They used to bring traffic like magic, now they just haunt our portfolios.

Did Google's "content-first" spell curse them forever, or can these old names still rise from the dead?

I picked up a few Halloween keyword domains a while back, thinking they'd spike traffic seasonally. They do pull in some decent clicks in October, but drop off fast. What helped me figure out which ones were worth renewing was seeing how they performed year-round in an all-in-one SEO platform - it gave me traffic, backlink, and ranking data in one spot, which saved a ton of time.
