A good opportunity...I think

Currently I am ranking at the #3 spot on page one for my main keyword which is good and I am happy. However, I noticed that there is another site on the first page as well that has no content and it has been on the first page as far back as I can remember. Google seems to really like the domain name which is the exact keyword that I am ranking for(.com) - mine has the word "info" after the main keyword.

So, today I noticed that the mystery site/domain name has expired and I jumped to snatch it up on back-order (it has not been deleted from the person's account yet). If they don't renew it, it's mine.

What should I do with this domain? Should I make another site and try to take up another spot on page one or should I just sit on it?

Thanks =)

    Congrats for your found fortune , IMO you should optimize the content to fit in what was there before and not change much of it. Are you selling a product or a service?

      It is a product and I was thinking along the same lines of keeping it there and just optimizing it a bit and it will be like having two sites on the first page selling the same thing. If they don't like one, maybe they will hit the other...lol

    You could 301 all the links from that domain to your site and try to get higher up. But... the fact that you are allerady no.3 and both are on the first apge you would prob gain much more traffic from having the two rank on page 1. If you write some good content you might be able to get two spots at the top of the page.
