How to scrape expired content from archive.org?

[eneiromatos]

You just need the content or all the pages? i can do the job if you need just the old articles.

I wonder what's googles algorithm's take on websites that are resurrected this way?

If a domain drops and completely changes etc - all history is gone
The key is not letting one drop and keeping as close as you can, not look like a shiity pbn

Right! I didn't know the site was soooo big! I will test it now, 'cos I had to stop the previous download (too large!).
Thanks!



Yes, the broken part is also my problem, I will see if it's possible to fix it.
Thanks for the tip of the WP plugin, I didn't know it!

You gotta meticulously match the exact folder layout of the original site. You can even get the same themes, plugins and most important of all making sure the images are in the same locations.

The rankings seem to come back quick, within a week. I've seen only good results with my sites done this way.

If that's the case why isn't everyone doing this? (or are they?) Why do people even bother to make sites from scratch for affiliate content if you can just resurrect a site like this and adding your affiliate links into the thousands of posts that are already ranked?

Because like our friend here says:

It's only worth doing this to a powerful domain that you win thru an auction for example, and a good powerful site is going to cost you a few hundred dollars to buy. Expired domains that can be registered normally "dropped" will not work that well.

Also I can imagine everyone's not doing this because it's basically copyright infringement, so makes it risky to monetize. Just get ready to delete it if you have a problem.

You can import the pages to WordPress with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-html-pages/

Any wordpress plugin or method to duplicate a entire target website to yours? I guess this has to be done by a custom plugin? (of course + others functions like remove links, images, etc.)

Currently, I am looking to find a way to quick duplicate every article from any website, through wp way.

Yes with that plugin you can do an entire website. You put all the HTML pages in one folder and upload that to the plugin import folder. After you can go and set the parent structure and menus. If you put the old images in the same location as the old site on your new site, when you import the images will show up too. Make sure in the plugin is set to "import linked images" and "update internal links" in the settings.

You'll still have to go thru each page and clean it up. Often the formatting is messy, but this method saves a lot of time.

To have billed for a couple of thousand dollars in Archivarix you must have about several million files in your website. To get such huge website from archive.org you need to wait about... several weeks I think.

Yes, you are right. I absolutely did not want to say that your service is expensive, the website I'm trying to download now is really huge (thousands or maybe millions of pages), when I will have some small website to download probably I will pay for your interesting service, included the free one you offer. Sorry for any misunderstanding

By copy/pasting manually, or do you have a scraper to save the content?

Try out PBNHQ wayback website downloader. You need not know any coding to extract the pages.
