You are doing something very wrong. Using these domains as money sites isn't just taking the first domain you see that has a "nice DA number", putting 5 badly written articles there in a different niche and expecting to rank first.
There are exceptions to everything, but let's keep those out of this post. So what you should do is:
- You find a domain. You check everything, absolutely everything to make sure it's as clean as possible. Archive, Domaintools, Hosterstats, anchors, historic anchors, Ahrefs, Majestic, backlinks, referring domains, your local magical oracle, EVERYTHING.
No "Found this amazing domain, it has a bit of japanese spam there, but otherwise it's great!" - Fuck no. No. NO!
- You base your niche on your domain. You don't go searching the forums for "how to pick a niche" and coming up with idiotic threads from 2012 telling you to "pick a niche you are passionate about". No.
You do that and you will be exactly like every other newbie on this forum looking for "pets" domain, because you had a cat when you were 6 and you might actually know how to clean the cat litter without throwing up. Just no.
You simply won't pick a niche and then go desperately looking for domain, taking whatever crap that's available. You want gaming domain? Clean? Good metrics? Decent price? You might as well wait a year until you get something like that.
Bottom line - Find a nice domain, base your niche on its past content. Make sure it's as close as possible.
- Forget about low end domains. You want this to work? You take all your money, then either ask your grandma nicely, or rob her if you have to, but don't expect to rank anything with $100 - $150 domain.
I have plenty people asking me for domains in $200 range for money site. Really rather spend that on a nice dinner. Take your girlfriend or mom out, have a nice time, make some lovely memories. But $200 won't get you anywhere.
In addition, considering that you haven't even bothered to check the history properly, you are spending $200 on a domain that you will never rank, because it's spammed to death.
Without mid 4 figure budget, don't even bother learning SEO. Maybe 1% of people who actually try to make money with a couple hundred bucks manages to succeed. But it won't be you.
- So now we have a domain and a niche. What you do, is you google "Archivarix" and you restore it. You get a nice proper VPS hosting and you let that domain do fuckall for a few months. Nothing, just let it sit.
Make sure all the old URLs with backlinks pointing to them are restored.
- Once that is done, you can start uploading content, interlinking and adjusting and redirecting the old URLs.
This is a decent thread on the problematics that I would advise to read -
