One Tip to Help Your Site Rank Better

This may help some, others not so much. One way to help your site rank is, you could go buy an expired domain and check it's age and pagerank before you buy it and you could use this domain for your main page or you can use it as a backlink to your main page.

You could put some good content on the bought domain name (i'll call it site#1 for now on) and make sure it provides helpful advice for the user and then you could tell them to visit your main site (site#2) where you will have more helpful advice for them and that should give you a strong backlink, so make sure you fill site#2 with good content.

Start out by going to digital point, godaddy auctions, flippa, there are others to, do a search on google to find them. When you are looking for a site to get a backlink from make sure it is relevant to your main site, it doesn't have to have the exact same keyword in the domain name just something similar.

When you are looking you want to get one with good pagerank and age to it. When you find one that looks good first copy and paste the domain into the browser and make sure it does not redirect, make sure it is the same domain you pasted when the site is done loading. If that is okay then go to whois (type whois domain tools in google) paste the site in the bar and click lookup then it should come up with info on the site.

You want to see the age and if it has any drops, if the site has any drops, you will see, it will tell you how many. If it doesn't have drops it won't say anything about drops so then your good. Next check to see if the pagerank is legit, the easy way is to install google toolbar and just go to the site or you can install the add on seoquake and type into google; "info:yoursite" and it will come up with the site and tell you the page rank of the site and the links from other pages on the site, and if the site is not there and it shows a different site, that is another way to tell if the site has a redirect and is faking the pagerank and you shouldn't buy it.

It may take time but if you find a site that has pr3+ and 3+ years of age that will be a very powerful link, because it is a real site that has your link (not a directory), it has pagerank and age, and you will have a contextual backlink (a link in the text body on the webpage) and not a link from a resource box. This one link can be more powerful than hundreds, thousands of 0 or no pagerank links from article directories and blog comments.

Hope this helps.

    I was under the impression that google reset their history for a domain that has been dropped and restarted with an effective age of zero.

    You can find domains up to 10 years old that have not yet dropped on the Godaddy auction for as little as $5 for crummy passed over names. i've gotton decent names with a few existing backlinks for $20.

        I have heard of this before. Especially when there are backlinks still pointing to the domain even though it is expired. So it may help to buy the domain and put content on it to "keep" all those backlinks by using 301 redirects that way the links are not broken.

          I was under the impression that backlinks from the same IP weren't worth much. Assuming you're using the same host for both domains of course.

            When you do almost any other linking your linking is done under the same ip address so they are no different. This kind of link will be way more powerful than the kind of links explained above.

            I have seen a service that has a unique process that spreads out your links with different ip addresses, i can't remember who they are though, it would take too long to try and remember, i might have them bookmarked?

            I don't think the same ip matters much as long as your not getting thousand of spammy links blasted out under the same ip. some under the same ip i don't think is a problem. You can do a permanent 301 redirect to.

            I know how to hide my ip, but i don't do that and won't talk about how to do it.

              I think you might have misunderstood.

              What I meant was the IP address of the domain that the link is hosted on. It would most likely be the same IP as your website which wouldn't count for much from what I've been led to believe. Could be wrong though.

                If the sites are clean and all represent different content within the same niche you will not be devalued, As long as the sites contain different content.

                I know that if the sites are naughty and similar or overlapping content your best to spread the hosting otherwise the links WILL be devalued.

                 What i said above only matters if you use a certain hosting plan. There are hosting plans that will allow you to host your sites with different ips.

                Now a more direct answer to you, i think if you link under the same hosting ip a few times it doesn't really matter, but if you over do it than you increase your chances of being devalued, and like i said above, the content will matter to, if you have content and link it to your other site that has the same content under the same ip you probably will be devalued.
