These are highly dangerous and you shouldn't buy domains like that because they can and will get blacklisted by Google and other search engines.
I totally agree!
Thanks for this.
Dang, i never thought about this. Should i go through my stack and get rid of these domains?
This is what i done, most in my stack now have been building topical history for 6 months to 1.5 years now from the casino content.
however, it should not be evaluated based on backlinks only. of course having no backlinks is already a good indicator but one should take into account the age of links, content nd other indicators of this domain. if the gamblling period was not long enough nd there were no spammy links, it may be worth trying.
yeah i definitely would consider checking the history of the domain before using it. even if there are good backlinks to it, its use as a casino in the past may mean that it is going to be a strange domain to use for an entirelly different niche.
I would test each one independently nd not attempt to tackle all of them simultaneously. I would begin by evaluating the current content, anchor texts, backlinks nd redirects; if those are okay, testing in a relevant market is valid, imo.
Indeed, I would still have tested each one individually. the importance of having the clean link profile cannot be overstated; however the history of the casinos might affect the switching of niche which means that a few months should be enough to collect the necessary data.
Precisely. The backlink profile, topical relevancy from the past, quality of links, and indexing would be looked at, rather than the former niche only.
