im just new here and also a noobie in domains
thank you for this wonderful community

i just started domaining in just a week
learned some stuff from reading ewen's expired domain expire
also thought that I can really earn from this

do you think a newly registered domain can be more valuable than expired one?

hoping to learn alot, thanks guys

it depends on the domain, as new domains nowadays needs to be develop

It all depends on the keywords and extension of both a new and expired name. There are still a lot of good names unregistered on some extensions. Just because a name is expiring doesn't mean its good necessarily.

Correct, however if the name is not used for spam or blacklisted somewhere then it's better to use an old name.

1. expired domains (if they are not blacklisted) most likely will already have some traffic
2. expired domains most likely will be already listed by search engines
3. expired domains (if they was developed by previous owner) already have a content that makes visitors to come back for it.
All of this 1,2,3 are about an expired domain that have been actively used by someone else, and now he/they just have no needs for it.
This kind of domain i would prefer for sure vs newly registered one.

First off .... Welcome to NPs. Best wishes with all your ventures.

I agree, to some extent, on the older name being more desirable. That said we always see new products, services, trends, news etc that open a door on new names.

An example might be a name I hold that is waiting for the technology to support it. Older names would not work because the technology was not common a few years back. So in this niche the newer name will work much better than an older name (imho).

Development is the trump. Building value is a win win win for the name, the holder and the future buyer. A good clean history on a name is a very good thing. A bad or undesirable history is very bad..... If a name has a good developed history it is better or at least holds an advantage to a "fresh" name. I'm mixed on the effect, in value or desirability, of an older name that was simply parked for a few years.




Good luck

Welcome
But always remember ,maybe name is expiring because it was crap
Regging a lousy name you picked out is a honest mistake.
Re-regging an expiring Lousy name is plain silly

Welcome! I prefer expired domains, but then again, I work with short doamnis so all the good ones re already regged. It depends on what time of domains you are looking for
