expired domains vs auction domains

[kamgae]

Do expired domains still work for your PBNs or you rather use auction domains?

Hi

Expired domains still work. Auction domains are very costly for PBN

 

[MisterF]

Both work, just depends on your budget and requirements.

They all work. It merely comes down to style and budget. There's no right or wrong how you reach #1 with PBNs. If ROI is there, it doesn't matter what kind of domains you use.

Its possible I suppose.
You just dont find expired domains with decent link profiles these days easily.

Rather pay alittle extra money for better domain.

Prerelease domains at Namejet and Expired Auction domains at Godaddy are better than domains that are caught on the drop, i.e. pending delete. The prerelease domains and expired auction domains retain their original whois date. Newly registered and dropped domains start from scratch.

It absolutely does not matter. It's not a factor and never will be. Once the content is deindexed, it's back to square one. If you put on a new content anyway, it still starts at square one. Domain age is pointless. All that matters is how long has the content been in index.

All that matters is how long has the content been in index.

I thought all that matters is how strong the backlink profile is.

We have seen extremely good results from expired domains for PBN.

DM me if you want to hear more about link building with expired domains.

Of course. I was just commenting on the factor of age, which is irrelevant unless you have a live site.

Without second thoughts you can go with expired domains.

Based on my personal experience, both will still work fine. Except for the fact that expired domains would be less ideal, because these are already screened through by domain hunters, and most of them are virtually worthless, as they are the bottom portion of the food chain. Auctioned domains would be much better in terms of metrics, but since they have yet to expire, or pending expiry, many domain hunters would be eyeing these domains instead, thus the price is higher.

Expired domains work fine, just make sure they are not spammed to death already.

I have been able to build my link profile and rank really well with expired domains. cheap to register and scrape. I for example have DR 40s with DA 24, PA 30. I even have a domain with a .ac suffix. have great backlink profile. All that matter is they are not spammed to death

Would love to hear from you. Thanks!

 

[Chiefjop]

both work but it's getting harder by the day to get good expired domains

content is king. you forgot? links are dead.

Since no1 mentioned it here it takes around 1-2 MONTHS after your PBN's content indexes for it to pass juice. Matt Diggity did a test on this in 2016, so did Charles Floate in 2017. Diggity said 36 days, Floate said its taking longer in 2017, at least from his experience.
In August I made a PBN of 25 domains, expired and auction mix. From my anecdotal evidence, some (roughly 2-3 out of 10) of my expired domains (clean wayback, anchor text profile, bought from Nargil/PBNHQ etc) aren't passing any juice, even after 2 months of being indexed. All of the auctioned domains without a drop history are working, however.

Has anyone else noticed this? (if you don't run tests don't answer this please, I am not looking for your opinion/"experience" here even if you were doing SEO before the internet started)

P.S How I test my PBNs are I create content, let it sit at least a month after indexing, then link to a competitor in your niche whos site hasn't been receiving any links, usually on page 3-4, make the link an exact match anchor, track the competitor's site for the exact anchor text I linked. Then typically one of two things happen:
1. Nothing
2. It jumps to page 2, sometimes even page 1 for that specific term.

Is there a better way/faster way to test PBN's?
