Best WAY to check if aged domain is penalized by google?
I just bought an aged domain and i would like to see if it has been penalized by google.
I did the site: domainame.com
and nothing came up... That is a bad sign but the domain only has 41 backlinks according to ahrefs . Problem is ahrefs first saw those backlinks 20-41 days ago yet when i do site:domainame.com nothing comes up which worries me.
The site is Domain rating is 29 and url rating 3. I want to start a new niche so would it be very beneficial to start it on this domain instead of a brand new one?
Also i know i could create few pages , add the site to webmaster tools and submit a sitemap to see if the site will index but i know with some google penalties the site will index but it will not move past 3-4th page in google ranking so i have no sure way of testing if it trully has been penalized or do i?
I was thinking Would it be possible to email google and ask? Also if i add the domain to webmaster tools and submit index will the penalty show under manual actions after few days if the domain has been penalized?
