Godaddy Auction Domain - Previous PBN, worth bidding?

[tg01]

Anyone who is building, has built or runs a PBN what’s your thoughts on using a domain previously used as a PBN?


I ask, as I’ve used expireddomains.net and spamzilla.io to check through the domain (and taken a look at archive.org too) and seem to have a cracking domain.

Its got my niche in the domain, it’s got a majestic topical trust flow for the niche around 20 and a RD around 40.

The anchor text is clean, the links appear to be clean and original, the only flag is.. it’s been used as an unrelated PBN before.

So is it worth bidding and registering to then use as a Niche related PBN?
(I’ve had zero luck finding niche domains so far).

Give me your thoughts, recommendation and advice.

Thanks!

Any ideas?

Absolutely not. If it has been used as PBN previously, that's one of the biggest red flags there is. Even though the domain is indexed, it might be toxic. I've seen some pretty bad results with previously abused domains.

There are some niches where you simply won't find any relevant domain. That's how it goes. Niche relevancy is overrated as it is, I've talked about it here - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/c...osts-metrics-spam-and-niche-relevancy.916518/

Thanks for the advice and link.
I’ll leave registering that one, and go back to digging!

Agreed with Nargil, not worth the risk, not to mention time and money setting it up. Some are even honey traps and you get a manual penalty the moment you stick a link on them.
