Does an expired domain with a Chinese backgroud but not chinese anchor texts is any good?

I found a great domain for my niche (the domain is in english) with TF 23 CT 22. On archive.org I can see that the website was originally in french and then it changed to chinese for 1 year. Both sites architecture was good, they look legit.

The domain has 89% brand name anchor text, 7% URL anchor text and 4% keyword anchor text. All in french.

The domain is indexed in Google.

Can I use this domain for my money site?

    Yes, you can use it or any other domain, for that matter. Google could not care less what your domain name is. They do not care about your 89% brand name anchor text, 7% URL anchor text or your 4% keyword anchor text. None of those things have anything to do with SEO and will not help you rank the site one bit.

      ?????

      You must have been trying to say something else because thats wrong.

      Let say there are 2,000 links to that domain. Not only do you get some credit for referral links BUT at 4% keyword anchor text thats 80 relevant links. If those are of good authority it most certainly is what SEO is about.

        I should have clarified that better. I guess the confusion I have is that the OP never said what language this site was going to be in. He said the domain was in English but not that the site was going to be written in English, French, Chinese or any other language. My assumption was it was going to use English, which may be totally wrong.

        Anchor text in French is only going to help a site that is targeting French keywords. The links may or may not be good ones. I just did a site review of a website whose owner said they had more than 1,000 great links but couldn't figure out why it wasn't ranking well. I couldn't find a single one of the links that I thought was marginally decent - all were spam, so the number of links means nothing if they aren't good ones. We don't know if there are even 20 links, let alone 2,000 of them. All we know is they have great French words in them.

    I think there are some distribution of anchor texts which help rank but it what you have it is ok for beginning. More important is quality of referring sites.

    Yes - if its indexed then it most likely was not penalized. It was probably used by a chinese spammer who let it go for another reason. If the links are good - go forth and conquer. The in coming links will have some effect for SEO.
