Hello BHW!
I would like to build a website in a certain niche and I have found a very appealing domain name made of the niche + popular suffix (similar to "best" or "top") that is available for sale on GoDaddy. The domain has already been used in the past. I made a little check on http://web.archive.org/. It was created in 2010 and the last snapshot of in mid-2013. After that, the owner probably didn't renew it.
The website looked legit, the owner seemed to be a passionate. The website also had a store (amazon affiliate) and a fan club. Until there, everything seemed ok.
Then I had a look on ahrefs to see if there is still any backlinks. I saw that it has 1 backlink that is coming from an online casino page filled with erotic video chat pictures.
My questions are: Can I use the domain name safely to build my website? Can this unique backlink have a negative impact?
