The interesting point to this is … when you give up on a website and let that domain expire then the site and the google rank vanishes … it ’ s gone .
But unless you manually log into YouTube and delete those videos linked to your site ( which hardly anyone does ) then they stay right there … and the traffic and popularity of the video grows , not in every case of course but believe me they are there .
So what does that mean for you ?
OK , so let ’ s assume you picked a keyword , hoped over to YouTube found a bunch of videos and started going through them looking for the golden nuggets the channel owners left behind .
What you need to do …
1 . You need to look for videos with traffic … obvious 2 . Check to see it still gets traffic … makes sense right ? 3 . Check the video description just under the video and look for a link 4 . Now click that link to see if the site it relates to is still active
5 . If it isn ’ t then there is a very good chance you can actually buy the domain . And when you do , then you have effectively just hijacked all the traffic that video gets … it ’ s yours in an instant … and no I ’ m not joking , look .
