Ive done some experiments over the previous few months about expiring domains with PR to see if it is worth your whilst to catch these expired and deleted domains.

My idea why I would like to use expired domains is the notion that old domains are favored than new domains, and to get instant PR.

So I set out to find deleted domains with PR that I can register. 1 characteristic of domains I was hunting for was that the domain nonetheless had a PR, and it was nonetheless listed in google.

I wont be mentioning the actual domains right here as I require to manage the final results and avert individuals from making backlinks to these domains.

I registered about four domains, some have PR2 and PR3. Some have a couple of pages indexed, some have a couple of thousand. I also bought a couple of new domains for my new projects.

I found out that google rarely visits these domains so I need to prime it but with some fresh backlinks. Immediately after making some backlinks to these domains, two domains eventually lost their PR. These two domains have only a few pages indexed in google. In one particular domain, I did a 301 permanent redirect to the new index page. This domain retained its PR. 1 crucial distinction this domain has compared to the other two is that this domain has thousands of pages indexed in google.

In one more domain, I did a 301 and redirect it to a fresh new domain. The result is that the new domain got indexed quicker and a lot more pages were indexed compared to one more new domain I registered at the identical time. However, PR was down to .

There is also a case exactly where I did a 301 redirect from an old deleted domain with PR and in no way got any advantage from it.

In conclusion, there is nevertheless conflicting outcomes on no matter whether buying deleted/expired domains. Some functions, some dont. Nevertheless, what appear to work is that

a. Old delete domains does include site visitors from existing backlinks. If the old domain has tons of backlinks, it nonetheless does produce some site visitors.

b. Other search engines such as yahoo and msn do not look to have an biases against expired/deleted domains.
