Dont forget that Google has historically made a point of resetting expired domains anyway. So the expired domain may have some links already pointing to it, but the sum of the link juice could be zero. I remember John Scott having problems with this *years* ago, so people may wish to read up and then reconsider the strategy:http://blog.v7n.com/2006/02/21/expired-domains/
"Google has historically made a point of resetting expired domains anyway"iBrian, I dont think thats universally true.I personally have seen several examples as recent as this year, where both PageRank and anchor text was fully inherited by the new site. So much so that sometimes it started to rank high for completely new queries within a week.
Give it time, I have seen both cases. Some domains I purchased with quite a few links ranked for about a 6 months to a year and then went completely black. Others are dead on arrival.
Ive had the same experience as phoenix. Some are awesome, some create problems. Had one guy bitch at me because the OLD owner had the site in a link exchange, and I decided I didnt want to. Dumb hassles.
@ Brian: Thanks for sharing that. Truth be told, given the minimal financial risk and time investment this tactic involves, its not necessarily prohibitive to test the waters at least.@ Brian, sza and phoenix, any chance we could chat on MSN messenger? Id be curious to see some examples of their use in practice, and what you did with them. (I already speak to Shady ;) )
This dovetails nicely with scooping up premium expired domain names that come preloaded with lots of quality backlinks http://www.netpaths.net/blog/domain-name-backorder-tools/
At cvos: Your post talks about domain name backorder tools. Not scooping up premium names with lots of quality backlinks. Thats called misrepresentation.
