Buying and selling domains is one the methods to make money over internet. But you may have noticed that every single dictionary word that you can think of has been registered. And also you may have learned that it is very difficult ta earn a good profit from either a lengthy meaningful domain name or a short unmeaningful domain name.

Here comes the role of expired domains. Though most of the “Premium Dictionary Words” have already been registered, it is also true that many of them were registered some one decade ago and they are on the verge of getting expired. Thus you have a chance of registering an “Expired Premium Domain” for normal price.

Lets have a look over the benefits of expired domain names -

♦ As they are Premium Domain names, many other people will be interested in buying them from you at your price, as you will have many optins of buyers.

♦ Secondly as they have been over since quite a few years, search engines will be giving them a high preference in their results, thus increasing its price.

♦ Also as they are old, they are obviously going to have some PageRank….. the older the domain, more will be the PageRank… and the higher the PageRank more will be its value.

♦ If you have been lucky enough to buy an expired domain which had some good traffic, then BINGO!!! you have hit a jackpot. As this traffic will obviously get inherited , if you yourself make a site over it or sell it to anybody else.Either way you are going to make handsome money over it.

Now comes the most important question – “where to find these expired domains?” If you do a google search for “Expired Dmains” or “Deleted Domains”, you will get list of sites providing the list of expiring or expired domain names. But this facility comes for a price. You have to first join their paid membership, then only will they inform you about the expiring/expired domains.

Or if you are not willing to pay any dime for this and have ample time then you can do manual search over “Who.is“. This is not a site related to expired domains, it will just give evry information you want abuot any domain name you search for.

So its upto you what you prefer. But I’ll advice first have some basic knowledge about domain brokerage before going for it. Well WISH YOU A GOOD LUCK WITH EXPIRED DOMAINS.

Now-a-days internet has become a part of daily life and it have opened a lot of portals of earning money by sitting at your home (obviously in front on computer). One of these portals is through monetization of your site.

There are various ways to earn money through your site, but the most commonly employed method is by displaying ads. Here, I am going to write about this method only.

You display ads on your site, either through some advertisement networks like Google Adsense, etc or by contact individually with the potential advertisers.Both options have its merits and demerits, like with Advertising networks, you dont have to worry about getting advertisers, you have to just place one HTML code on your site and related ads are automatically displayed on your site, while with direct advertisers you have to first search for potential advertisers and later convince them to place their ads on your site at some reasonable price, but with direct advertisers you get 100% of what the advertiser pays for their ads which is not the case with Advertising networks, they keep their commission and give you remaining earnings. There are many other merits-demerits but I’ll not like to get into details.

For my sites I use both Advertising networks as well as direct advertisers.

Some important advertising networks I would like to mention are -

♣ Google Adsense -

Its the most commonly used advertising network. It accepts publishers from most of the countries. It displays contextual ads on your site, and you get paid for the clicks your visitor makes. If you have a high content site I’ll recommend this.

♣ Adbrite -

It is also very common these days, publishers banned from Adsense especially those having warez sites are exclusively using this network.My experiment with Adbrite was not good, I earned less than one-fourth of what I earns with Adsense,,,,, well I just used it for 1 month only. So, if you are having warez sites, or you’ve been banned from Adsense I’ll recommend this network. Between Adsense and Adbrite, Adsense is a lot better. Important point to note is that you cannot use both networks ads simultaneously on your site.

♣ CPM networks -

These netwoks pay for the page impressions your site gets. The clicks doesn’t matter in this case. Some important CPM networks are – Casale Media, Tribal Fusion, Burst Media etc. This can be used simultaneously with Adsense.

♣ Text Link Ads networks -

This networks places links of interested sites on your blog and you get paid fixed amount monthly for that link. The best link ads netowrk is Text Link Ads (according to me).Here the breakout of the earnings is 50-50 i.e. you get 50% of what advertiser pays for link on your site.

♣ In Text advertising -

Here the ads do not consume any more space on your site, but these are displayed in the form of underlines on important keyword, and pop-up opens when visitor brings cursor on that word. Here you get paid for clicks that your ads receive. The most leading network in this category is Kontera.

This is all with Advertising networks I’ll write in deatils about them and the direct advertisers in subsequent posts.
