This is a video that I made a very long time ago about the life cycle of a domain. Every single domain name goes through various stages when the owner decides he or she does not want it anymore. Even though the video was made a long time ago, the facts are still the same about the stages of a domain name. The technology behind domain names has not changed very much over the last couple of decades. But understanding the terminology and the various stages that I discussed in this video will help you a lot if you are trying to drop catch domains or purchase expired domains to revive and reuse.
Believe it or not page two domains are still a huge part of successful businesses on the internet. Google still has a sandbox that limits new domain names from ranking easily in their search engine. As a result many people go and try to get expired domains or old domains and use them for their new projects to avoid this sandbox delay. But in order to do all of this successfully you need to understand the basic facts about the stages that a domain name goes through before you would be able to acquire it and use it for your own. So sit back, take notes, and get ready to learn about the stages of a domain names life cycle.
There are many different terms used to explain the status of domains: Expired, redemption, dropped etc. If you are going to buy up used domains you need to know what each of these things mean. I put together this video to explain the various terms, what they mean, and how you can use them for your benefit.

thank you so much for your information we are lookimg forward to see you in thiis business .
very cool Chad, I was wondering if the news blog is attached to my regular web site which is commercial, will that negatively effect things.
Thanks for the video and the great idea
Hi Chad
Thanks for the video.
I purchased my news site back in November 2010, it was an aged domain created in 2004. I didn’t do anything special in transferring the domain to keep the age etc but when I look at the site in the SEOBOOK Firefox plugin it shows the creation date as 03/2004, so does that mean the site age is preserved?
I haven’t applied to Google yet as I haven’t enough content.
Is it a good idea to go for a narrow niche newsite right from the start or is it better to have a general newsite to begin with and then go narrow as the site becomes established?

This is brilliant and amazing information. Be waiting for the course. I have wanted to get a step-by-step guide to build Google News site. The information you already share here is golden. Thanks, Chaddo
Hey chad,
Great video about Google news site inclusion.
I have been gathering the information to start my site so your info was
very timely for me.
The only area that I am unsure about is subject selection.
ie
Should my site be about
ALL news or
SPORTS news or just a niche like
NFL news or even
FLORIDA NFL news.
Obviously the broader the news the more opportunities.
Does this matter with regard to inclusion or is anything ok so long
as there is sufficient news worthy content?
Thanks
Rob

Hey Chad do you think we could get a video in the members area for this and domain tweak. The training is really good. Everyone should get this course just a few hours left.
I love the way you think. You always have a unique perspective and take on things. Your release of the Revenge of the MiniNet is awesome and this roadmap for creating News Sites is a blessing that I can’t wait to try with my clients. Keep up the great work.
Chad
Great stuff I only wish I had know of the skills you have, this would have saved me hundreds of dollars.
Thanks
James
