Tricks in Re-using Expired Domain

Pam Danny · Jul 21, 2020

I got this expired domain. The DR is 7 with 186,575 backlinks (according to Ahrefs)
But there is a page inside of it that the DR is 34 and UR is 48 with 191 backlinks. The page URL is like this - http://www.domain.com/forum/index.php/topic,123456.new.html

I want to know if I should build the PBN and use this particular page as the main page and how to achieve this. considering the .HTML is not wordpress

aaand that will make sure that the visitor is wasted. The visitor came to that page for some kind of information. If you redirect the visitor to your home page, (s)he gets nothing; and leaves. Your bounce rate increases...

If I had the domain, I will try to figure out what that page used to be (archive.org can help on that) and rewrite the content. It can be a different URL by the way, but I would make sure to redirect the user to that URL; and not the home page.

We are not in same niche. Totally different niche from the domain. I bought it because it has high DR and high backlinks, not because of traffic because its totally different niche

Well, then you don't have a choice...

Isn't this a waste of traffic?
Can't you exploit this and make a deal with someone in the niche?
A youtuber in the niche that does not have a blog yet?
Or a blogger that would be interested in traffic?

If you're using Wordpress, then you can set up a new page, copy the content from archive.org to that page, then setup a redirect from the old URL to your new page using a plugin like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/eps-301-redirects/

The site he has is in a totally different niche. So... I don't think it will make any sense to repost the content. Redirecting to home page is the only choice I guess.

Man refer to OP, he/she asking for PBN
So the best choice is redirecting all page nor copy all data and rebuild

Have you checked backlink profile?

186,575 links are too much.

And how is that root domain DR is 7 and page DR is 34.

Dr should be consistent.

Not all sites can be found on archive

Agreed. Those will be hard to recreate, or even write a new article about (especially if the url structure doesn't tell you anything about the subject, like in OP).
