Expired Domain Issue

[David Craig]

I have an expired domain. I wanted to use it as a money site. The issue is- I have created multiple blog pages and other product pages, all of them are showing great results in SERP but the previous URLs and the home page, I'm not getting any ranking from those URLs/pages.

Has anyone else faced this problem?
If yes, how have you dealt with it?

Any suggestions are welcome..

Thanks in advance!!

This is what sometimes happens, when you do not properly check the history of the domain and go with something, that has been previously abused. Which I am 95%+ sure is the scenario in this case.

whenever you are buying an expired domain you should check the history of the domain before you buy it, depending upon the history you will get a result, you can check the history of the domain by checking site:YOURDOMAIN.com, http://www.bannedcheck.com, https://ismywebsitepenalized.com.

What can I do next to fix it?

Did you change the slug of those URLs? What you've mentioned as the previous URL here?

I have not changed any URL.
I have added new URLs(blogs) They are giving me results
but
The URLs of my Expired domain as in Homepage - are not ranking or giving any results

As an option. Via Google Console - URL verification. Even if there is a requested page in the Google index - still request an index. Yes, a long time. Yes, by hand.

Those who say its penalized, did you even read the question?

He says new pages are doing great, which means the domain has its power.. If it was penalized. he wanted be able to index any new page in the first place.

@OP : Why do you want to rank the old domain pages.. Just create new ones and 301 redirect old pages to the new ones if you want to keep their juice.

And I'm not saying that the site is under the filter. Where did you read? If the author still has the old content and URLs working, why would he need a 301 redirect if the old URLs can be indexed through the console? Do you use Google Console?

But doing that for homepage.. Is it a good idea? Because my homepage is also not ranking for any keyword
