Expiring Domains by Content
-
I use sites such as expireddomains.com and Snap Name sin searching for expired domains. All these sites let you do a keyword search based on the domain name, but does anyone know a site that lets you search by the CONTENT of the site rather than just the name?
Thanks,
Kevin

I was going to add wayback machine too but it's really about metrics. If you can find a few PR 2 and PR3 sites that have good anchor text, you'll be able to solve the problem. Digging through thousands of domains doesn't seem worth the time for one link to your site. I'm sure someone could build a tool that would take a cached version of the site and give it a category but actual text would be hard because of the variations of sites. If they have a homepage blog then that info could very. For example, what is the Wall Street Journal about? It's news but if a tool pulled the content it could be considered politics or weather or something else that is going on the world.
Just wondering, what is the purpose of buying expired domains? What do you use them for?

Thanks for the input. The content of the site could be pulled from the Wayback Machine or perhaps even from the text based links pointing to the domain. I am sure there are expiring domains with excellent content that have no relation to the domain name. I just have never seen a way to search by content and not just by name. Seems like it would be a good niche form someone. I would pay for that service myself.

If you are looking at expired domains there won't be any content on the site. I don't know of any tool that does that.
With a little bit of work you can do this by searching by keyword and then dropping the url into Open Site Explorer and see it's anchor text profile to see what the content is about.
Registercompass.org is awesome for finding expired domains. You can search by tons of criteria including domain authority, trust flow, PageRank etc. Once you find a set of domains, you can go through the link profile to see how it looks. It takes some time but I buy a couple PR 2 and 3 domains a month this way.

Big drop in Domain authority : Languages school in Brazil
Hi, I notice today strange update on the DA of our website and competitors website as well. caminhoslanguages.com (our website) : drop from 26 to 19 bridgebrazil.com : drop from 29 to 26 rioandlearn.com : drop from 19 to 14 carioca-languages.com : drop from 22 to 15 DA drop affect all website, but bridgebrazil.com less than the other. bridgebrazil is close now. the website is rank first, but it is a business that no longer exist. thay rank first, only because it belong to an international company that have other languages schools in different countries, providing them a huge based of links high DA. Sorry to tell you, with this new update you totally miss the point. In which sense does the DA represent the quality of the websites ?? Is it not fair for small school, trying hard to get excelent website to get penalized like this, because it is really hard for them to get link from very high PA pages you know ? Could somebody give explication? If you would like to improve your algorithms, I would suggest to reduce the values of the links from companies internal linking. Because it provide unfair advantage for small business.

History of Page or Domain Authority...how?
Hi everyone, is there a way (tools) to see the "history" of any given website in terms of Page or Domain Authority? Like if I went to Alexa and typed in www.angieslist.com it tells me the site ranks #**2,691 **Globally and #670 in the USA. But, is there a way to see how the rank has gone up over time, or where it was a year, two or more ago? Thanks

SEO Strategy Questions on an International Domain
I'm going to try not to get too wordy with my question. Any help that could be provided would be much appreciated! We recently purchased a Germany-based company. They were using two domains (possibly more) for their website. Domain1 and Domain2. I'm sure for duplicate content reasons, only Domain1 ranked well. We in the US wanted to use Domain2, as it contains the brand name and would add legitimacy to our website in the US. Problem is that they also wanted to use it in Germany. So we split it using GeoDNS. Any international traffic goes to their server. Any US/Canada traffic goes to ours. From what I've read, we in the US should have the advantage here in terms of getting our pages indexed on Google, because Google will crawl from the US. So to Google, it should be as if we've changed all of our URLs. The problem is that Google has not recognized these changes for our homepage and it has been about a month since I submitted a sitemap and changed our geo-targeting to the US in Webmaster tools. They've picked up other pages of ours, but the Title and Meta descriptions for the homepage are in German still. We also rank about 23rd for our own brand name. Bing and Yahoo have picked up the changes without issue and we rank 2nd for our brand name. My other issue is that the old distributor in the US (whom we have replaced) is ranking first for our brand name. I'm working on increasing our inbound links, but is there anything else I could be doing to jump ahead of them in the rankings? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
