How does one know a good and strong domain?

 

[Nut-Nights]

Please elaborate your question, you want to know about domains for parking or in general expired domains for site?

 

[jukimano]

For what you need this domain first? For your site or to resell then you may choose different things. Is good if you find an domain with good metrics like DA as general rule

If you're going to buy a expired one

Look up at the past usage of the domain and their backlink profile

If I want to start an online business, what should I consider when choosing a domain? Then, if I want to resell the domain I bought, what should I do?

For what you need this domain first? For your site or to resell then you may choose different things. Is good if you find an domain with good metrics like DA as general rule

Yes, I have read several references, for domains there are DR and DA, but I don't really understand the DR and DA scores.

Imo you should look for the DA score, if it's above 10 the domain is good and strong, also look at the spam score

Hi okedomain,

A strong domain usually answers three quiet questions at once: is it easy to remember, easy to trust, and easy for a buyer to use without explanation.

The best names don’t need hype or trends to justify themselves. They fit naturally into a real business context.

Use tools like semrush and ahrefs to check the domain authority

 

[Quentin_Harlech]

Look for a clean, relevant backlink profile with links from reputable, topical sites, not spammy directories. Check its history (no penalties, consistent niche) and authority metrics (like Domain Rating, not just DA) that correlate with actual ranking power. A strong domain has sustainable traffic potential in its niche, not just high metrics.

pick a niche so people can answer SEO/EMD/Category Killer/etc..

 

[bobblack225]

Backlinks, DA, and similar metrics. Just get semrush (or a similar tool) and it’ll do the work for you for the most part with its scoring.

 

[Kostiantyn Malinovskyi]

The biggest thing to look at is do follow backlinks, not just the number, but the quality. The best domains have links from .gov/.edu sites. Second, check the topic history in Wayback Machine. Clean, consistent niches like nonprofits, schools, city sites, magazines, labs, or organizations are great, avoid spammy ones Finally, traffic history is a bonus: the more recent the traffic, the better, avoid sudden drops.

Sounds like you're interested in domain investing cos you mentioned buying and reselling. Check for any Google penalties, if there are any penalties, then the websites the domain has powered in the past. Finally, does the domain pass the radio test?
