SEO notes for .io

Google treats .io as a generic extension (a "gccTLD"), not as a country signal for British Indian Ocean Territory: a site on it can be geo-targeted to any country in Search Console.

Of the .io names Majestic has scored, 1% carry Trust Flow 10 or more and 0% reach 20. 0.6% of the list is flagged for a spammy or adult name; the spam filters (TF/CF ratio, anchor text, language) catch most of the rest before you bid.

.io questions

Can anyone register a .io domain?

None. Anyone, anywhere, can register a .io name; no residency or business requirement.

How do I buy an expiring .io domain?

Bid in the registrar auction where the name is listed (Namecheap, DynaDot, DropCatch, GoDaddy), buy it at the fixed price when it has one, or place a backorder so a drop-catching service registers it for you the moment it drops. Every row on DomCop links to the listing and shows the metrics before you spend anything.

How often is the .io list updated?

New listings and drop lists are loaded through the day and the metrics (Majestic, Moz, Ahrefs, Open PageRank, SEMrush and more) are fetched as each name arrives; availability is re-checked on a ladder after a listing ends.

How many .io domains are expiring right now?

23,092 .io names are in the list at the moment, 6,680 of them ending in the next 24 hours.

Since starting SEO back in 2009, it has become very difficult to rank brand new domains. Unless you are building a brand, it's highly recommended that you start every new money site with an expired domain. Additionally, if you're building a PBN, you should only consider using expired domains. The problem is good domains start at $50 a piece, and anyone charging less is either full of sh*t or selling garbage domains, and I mean that. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. DomCop has a great offer that all of you buying expired domains should consider. For the price of a couple domain names, you can use DomCop for a month, snag some excellent domain names, which would otherwise cost you thousands of dollars. If you're considering expired domain software and don't have the knowledge to program your own crawler, I'd lean towards DomCop.
