Where is the best place for me to scout abandoned domain names? I'm trying to look for an abandoned domain name with considerable traffic for my website. I think this is one way for me to drive an instant traffic to my site. Any suggestions?

"abandoned" hostnames are usually abandoned for a reason. Very rarely are you going to find one that has any useful or usable traffic.

I also doubt you will get an "abandoned " domain with high traffic.

Depending on your budget you may be able to purchase a domain with high traffic, but not an abandoned domain

"Abandoned" negates "traffic" !!
