Redirecting clicks from expired domains

Is it feasible?

[Collector25]

Hi All,

Well I have been lurking for awhile and have found many of the previous topics in these forums very useful.

I thought I would throw this one out there and see if anyone has any ideas.

I have read a lot about expired domain traffic. Are there any pay per click places that will actually pay you if you just automatically send through this traffic?

So if I have newly registered somewhereorother (.com) and it is getting 100 hits per day. Can i forward that traffic on to somewhere and get like $.05 or some such for each hit?

Thanks and greets to all! :o)

On this same topic, are the only ways to check traffic for an expired site via alexa.com and one of the many free link popularity checking pieces of software?

How reliable is the Alexa data? I have done a few searches for info around the web and found that there are many mixed opinions.

Cheers,
Rob

There are some domain name traffic farms that do give you money for redirecting traffic on names to them. I've never used any so don't recall the names. Should turn up in a search pretty easily though. Of course you'd be adding to popup from hell insanity most likely.

I doubt it's 5 cents a hit though. If it is, the advertisers are paying wayyyy too much for junk traffic.

And Alexa traffic numbers I wouldn't trust at all. Not in the slightest. They just count traffic from people using their toolbar and then multiply out and guess. I've looked at sites for which I know actual traffic and compared them to Alexa's guesses and there's no rhyme or reason. Sites with next to no traffic can be ranked tons higher with sites with lots of actual traffic.

And the toolbar users as a whole seem to have a super high percentage of people going to their own sites to build up the stats and then use that to try to sell the sites for more money. It's be like the Nielsons TV ratings service polling mostly TV execs' homes.
