00:48 – Dropped domains are abandoned or expired domains
01:07 – Eric has been buying domains that have worked well and has a good number on Ahrefs
01:12 – What Eric does is he takes the site, takes the top pages and redirects it over to his money site
01:22 – The site that Eric bought has keywords that they’re targeting, at the moment
01:30 – Neil also learned something from this 
01:48 – If you already have a popular site, you will not gain from this doing this technique—it’s not for you
01:57 – The technique that Eric uses works, but the dropped domain must relate to what you are doing 
02:05 – You can use Internet Archive to see what the site used to be

03:13 – Go to Wayback Machine to see what the website used to be in the past
03:53 – There are website brokers like FE International and Flippa if you’re willing to buy a more established site 
04:11 – Doing this with a more established website is way better than using dropped domains
04:15 – Most people buy dropped domains and put a website on there or they take the domain to redirect traffic to their site
