Dropped Domain Question

Hey,

I'm currently experimenting with various things in the SEO world and though I would give buying an expiring domain a shot for re-purposing/ perhaps using the website as a link for another relevant site.

So I just bought a domain with a good DA and good backlink profile, looks like an honest blogger who just gave up. Can you suggest any best practices or give me any tips on what I should do with it?

It is technically now a 'Dropped Domain' will re-purposing it make a pretty dangerous to use?
Is this how people make those networks?

  • Yep, re-purpose it, don't use too many obl, use shared hosting (not seo hosting), turn it into a real looking site with well-written content. Not using budget hosting is the biggie though. Plenty of information out there, you just gotta look it up. Good luck.
  • Yes, you can repurpose it. Just keep an eye on where the old incoming links were pointing too. Like if they were all pointing to an internal page you will probably want to rebuild that url structure.
  • Use fake whois, different hosts from a domain to another.

    • I would not use fake WhoIs info. If the registrar ever asks you to verify your information, you can lose the domain.

  • I would suggest against doing anything fishy, just look by going to internet wayback machine what the old site was all abt, look at the old backlinks where are they pointing to then plan accordingly. Create original valuable content and hope for the best
  • Question: I bought two decent domains through NameJet, I imagine it would be silly to keep them all in the same place?

    For example, I have two separate hosts now. Should I send one to one and the other to the other?
    One host is mine and another is a friends, so it should be safe. Won't it be suspicious to have them both with Private Who-Is?

    • private whois + thin content is a red flag

      Use different whois and different hosts (never use seo host).
      (Same host and IP could be fine if you are on a shared host with an IP with thousands of domains)
  • You can definitely re-purpose the 'dropped domain'!

    This is actually how the SEO guys build their own blog networks!

    They buy domains like that and then build a relevant blog to give their main money blog more backlink juice.

    With an old 'dropped domain' like that - you are already ahead of many other bloggers online. It has DA and backlinks already - so you have an advantage here already!

    If you are looking to get more backlinks by building your own blog network - then you are good here.

    I hope this helps!

    I wish you the best!

    Cheers!
