Hello and welcome to the forum! First of all traffic domains are very very tough , if you buy expired domains then you are doing no more than guessing at what traffic the domain will get and for how long, you can spend a lot of money chasing , for example I reged a drop with 70,000+ backlinks and it was a dud , zero traffic , there was a lesson I learned there , where the backlinks were was totaly insugnificant , I think you are better off buying from the owners and having them prove the traffic before you buy, just my opinion.

Buying off drops is great, as long as you have some knowledge.

A name with 70,000 links will only get traffic if the links are high quality, you probably should have done more research to determine that. I reg a name or two everyday (spend $8 each on them) and I have found many that get 10-20 unique visitors everyday.

Over time that really builds up - you just need a few bucks to start out and a little knowledge about link popularity and the overture search suggestion tool.

Always fully research the domain, links into it and their quality.

Try Dropwatch.com. It's the best and most useful domain research utility suite on the Web. Nothing else even comes close.

I guess Domainut was too humble to suggest it

Ok Dropwatch.com does seem to be the best out there as far as my research and referrels go but I haven't tried it yet. So I imagine a lot of people use Dropwatch.com + other tools so are the lists pretty picked through and do you think your odds are better landing a domain by using Dropwatch and such? Then after you find a good few domains try to get them somewhere like pool,enom,etc. ? Thanks again for the help just want to make sure I got this down.

The lists of expiring and expired domains are released to all members at the same time. An email is sent out to each member as soon as the stats are compiled each day.

I just posted an overview of the steps to take when you want an expiring domain, have a look at my Expired Domain Blog for some tips on getting started in the domain biz.
