How to Find Dying Domains

I made 21K last time I applied this to one of my websites. For huge profits, you need to apply this, plus some additional techniques: Additional steps here.

I made this video specifically to be given to outsourcers. You can go on getafreelancer and get this task done for cheap. Or, you can do it yourself. Feel free to send the outsourcer directly to this page.

VERY IMPORTANT: For huge profits, you need to apply this, plus some additional techniques: Additional steps here.

Do This Everyday:

1. Do a snapnames search (see video)
2. Do namejet search (see video)
3. Copy all domains into excel
4. Search 100 at a time in seochat for PR value. (with www and without www)
5. Any that are PR2 or up, do a search in google for site:domain.com see if any pages are still indexed.
6. If any pages are still indexed, go to the indexed pages and find an email address and phone number (whois won’t work because the name is expired, most likely)
7. If no pages are indexed in google, go back to your excel spreadsheet and look for the “drop date” or “auction date” If it is over 20 days from todays date, go to archive.org and look for old copies of the site to find an email address and phone number.
7. Email them the text at the bottom of this page. (http://mail2.chicagowebs.com with chadk and green567, blind carbon copy chadkimball@gmail.com)
8. Send me the website address, the pagerank, the phone number and email address in your daily report

IMPORTANT NOTE: ALSO DO SEARCHES AT THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES (NOT IN VIDEO)

GoDaddy’s Aftermarket

Sedo’s Buy Websites Category

Namepros - look under Marketplace :: Domains For Sale

Here is the email to send out at the end of the process, if the website meets all the requirements:

Hi <insert name>, (if there is no name, just put “Hi”) I’m from Chicago, Illinois, and I noticed that <insert URL> had expired. It is a great site, I’d hate to see it die!

I would love to take over the domain name when it expires, but the registration company won’t let me register it because it hasn’t been released to the public yet.

However, they said if we completed a domain transfer I could register it under my name ASAP…

Would you be interested in doing this? I promise to give this domain a good home!! I’d keep all your current content on there as well so people would be able to access all that information.

Let me know
Chad

  7. Hi Chad,

    So once we own the domain, we host it via our own hosting account, and keep the original websites content as is? Then we just publish links to our site(s) we are promoting, on the new domain we purchased, rite?

    Thanks for the info, always great!

  10. hey bro,
    I love your style, but a lot of your stuff is old and needs to be updated.

    do you do this stuff today in 2009?

  11. Hi Chad, I would also recommend namecheaps marketplace, discoered some gold there to:

    I always enjoy your content, but this video is a bit dated, snapnames looks quite different today. Still good content here. Do you have an affiliate system in place, would be interested to promote you.

  12. I agree with the previous people - this is very old - while the content is good the sites have changed and I’m curious if some of the techniques have too.

    Karen Davison

  13. yes.. we’ve been doing this for a long time.

    godaddy tdnam after market is another great place

    These days.. we just grow our own.. currently at 3500..
    and people don’t understand how the leverage effect really multiplies..

  15. Chad -
    Liked the info . . . .was very immersed in the content as you were about to enter the phone # into Google and the video stopped @ 9:05

    Does it go longer?

    Many question left unanswered

    Very much liked the content

    I am a student of You-Tube-Cash Secrets

    Also my question is:

    Can there be a “tie in” with your YouTube Cash Secrets marketing approach with the acquiring of expired site / domains?

    My brain is telling me there is . . .not sure how to piece it together -What to you think?

    Please don’t laugh . . .it may be obvious to you . . .still learning the ropes on this end

    Needing a “A-HA” moment

    VERY- interested in your feed back about the “tie end” -Hope to hear back

    Your a great teacher thank you for the very good info

    I agree with Bonnie from above ⇡⇡⇡

  16. This video is excellent and presented info I never knew before. Please continue to make these.

  17. a couple comments wondered if I still do this.. yes I’m entering a couple of new niches this week, and doing this exact technique to get it ramped up quick.

    I didn’t update the videos because the techniques are still exactly the same, even though the websites in the vids have updated their interface

  18. @Skye Gunner the one way you can integrate the youtubecash techniques and the dying domains technique is to get these domains, and then point them to the youtube videos you are promoting. with these powerful links you will find your youtube vids moving even faster up the rankings

  19. Chad,

    Your videos are always so helpful. Not only did you teach me something about how to acquire domains but you taught me something I didn’t know about Excel. Now if all your videos had transcriptions to them that I could print out I’d be in 7th heaven!

  20. I have been watching and learning from all the video’s you have mailed out.

    I have learned, and put into practice your techniques. I also have purchase your course.

    Just want to thank you for all the information you continue to share. I now have a sense of success for the future.
