Buy expired domains that will make sense linking back to your website. Why would you buy them in a variety of niches? Restore the old site, wait a couple months and then link out from one of the old articles OR publish a new article and drop your link there.

When you Have Multiple Links to the Same URL, Only the First one Counts
My question is:
If I buy an expired domain with CARS and my money website is with DOGS.
On domain with CARS its ok to drop articles with dogs and link my main money website ? Or I should write articles with cars and drop in text “you can drive with your car your DOG”

Let's say you are building 50 PBNs, for best results you want at least some of them to be about dogs, some can be other household pets like cats, some maybe animal shelters, or pet food etc.. be reasonable when you build PBNs. You can always find domains in your niche, it just takes more work and time. There are a lot of sellers on the forum who can help you out @Nargil @chameleon domains @AngelSeo are three that I can vouch for.
Other niches can work if you place the article strategically, but your link profile will appear unnatural if all you have is unrelated links. It is your call, to each their own. A lot of people build PBNs like that and get good results. Common sense tells me it is not a good strategy. It would make more sense if you build other types of links (niche edits/guest posts) from relevant blogs and then have PBNs that are unrelated. it's always a good idea to mix up your link types rather than hammer the site with only one type of link.

this is horrible advice, spam score is an absolute garbage metric. DA is good for filtering only, look at the backlink profile of the domain. If you see authority in the link profile go for the domain, regardless of the metrics.

Wow, I am shocked to see your SEO experience here. You are saying you can ignore the spam score cuz you had tons of backlinks to the old website but what when the spam score is high and google penalized your website and not open in any browser becoz of safety. congratulations your money goes to the garbage

Moz metrics DA and PA are somewhat useful (far from perfect), but the spam score is horribly calculated it is not an actual indication of spam. If you want to look for spam you have to analyze the backlink profile, anchors, hosting history. There is no other way. Some people use spamzilla, I am not sure how good that is but for Moz I can tell you from experience that it is useless.

Publish several articles on how to travel with dogs, interlink them and place a link to your dogs website.

I build money sites on old non dropped domains with hundreds of referring domains. However, spam score is not an actual indication of spam. I think you are pretty new to the game. But do as you pleaseYes buying old domains are usless.
if you want to rely on the worst moz metric please go ahead and do so.

When you mean restore. Is restoring the content keeping the same URL structure and diff theme ok? Or has to be 1:1 copy.
Have you had experience on doing a fresh wordpress install publishing content as posts and keeping same URL structure.? Do you need to backdate the post date?

You can change the theme and URL structure as well.
OLD - domain.com/category1/top-hotels-in-china
NEW - domain.com/best-chinese-hotels
you only have to worry about it being contextually relevant, the search intent has to be the same if the article is 1:1 then you are good. I do this with all my domains because previous URL structure is always weird like domain.com/121i231k21kkk.html, you don't want that.
Now when you do the restore you want to do page level 301 redirects from OLD URL > NEW URL, you have to do it for every single one of them wherever you changed the URL structure.

How long does it take for the site to be fully indexed by big G? Also does publish date matter? Do we have to backdate it to match the old sites publish date?
Asking cause i recently did buy a 10 year old domain on auction got it while it had traffic. And none of the restored pages are indexed yet. It has frozen on time. It ranked for 3 days and all gone to limbo.
Some say there can be another sandbox period which could take a few months again. Would love to hear from an expert on general wait time frame
Thank you!

There is crawl budget, so all pages are not going to get indexed right away, they will over time. You don't have to backdate anything.
