Never use a 301. It works for a while then gets devalued - all links wasted. Do the it the old way - permalinks.

What is so special about the domain if it has barely any links?
You normally buy expired domains if they have great backlinks or awesome content you want to use.

Better re-use the old content and make a new site, post some articles and put a backlink to your site.

Use redirects only if there is a change in the URL, 301 is not so bad, but it has to place them correctly. Just put backlink to your website.

I mean restoring the old content of the domain you purchased, from archive.org. Benefits: Save money, get free contents.
Restore the content with their old URLs => you'll get link juice

I don't see the point of buying a domain which doesn't have good backlinks thus it doesn't matter what you do as it will not add any value.

It depends what you want to achieve Giorgi. If SEO plays the role here, the domain is pretty much useless if it doesn't have any SEO power. Anyway, this domain is good for something else. You can use such aged domain for emailing. Aged domains tend to have higher email inbox rates.

Just make a 5 page site, with some outsourced articles. DOn't spend too much time on this. It's one backlink, and that's the only way you'll get the most from it, if by the sounds of it, its not that good.

if it is your domain it is up to you I think, making backlinks would be kind thing to do for the previous owners and new visitors, but anyway it is your domain now.

Permalinks, a permanent link on a web page.

so should i 301 redirect the purchased domain to a permalink on the money site?

 

[Kambaggo]

Would restoring a page from the Wayback machine be a good idea?

If yes, any suggestions for tools?
