Expired domains in travel and leisure

Consistent niche throughout its entire history (2011-2022) — the website of the Super 8 hotel in Brainerd (Baxter), Minnesota. No niche change recorded.

Originally (2009–2011) — a travel/timeshare landing page about Welk Resorts hotels and timeshare presentations in Cabo San Lucas; from 2012 to 2017 — periodic 301 redirects and empty/problematic snapshots; in 2025 — a live site with Chinese gambling content (乐投平台), i.e., a radical niche shift from travel/hospitality to casino/betting.

From 2013 to 2024, the domain was consistently used for a site about travel and photography in Vietnam (page title "Photos of Vietnam taken during a tour to Vietnam"). In 2025–2026, the niche drastically shifted to a Chinese gambling resource (J9 casino).

Originally the site of a Greek hotel (2013–2016, tourism niche), after a long period of inactivity and a series of redirects (2017–2019) it was repurposed into a Thai-language blog, which by 2023–2025 turned into an affiliate platform for the Ufabet online casino. The final gambling niche is completely at odds with the original link profile (tourism/hotel).

The site started as a placeholder, then from 2013 to 2016 it developed as a hotel chain website (D-C199D6) in Jakarta. From 2016 until the drop, the domain was in a state of constant 301/302 redirect.

The domain went through several major niche changes: a long period of redirects and parking (2005–2018), then dating content (2019–2021), followed by a sharp switch to travel (2022) and finally to a Chinese casino/lottery (2023). The final niche (gambling) does not match the likely backlink profile accumulated over previous years.

Initially a hotel site (Alba Hotel Montecatini Terme) in 2013–2014, then a sharp change to a spam shop Giubbotti Moncler (2015), followed by a series of parking/redirects, and since 2020 — weight loss spam (Soluzioni Di Perdita Di Peso). The final niche does not match the hotel link profile.

From 2022 to early 2025, the site consistently existed as a Vietnamese blog about entertainment and tourism in Ninh Binh (a province in Vietnam). In July 2025, the niche abruptly shifted to Chinese content with the title «鶴壁外圍» (likely spam or a doorway page).

Originally a personal blog about Linux and entertainment, then a site for Japanese love hotels, later Indonesian gambling (Togel), and finally PC game recommendations. Multiple niche changes to spammy verticals.

Based on the name, the site was related to tourism/holiday rentals in the Italian region (Campomarino). However, no stable content is visible: titles like "One moment, please..." and frequent fetch errors (fetch_failed) indicate the domain was used as a doorway page or technical placeholder rather than a full-fledged site.

From 2007 to 2020, the site was dedicated to ecotourism in the city of Hanno (Japan). In 2021, the niche abruptly shifted to 'Tourism and Casino' (観光とカジノ), which is a classic sign of a domain being taken over for spam/gambling.

Initial history (2004-2005) — domain parking with a for-sale note. In 2016, a real site "D-B47808 Company" matching the domain name was recorded. The current version (2024-2026) is also dedicated to tours and excursions in Shiraz, Iran. No niche change was detected between 2016 and the final version, but the active period was short-lived and intermittent.

From 2006 to 2019, the domain operated as a link exchange directory in the travel niche, which is a classic sign of a spam project. After 2019 — a period of domain parking and restart attempts, ending with empty placeholders (nginx, empty page titles).

Originally a personal blog about food and travel by Dipali Bhasin, consistently active until 2024. In 2025, it underwent a drastic shift to a spammy doorway page for an online casino with an Indonesian-language page title.

The domain started as a legitimate site about D-8C0F2D (2009–2013), then went through a series of redirects and content changes. Since 2016, spam niches have alternated: Chinese gambling (2017), Indonesian bookmakers (2023–2025). The final niche (SOFATOTO — gambling) completely mismatches the original and the link profile.

Originally a site about tourism in Thailand (2013–2016), then switched to a site about GPS trackers (2018), then to a Japanese blog about body care (2020–2024). The final niche does not match the original one, which likely accounts for the bulk of the backlinks.

The domain started as a site about China and travel (2001), then for a long time existed as a blank page with the title "index". In 2020, it abruptly switched to Asian online casinos and betting, and in 2023 mutated into a porn site (hentai).

Originally a site about tourism in Oita Prefecture (2004–2009), then repeatedly changed: spam doorway pages (2009–2012), foreign employment (2013–2015), fake brand store (2015–2016), long downtime (2017–2020), and finally a site about job changes in Oita (2021–2022). The niche is highly unstable.

The domain had a stable theme (hotels in Cusco, Peru) from 2016 to 2019, but then a radical change occurred: in 2020 it was put up for sale, in 2023 it was repurposed for Japanese content (apartment rentals), and since 2024 it has shown generic content ("Comprehensive Guide"). The link profile was built for the original theme (travel/hotels), making it irrelevant for current use.

From 2014 to 2021 — a stable site about traveling in Hong Kong (tourist tips). In 2025 the domain was hijacked and filled with content from a Chinese online casino (安博).
