Expired domain name question.

Hi mates.

Came across an expired domain name on expireddomains.net that has been redirected to another domain name. Would like to know if I can register the domain name. I intend using it on my money site. Thanks.

No, You can't Register a Domain which Redirected to Another Domain. Because 99.99% Chances that It's registered domain.

Thanks buddy.

@ SiddharthW and other mates.

Just did a check now and the redirected domain name is available for registration. Should I go ahead and register an expired domain name that has been redirected to another domain

Why not?
If that domain does not contain any trademarks - you won't have any trouble by doing that.

But from SEO perspective you should look precisely for how long did that domain was redirected to another one?

For our own and clients projects we never buy domains that redirected to another sites for 6+ months.

Because Google has half a year to understand that this website is basically 'dead' and that it transmits all it's value to another domain.

Yes, you still will have a domain with a bunch of links. But it isn't likely to pass the value. It simply can't work like that.

We made several tests and saw zero results from such sites...
