not use expired domains as a part of your overall SEO strategy.

If I were to take a poll throughout the world, my guess would be that most small businesses advertise via the following sources:

• YellowPages.com
• Local Newspaper
• Local Magazine
• Community Newsletter
• Radio
• News
• Facebook, Twitter, Linked and Google

There are probably many more, but those are just the common ones and in no specific order.

But there is one advertising source that I’m seeing small businesses pass on, and it’s a great and affordable pay-per-click advertising opportunity: YouTube ads.

In comparison to the traditional advertising opportunities briefly mentioned, excluding Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google, YouTube costs are merely a fraction of the cost of those listed sources, and is a pay-per-click cost model unlike the others.

So why should your small business not pass on YouTube ads?

If you said no with researching from A to Z, then I suggest you research the YouTube Ad numbers and feasibility before blindly saying no, and here’s why…

How is your website’s backlink profile looking these days? Are you steadily garnering new links from a multitude of high-quality websites?

If you can’t answer those questions honestly, or you answered honestly with only a handful links not worth writing home about, then today’s post is strictly for you.

And don’t worry, I’ll go light on you although I probably shouldn’t.

Nevertheless, I’m providing you with the link building strategy round up that will do the following:

1. Inspire those of you that are not currently link building to get started if you have not a clue where to begin sound and search-safe link building
2. Give those of you a good swift kick in the pants if you’ve approach or manage ongoing link building in a lazy manner
3. Correct those of you who have gone towards the dark and wayward path of eating at the “all-you-can-link-buy” buffet

I encourage you to read, study, and re-read each link building post in this round up series.

If you have questions, then please don’t hesitate one bit to drop a comment at the end of this post.

It’ll be my pleasure to help answer any questions or concerns you may have as it pertains to sound and search-safe link building.

As you know or may not know, Kickstart Commerce offers affordable domain leasing for our growing portfolio of domain names.

Typically, when I receive inquiries about some of my most popular domain names and met with stick shock from uneducated domain buyers, I always offer a payment plan to buy the domain, or a leasing payment to use the domain for a set period of time should I not want to sell.

I’m not always successful with the latter option as most domain buyers who are not able to afford my portfolio of premium .com domains tend to move and settle for a lesser priced domain.

But much like physical real estate, I’ll continue to hold my oceanfront property for the right buyer to come along and see the value in paying my asking price.

Nevertheless, today’s post will help those of you looking to purchase by way of leasing that one game-changing domain name that will morph your business into an online powerhouse brand.
