Hi guys,

I'm new to expired domains and SEO in general for that matter, I have read a few articles on SEO and thats about it.
I plan on dropshipping so starting ecommerce with a niche I've had in mind for weeks.
I found a .com domain on expireddomains.net and checked it on moz, it came back with the following:-

DA - 40
PA - 27
Moz Rank - 2.7

I compared around 100 domains which were available and this was the best, but I still don't know if them statistics are good? <-- My first question.
Second is, should I base my branding and entire store around this domain, or sould I use this domain to redirect to my main store??

Again I apologise for these noob questions, but I really would like some advice before I begin.

Thanks.

Check the domain Anchors in Ahrefs and Majestic. Check the domain history in archive.org -> I am 99% sure that is spammed to death..

Not registered to ahrefs or majestic, domain history shows the niche product being sold in 2011-2013 then 301 redirected 2016-2017.

What was it 301'd to?

Another website in my niche which appeared to be selling fakes of some sort. Would this be why no one snapped this domain up? I assume its worthless, the website it redirected to appears to have been taken down and a notice served.

Too late, I've bought it. Lol.
Guess I'll just not do anything with it, I only paid $1 so haven't lost much.
Thanks, just out of curiosity, as the domain is now in my name, surely that must mean they know its a new registrar so nothing bad should come my way right?

Please check this domain previous history from archive.org if you found any porn or gambling history previously then avoid the domain. You also need to check the spam score and back link details if you found to many link from china language site avoid the domain.
