Why Expired Domains Are So Powerful
Expired domains can be more powerful than a new domain, wrt search engine optimization (SEO), because of their pre-established authority and trust with search engines. When a domain expires, it will keep most of it’s valuable backlinks from reputable websites, which are crucial for SEO success. Owning these domains allows you to use its existing backlink profile, providing an immediate boost to your site’s credibility and potentially improving its ability to rank higher in the search engine rankings.
The age of an expired domain, and it’s history, can contribute to its perceived trustworthiness. Google prefers domains with backlinks and history. By using an aged expired domain, you can leverage this inherent trust to enhance your SEO efforts, making it easier to achieve higher rankings compared to starting with a brand-new domain.

What You Can Do With Expired Domains
There are lots of uses for expired and aged domains, whether purchased through an auction or directly registered. With an expired domain, you can do the same as any other domain / website. It is essentially the same from a functional point of view.
You are free to do with it as you would any other domain, but, because of their inherent ability to rank better (providing it is a clean expired domain), they can sometimes be flipped quickly. If you have found the domain by crawling, it won’t have cost a great deal to acquire and as such a profit could be easily made by flipping it on a marketplace. If you don’t want to invest the time and money into SEOing a website, flipping could be a great option.
Flipping isn’t the only option, however, you could build a website and utilise the domain’s power to rank more quickly than you would with a fresh domain. With a ranking website you could sell guest posts, links or simply run an online business through it.
In conclusion, acquiring niche-related expired domains can significantly enhance your online presence by leveraging existing authority and relevance within your target market.
