Expired domains often have traffic. This is because their owners have often bought them, built successful sites for them, and then for one reason or another forgotten about them. They may have purchased a new domain to use for the site, or they might be individuals or small business owners who ended up being unable to maintain the site properly. Whatever the reason may be, the domain is left to expire, and it’s ripe for the picking by a lucky domain flipper.
You may also find domains with traffic on domain auction sites. In general, owners of domains that have a large amount of traffic know that they are valuable. But some do not know just how valuable, and they prefer to sell through an auction format instead of setting a price. Others like the potential for prices to be driven up through bidding, and feel that they will come out ahead by selling at auction. Sometimes this works out in their favor, and sometimes the buyer ends up getting an awesome deal.
Many domain flippers prefer to look for domains with traffic on classified ad websites. Those that specialize in domain name resale often have domains listed that are of high quality all around: They have traffic and concise, memorable, keyword-packed names. Such quality domains tend to sell at premium prices, but it’s possible to find better deals than you would get at auction in some cases.
