Hi,
I recently bought an expired domain. It has a clean link profile, only 100 RD’s but a lot of big authority sites in the mix.
The site was active from 2013 to 2017 and had 5,000+ keywords in top 100 the day it dropped. It doesnt appear to have been used since 2017.
I started rebuilding the website around 3 weeks ago.
I initially had problems getting the site index. I’ve worked with a lot of domains before but always fresh and never expired. Never had this issue with indexing before. Anyway the site was finally fully indexed around 1 week ago.
I’ve around built 30 pages. 5 from the old website and 25 fresh and the 25 are all in the same topic. The fresh pages are all for 0 Keyword Difficulty terms. Where there isn’t even 100 results for them, super super low competition.
But the site isn’t ranking for any of them at all yet. Getting around 10 impressions a day. Is it normal for their to be this big of a delay before the site starts to take rankings on expired domains?
I know if this was to be a fresh domain with 0 backlinks it would be getting way more impressions.
Just as an fyi, the topic of the old site is exactly the same as the new site. And the reason i have not fully rebuilt all pages is because many are outdated and wouldnt get traffic (the niche is gaming). The pages i have rebuilt are the ones where the majority of the backlinks are pointed too.
Many thanks
