Before I get to the meat of this post, let me tell you now that you will NOT be able to actually grab microsoft.com’s traffic for yourself. I used that title as an example of what this post is about, which is using expired domains to drive traffic to your site. Besides, Billy G. would never let microsoft.com expire.
There are a ton of articles out there that profess the benefits of purchasing expired domain in order to utilize the traffic remaining on those domains. In How To Snatch An Expiring Domain, Mike Davidson tells all about his first experience with an expired domain. He indicated that he purchased the domain for $18.95 and in two and a half months, made $369. Another article, posted by Mike Santiago on MakeMoneyOnTheInternet.com, talks a lot about not only the existing traffic, but about building the domain up so it can eventually be sold for a higher price. Although a lot of the articles out there talk about making money on the site through parking, you can also 301 redirect that traffic to your site, as long as the subject is related.
Grabbing this traffic is like picking up the money someone has left on the table. I am doing this (just started so I have not made any money yet). Give it a try.
