Each and every day there are lots of domain names going up for sale because the purchase who initially purchased them has forgot about them and the ownership of them has expired. However a savvy domain name investor will quickly snap these types of domains up and have the same amount of traffic going to it even though it is actually considered to be a brand new site. So unfortunately those who forget about their domains are losing out and those that are searching for and investing in them are making money.

The only way a website can thrive is by having a constant stream of traffic going to it on a daily basis. So often when sites become available that do have a constant stream of traffic going to them will quickly be purchased by a savvy investor before being sold on for a profit.
