Is the above true? It's what I've seen so far this year for any domains I've purchased. Looks like Google drew a line in the sand and decided that any expired domains from that point ownwards will lose their backlink power, making them useless for PBNs

    It is what you have seen based on what?

    I have seen nothing like that this year.

      I've noticed that they don't make much of a difference and I'm chasing low competition keywords. Where as before, they used to make a big difference now they don't do anything. The metrics for these domains have all showed to be decent. There's a lot of content on these site as well, maybe 10 posts of 400 plus word articles, all niche relevant, all super high quality, before a link was added to a money site. I've read on other sites about an invisible no-follow added to the whole profile for expired domains. It makes sense that Google would do something like this.

        Metrics are gimmicks, they don't rank pages.

        The domain history (was it spam?) and followed backlink profile (are they good links?) is all that matters.

        Assumes you kept the old URLs intact or 301 redirected and not sending backlink flow to 404 pages.

      Not even close to being impossible or unrealistic. Google probably will one day do something similar with domains that go through expiring auctions.

      However I see no evidence that day has come yet. The domains could be too weak or spammed up

    Basically when domain changes hands it usually overhauled with new content.
    When G. bot scrolling new content but can't find old links mentioned in referrals,
    G. would drop that "dead links" and as result will diminish whatever you call
    "backlink power".
