so whats your take on this? Great backlink profile and no spam, ut it was used as a pbn. Does this work for a money website?
 
There's a reason why the previous owner dropped the domain if it's still any good. The cost of obtaining a new domain (scraping and checking) is much higher than to maintain it so the domain has most likely been penalized/abused to death before the owner really had to let it go. I own a network so we go through this process all the time.
 
if its not too expensive you can try i.e. if you use it as an affiliate site to promote something. the worst that can happen is that it doesnt work, but it could.
maybe the previous owner forgot to renew it or couldnt at this time. there could be a ton of reasons why it wasnt renewed, doesnt have to be highly penalized.
besides if the owner changes google might drop penalties.
 
Yeah. I just dropped a blogpost on it and see if it's in the SERP after a few days and where
 
I swapped one of my domains I'd got as a PBN over to a money site in the same niche and it worked a charm. If it's a public one someone has dropped I probably wouldn't bother but worse case you're risking a few bucks. Just don't put too much time into it.

Do you think?

Can't see a reason they'd leave link juice working and drop penalties. Seems like it would be an all or nothing deal.

thats good, just try things yourself, thats always best as to be honest when you ask here a lot of people will reply with stuff they guess but never really tried.
a spammy backlink profile can work well, but people assume it won't work automatically, but never tried themselfs.
then you have the same people posting threads like "my competitor is outranking me and i have only quality links, he just got spammy links, why?" lol

sure, you can always send an appeal saying you are the new owner blah blah. a domain is never forever banned :)
 
Ok. It seems that it worked. Im at position 97, without any technical or onpage seo. It's filled with scientific publications, healthline, mayoclinic, etc. Probably the hardest niche to get your foot between the door of G.

Going to to do kw reasearch and place a review kind or article, optimize everything and see what happens.

Thanks guys!
