In this short guide, I will show you exactly how I’m able to register expired domains with pages indexed in Google, links showing up in Google, and aged domains (going back as far as 1999).
If using a mass automation site building tool, this is perhaps the quickest way to get traffic.
First, you will need an account over at Register Compass… this is critical.
Once you’ve signed up over at Register Compass, just visit the main page and login.
Enter your username, password, and then click Login.
Once logged in, click Advanced Search.
You will receive a message like the one above, just click OK.
There are only 2 filters that need to be set.
Set Google Links to 1.
Set Google Indexed to 1.
Once the filters have been set, click on Start Domain Search.
Within seconds, you will be presented with a way to get your results. I always choose .csv as I want to manipulate the data in Excel as shown below.
Click download once you’ve click on the .csv option.
Double click the link to open the file once it’s been downloaded.
Wow, SO MUCH DATA!
In the following screenshots, I will show you how to filter this down.
Delete rows R through AE.
Delete rows L through O.
Delete rows I and J.
Delete rows B through E.
Delete the new Row C.
What you are left with is the critical data.
Domain
Google Page Rank
Year Registered
Google Links (how many links are still showing in Google).
Indexed All (how many pages are indexed across all engines).
Google Indexed (how many pages are still indexed in Google).
How to determine if a domain has page rank and is worth registering
Highlight all fields.
Click Sort.
Sort by column B and set the order from Z to A.
The sorted results give you a snapshot of high PR domains worth registering.
Any domain with ‘invalid’ next to it should be scrubbed.
Any domain with Unvalidateable should be checked with a 3rd party PR tool.
Any domains with just the Page Rank should be examined and seriously considered being registered.
How to determine if a domain has links still in Google
Highlight all fields.
Click Sort.
Sort by column D and set the order from Largest to Smallest.
The sorted results give you a snapshot of domains with backlinks still showing in Google.
The more backlinks, the better!
How to determine if a domain has pages indexed in Google
Highlight all fields.
Click Sort.
Sort by column F and set the order from Largest to Smallest.
The sorted results give you a snapshot of domains with pages still indexed in Google.
The more pages still indexed, the better!
How to determine if a domain is ‘aged’.
Highlight all fields.
Click Sort.
Sort by column C and set the order from smallest to largest.
The sorted results give you a snapshot of the age of the domains.
The older the domain, the better!
I hope this little guide gives you some direction on how to effectively find expired domains to register.

Hi Keith:
Great info … as usual.

Hi Keith,
this is great info, but will the age of the domain go back to zero when I register it again, or have I missed something?
