Keywords have not been ranked, based on expired domain names

I would like to ask about my new website based on expired domain names. The website went online on March 22. It has been online almost 4 months so far. The expired domain names have more than 150 different root domains. The backlinks, including some authoritative backlinks.

I have written 8 articles for my target keywords; at the same time, I bought some PBN, Guest post backlinks, niche edit backlinks (various matching anchors) for target keywords. At the same time, some page optimizations are also carried out for the pages of the target keywords. Corresponding internal backlinks construction has also been carried out. But so far my target keyword has not yet ranked.

On this basis, I established a subdivided men's clothing category website under Men's Clothing. I think there is no problem with the relevance. At the same time, the expired domain name has not been used in PBN history.

But currently my target keywords are not ranked, is the website still in the Sandbox?

For this situation, I really don’t know what the situation is? How to deal with it? Do I need to wait longer to enrich the content and backlinks?

Regards

No one can answer this as no one knows the keyword, the competition nor your backlink profile. You need to be stronger than your competitor in the eyes of google. There are many factor which you conclude them to one which is backlinks

So, in a nutshell build better backlinks than your competitor and hope for the best. BTW, 4 months are really nothing for google, they go with the saying don't fix what is not broken. So, they are taking it really slow when it comes to pushing something to the top.

Should I wait for a longer period of time to see, and at the same time, do some high-quality PBN link building? At the same time, increase the number of 100% accurate keyword anchor text PBN links?

Just check your competition profile through ahrefs, forget about DR, UR is the most important. It's calculated based on page backlinks and backlinks of the backlinks

If you mean by high quality PBN, orphan page on some domain with no backlinks built to it, then yeah, this not really high quality as it has no weight. As for keyword anchor it doesn't really has such effect compared to the weight of the backlink.

This is an e-commerce website. I just wrote 8 articles for the homepage of the ranking page, and set the anchor text internal link to the homepage in the article.

So either the site has been penalised in the past or you're buying crap ( I bought some PBN, Guest post backlinks, niche edit backlinks (various matching anchors) for target keywords. ) off page seo.

I checked the history of this expired domain name, it has been very clean and it has not been used for PBN or other spam sites.
Regarding PBN and guest post backlinks, I buy high-quality ones in the market. My other ecommerce sites purchases before also buy this kind of PBN and guest post backlinks, the effect is good, and the price is more expensive.
Niche edit links are some of the more well-known, high-traffic websites I contacted myself.
Therefore, for the quality of these links purchased, I think it is okay.
With the help of Ahrefs tool, the historical anchor of the expired domain name is also very clean and reasonable. Brand words and anchor URLs accounted for the largest proportion.
thanks

check your site in google with the "site:" operator and if only 4, or 7 results come up your site is fucked.

If other than 4 or 7 results come up then you are probably targeting keywords that are too competitive. I don't do ecommerce so I can't help you, but I know from others that ecom takes more and better of everything to rank than informational blogs.

After site:domain.com, the number displayed is 2130.
It is normal.
This is my fourth e-commerce website and the first one to be established based on expired domain names.
This is the difficulty index of my target keyword:

thanks

Just because Ahrefs says it's medium difficulty doesn't mean that it is. You need to manually look at the pages ranking in the top 5 spots and assess their quality and competitiveness individually.

Again, I don't do ecom so I don't know how much - if any - of this helps, but it's a good tutorial to watch nevertheless. It shows how the difficulty score can be misleading sometimes, and how to assess the real competition of your keywords. Give it a watch!

check the domain, if it's been used before as redirect or spammed

Check once GSC if any past manual penalty for this domain? Similar situation faced earlier.

Also sudden increase in the links also maybe the reason. I recommend to wait, e-commerce sites will definitely rank.
