Buying expiring domains, how to see traffic?
 

I've been playing around with buying expiring domains that are similar to my adult ecard website but what's happening is the domains I'm buying are either receiving little or no traffic. My goal of course is to purchase a domain that is already receiving a lot of traffic which I could then direct to my website, would anyone know of a way where I'm able to see how much traffic a domain is receiving before I purchase the domain?

Thanks!

Well from my experience dropped domains tend to be shit for SE traffic.

In the case of just18.org the site was spammed by the former owners and abused.
I can not get it indexed by Bing they wont even look at it because some Child Abuse group has it on a ban list. This is being fixed now that I have the domain but its been a real pain in the fucking ass... I got it up and running with Google now but that alone took 2 weeks practically.

Domains that drop lose PR really quick.

So be careful.

Ah, great points, didn't think about the negatives. I think I'll reevaluate this technique.

Thanks for the reply!
