Just wanted to share a project I’ve been working on. It’s called ClickyLeaks - it scans public YouTube videos for old external links that point to domains which have since expired.

If the domain is still available to register, it flags it.

Surprisingly, a lot of these dead links are still getting traffic today. Some are linked in the descriptions of videos with hundreds of thousands (or millions) of views. The goal was to turn this into a tool for digital archeology, growth hacking, or just weird web exploration.

I built it mostly for fun, but a few folks are now using it for redirect experiments, affiliate funnels, or SEO hijacks.

Site is here if you’re curious: 👉 https://clickyleaks.com/

Happy to answer questions or explain how it works behind the scenes.
