Hi

To give my site a little boost as it sits on page 2 at the moment I am considering buying a few expired domains that have a pr of say 3 or more with a decent trust flow. I am then going to transfer the domains to server (reseller account) and setup 301 redirects on them to my money site.

So the expired domains I buy will be on the same c class ip as my money site but thats ok isnt it?

What website is best to check out expired domains I remember being on one that showed you the page rank of the domain, and back links etc Just looking for a bit of guidance on the best website to use for this

    GoDaddy Auctions are a great place to find aged domains, you can run an advanced search to select things like age/pr etc. I regularly use GoDaddy Auctions, give it a look

    What is the url do you mean prdrop.info?

    The annoying thing is there is so many domains that say in majestic 8000 backlinks from 12 refering domains. Clearly domains that have been made to look better then they are with unnatural backlink profiles. Some even have faked prs on the above site like prs of 8 lol

    Sorry there is no way to filter out PR or BACKLINKS on here, I just find a good aged domain that I think would work for me and then analyse it with firefox seo toolbar

    Instead of setting up a 310 redirect, I would setup a small website on the expired domain with some content and post a link to your main site. If two sites are on the same C class IP, then the page rank juice would be lesser (because the search engines would know that its very likely that both the sites belong to the same person). So best would be to have them on different IPs.

    You can use DomCop to check for expired domains. For choosing an expired domains do not only consider the page rank of the domain. Most people don't know this but the page rank used internally by google and the page rank shown on the toolbars are not the same (for obvious reasons). You should therefore consider the SEOmoz rank, the SEMrush rank, Alexa rank, Age, the number and quality of the back links to the domain.

      Or for a quick check run then domain through SEO SpyGlass Backlink Checker Software: X-Ray Your Competition (free software) and use the technique I have in this video to quickly check to see what backlinks are actually still listed.

      Actually you are wrong. Google would expect that a site being 301'd to another site would be on the same IP. There is no harm in that.

      As for the OP's plan, unless you are buying a domain in the same niche, doing a 301 is a bad idea. Let's say your site is about dog training and you buy a site about dieting. 301'ing all those dieting links to your site about dog training is not going to provide a benefit.

        Yes was about to write the same because I have seen a lot of people recently thinking that 301 redirects from aged domains is an answer all by itself. I suppose its because people don't want to have the bother of setting ups site on those aged domains. However as you note it doesn't matter beans if the anchor texts on the links to the aged domains is not related to your site.

        You can do that with a network site I suppose just to convey juice but not where anchor text matters

        Regarding the different IPs, I was referring to setting up a small website (maybe blog) and linking to the main domain to get the juice. Sorry if I was not very clear.
