Expired Domains Question

by WFAlex
1 replies
Hello,

In order to get a valuable expired domain (not some crap with fake PR etc.), I've been told that you'd have to check some stuff, like if there are any pages indexed (site:domain.com) or if the PR is fake (info:domain.com, if a domain OTHER than the expired domain in question shows up, the PR is fake).

Now I've often encountered domains where absolutely NOTHING shows up when I do the info:domain.com search. "No results for..." - Could somebody please explain to me what that could indicate?

Also, would you hesitate with an expired domain purchase simply because the site: and info: command didn't return anything - if so, why?

    If there are "No results for..." it means that there are no results for that particular name.

    It could mean that the domain

    - never had a site connected to it or
    - was removed from Google's index (because they misbehaved in some way or another)
    - there was a site at one point but it was never indexed by Google

    If nothing sows up it can be a bad sign or no sign as explained above.

    Some names are simply valuable because they sound nice or have type in traffic value. In those cases the it would not really matter what Google has about that domain or whether it was used in a wrong way in the past.
