Shall I Take It?

hkhkhkhkhk123 · Jul 23, 2021

Fellows,
Good day!

I found an expired domain, and I believed all is well until..it was related to healthy product promotion, and the content was in Japanese. (circled in Red where it began to spam..)

But except that I think all is fine. Anchors seem natural, and most importantly, it got a backlink from wikipedia.org.
Shall I take it anyway? Or do I need to walk away from it? Reasons.

I sincerely thank those who give their honest opinions.

The spam is right at the end, meaning that google probably still has a record of it being spam. You can find backlinks from wikipedia sold here for $70 and below. Don't waste your money on a spam domain to save up onf $70 because you might waste a lot of time with a website that starts with a great disadvantage.

Where can I buy a backlink from wiki for $70?

Thank you, bro. Happy weekend.

Don't use domains that have had Japanese spam before. It doesn't end well.

It's dead forever. That's exactly the red flag you look for in a domain's history. Health products in some Asian language.

thanks. I found another domain with no bad history before but some anchors in different language (Arabic) but it was totally mentioning the same niche.
Is it worth of trying?

Donno what you're trying to do. Expired domains are unpredictable, some yield enormous success, others just flunk.

I do know there are risks. I just don't want to start out from a blank paper and see results in half a year.

You'd be lucky to see results in half a year with an expired domain.

Seems that you are trying to rush things out.
Patience is paramount on site building.
Rather buy a really good expired and expensive domain from a reputed seller or build up from a fresh one.

A reputed seller, you know a few don't you. If you do, please let me know.
I am tired of starting a fresh one. It is 2021 now. Too much competition on the way.

If I were you, I wouldn't take it. The website with the doubtful history and Japanese spam doesn't look like a good deal for me. Many problems may accur which may take lots of money to be solved.

I am afraid benefits to expired domains are overrated.

Check the BHW marketplace or any SEO marketplace really. They are all over.

Is a wiki backlink a strong one?

They were good before search engines themselves began to sell domains. They now know which domains expired or changed hands, so they adjust accordingly.

It's nofollow so has much lower value. I'd keep searching. SpamZilla is a good tool for this.

Unlike some of the others in this thread, I'm a big believer in expired domains. Way easier to rank than a fresh domain. I bought a domain this week with some excellent links for $1200. The way I see it, $1200 is a small price to pay for the $10,000+ in links it has. Will save me a lot of time and money as I build it out. I struggle to rank fresh domains in anything under 6 months but can rank expired domains very quickly so I don't even bother with fresh domains.
