I start to try selling aged domains, but people are still more interested for PR domains… Is there any good way to calculate the aged domain pricing?

Does anyone know where I might find of a list of available aged domains, listed in alphabetic order?

I use this free tool to find aged domains.

It’s a no brainer. Simply search for the domain you want using keyword(s) and then click “get pagerank and age” and it does just that.

So easy!

Great article by the way, we need to help more people get aged domains and use them as they just do not have sandbox problems in my experience.

By the way the guy you asked if you can buy +4 PR domains and link to your website and does it work!

Oh yeah! It sure does.

Cheers

This is something I am starting to look into – just because of the initial boost it can give you – right now anything is helpful!

it is just such a minefield – I am using a website to check out aged domains and they just seem to come with so many potential issues – made even worse if they could be costing you a bit of money!

Still nothing online is easy! – thats kind of what makes it fun

This post is so insightful. Could you do another segment on this issue. Specifically, I am searching the web for info on

1)SUBJECT MATTER – Whether or not the SUBJECT MATTER of the aged domain has to match that of the new domain to reap the seo benefits

2) QUALITY VS. QUANTITY OF LINKS – ARe 2 .edu or .gov links worth 20 low authority links

3) PageRank vs TrustRank – What are the different factors that may be involved in judging both and how do you use them when buying

4) Can you simply purchase domains with say +4 PR and link these domains to your new domains. Will that pass on PR and get your new domain ranking quickly? (that’s if you don’t put the new content on the old domain)

Thanks, looking forward to anyone’s thoughts on this!

Is there someplace online where you can check to see if a domain has been banned?

Thanks

Great posts. I got a lot of ideas from this one, the Digg Power User, and the Affiliate Links post.

I have heard most of the standard ideas, but you have some pretty original ones here. I’ll try them and see if I have any luck.

Thanks!

I put a link from two very strong homepages (each about 2 years old with tons of quality backlinks) to a new domain and it started ranking well almost immediately for cool terms. Maybe its simply a question of link trust and age.

I was able to get a new domain indexed within a week. I don’t know if this helped but the day I went live I started an aggressive PPC campaign for my keywords. My site was indexed two days later, although none of my targeted keywords ranked in Googles top 1000. I started a precise SEO campaign at the same time. A week later they started coming in at the 600-700 area. Then a jump to 150’s, then 60’s. It’s been 69 days since I went live and I’ve got them down to 10-30’s.

Hi, thanks for the info, one question what if the domain was first registered a number of years ago but it has since been deleted and returned to the registry. Does this man it loses whatever age related bonus it has? It exists in wayback machine from 2004.

Indeed, just that I am curious about those high PR expired domains, parked to a reseller that lose the PR once they are rebuilt. Any advice in this direction?

dangerous marketplace out there for domains at the moment

By: Rian

Ive never bought an aged domain, but I would look at a few things.

1) I would look at the type (.com, .net, .info, etc)
2) I would check the domains page rank and alexa ratings.
3) I would check its backlinks, not just for quantity, but for quality links from authority sites. Specifically, I’d want a domain that had one-way links coming from sites like squidoo, ezinearticles, usafreeads, etc. Google plays favorites with these sites.
4) I’d try to match the domain name’s “name” to the keywords I was going to bid on. So if I was promoting a golf ebook, I’d want the world golf in the domain name itself.
5) i wouldnt pay too much for a promotion domain. if it was a long term site, perhaps but they can get expensive.

Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Nice tips; I think I’ve being keeping my eyes out for domains with most of these attributes, but you’ve gone into more, good detail here.

I have 2 questions: 1) Like eagles325, I want to know how I check if a domain is banned, and 2) why pre-2000 for age? why not simply 2+ or 5+ years?

Thanks.

What is the easiest way to check if a domain is banned?

Thanks for pointing out another way to look at purchasing domains. I like buying already registered domains. One of the things I look for is backlinks. I’ll start checking out the age now too.

Actually it does not matter if the domain is banned.. As long as you take over and make sure that your new site is conforming to the Webmaster Guidelines, Google will always resurrect your domain after you submit a reinclusion request.

I bought a banned domain several months ago and the domain is unbanned by Google. The domain now enjoys its age bonus =)
