Affiliate Site Advice Needed

Hey Guys,

So i'm starting a health niche blog and i've spent the week looking for a non-spammed to crap expired or auction domain with a suitable name. Long story short, I can't find anything.

I did, however, find 2 really strong, un-relevant domains with a very non-specific anchor text profiles. All of the links are the name of the site/ brand. I was thinking about two ideas and I need feedback to see if they are just stupid or not.

1) Build the site on it anyway.
2) Buy a relevant domain name to the health niche and just redirect the decent domain to it.
3) Build the site on it anyway, whilst looking for an expired/ auction health site and re-direct it all later.

I just want to get on with the project, but I don't think I have the right domain.
This could take months to find at this rate.

Are you looking only for .com domains?

Ideally yes, but I wasn't too fussed i'm looking for legitimate health/ beauty/fashion blogs.

The option 2 seems better.

There's nothing wrong with using these direct, as long as the previous sites were a million miles away from your niche.

If they were about stell production, then as health they'd raise a concern for me.
If they could somehow be a very broadly connected niche, maybe rejig a couple of the old articles etc, then it could work.

If the domain name/ BL profiles is way more far from your current health niche I wouldn’t advice you start building your page on such domain . This could take you longer than expected.

This is a good option - Relevancy matters alot and for me I’ll all things to set relevancy first .

Well one is an old restaurant group/ entertainment establishment and the other was an online educational video site, hmmm.
At a stretch, I could have food/ recreation flow from the former. Struggling with the latter though.

Well finding an affordable, niche relevant, brandable, high metric (see where I am going?), domain is... tough. You can wait months until something like that appears.

If you have a domain that isn't 180 degrees off from your actual niche and has mostly brand/URL anchors, I would use it.
