question Are all expired domains which receive traffic unavailable for registration?

[Lord Antares]

Or is it possible to find one available even if it recives decent traffic?

 

[handpicked]

excellent idea

The reason I ask, guys, is because I am able to make a bot which can scrape high view count youtube videos and return to me links which give a 404, meaning unregistered domains.

The idea is it might be possible to find some trafficked ones this way and monetize them either via redirection or a landing page.

Hence the question. Do you think all the ones worth the while have been caught by dropcatchers?

I used to do the same thing with scrapebox,it has premium plugin called expired domain finder,i would go to youtube,filter the videos by most viewed,paste the url to scrapebox and let it work,eventually i gave up on that tactic because after hundreds scrapes i would find only few domains worth registering.And if you are going to go with this tactic on this video you can see how to list videos by most viewed this month/year etc.
