    Does your new site fit the domain?

      It is somewhat of a generic domain. I'm not sure whether to put a site on it and flip it. Or use the or to rank a site.

    Why did you buy it if you do not have any plan on how to use it?

      Why did you post if you had nothing positive to say ?

    Its makes no difference whatsoever what the domain was before. This is what I specialize in...trust me

    The reason people say you have to use the domain for what it was before is because of the fear of losing back links to it and your PR dropping (i.e. the sites sending links may notice the site isnt what it once was and remove the back links), or that Google will penalize the domain for now being different, which just isnt true. Fact is, you will lose some links no matter what anyway, but you can minimize that by installing a 404 redirection plugin.

    Trust me...I have domains in spanish and have english content that has nothing to do with the content was on the site before...it makes no difference...

    as far as what I would do with the domain (provided the back link profile is good...shoot me a PM and I'll help you analyze it if you want) I would use it to send links to my money sites and boost my rankings.

    Thanks rjames, I don't believe the back link profile is good from the checks I made. What would you suggest ?

        In any niche ? And back link it as if its a new domain ?

          if its going to be a money site, you probably want the domain name to make sense for the niche because of the user experience...

          as far as the back links, I would need to see the profile to decide what I would do for linking...

    If it is a generic name, it can be used for any niche. You can use it for the niche you love. Owning a PR6 domain is a great thing my point of view. If you use it, you will get good result.
