I was just doing a new site on a new domain and i was considering paying the $299 to get into the yahoo directory.
While i was looking for the correct category to submit it to i saw the domain at the top of the category had expired so i just peeped in a bought it.
So my plan to spend $299 without a guarantee of submission and then if i did get in pay another $299 next year has turned into buying a new domain for $6.

Oh,, yeah,, its not a million dollar success story but its a nice one for me.

Cheers m8, that's a nice bonus

D'ya think you can keep any of the other "benefits" of the old domain?

I presume the original content was already gone, but the domain might be in a couple more directories and indexes...

I didnt submit the site anywhere to see what would happen.

It took two days to enter yahoo and 3 days to enter google.

It has about 10 containing the `domain.co.uk` in google and many more in yahoo and i think it will just self populate its self when the scrapers start finding it as a live link again.
I think the link had been broken for quite a few months before it expired.

I will probably just leave it alone to see what happens to it.
If its in the yahoo directory i may as well optomize it for yahoo and msn and just hope it works.

The pagerank if any will definetely have long gone by now.
