What about re-life expired domain ?
-
I want to know about your advice to re-life expired domain, assume PA:55 how I get benefits from it, when I use it for new related content.
-
I personally have done with with floridagunclassifieds.com i immediately saw the benefits from it. My key words were all in the domain. The expired domain was around since 2001 so I got the benefit of having an already indexed domain from google. It took about 4-6 months off my SEO time table by using the expired domain and building it up. I am now #3 in florida for my keyword and quickly climbing the rankings.. Go ahead and use the new domain!

Abu,
The whole point of buying expired domains with high authority is to piggy-back off the previous owner's SEO success. You are buying a domain that has already established links and a reputation online. Whether you redirect the domain or decide to build up the site, the idea is that you aren't starting from scratch. It can be beneficial both short term and long term, depending on the link profiles. Like Ryan said, your success is going to be dependent upon what you put into the site. If you build a quality website then the existing site authority will help you out. If you are unable to build a quality site--then the existing authority won't do much. Best of luck.

If the domain was recently expired, you might see some short term success, but long term success will be dependent on what you put into it after launch.
-
So where are the benefits of it? , Will I get results in short time or long time like another new domains?
-
I see. Yes, I'd plan on it being like a new website when adding content and building out the site.
-
OK thank you for your respond, but I don't want to redirect that domain, I want to rebuild that domain with new content, with easy competition keyword , Shall I deal with it like new website when I build backlinks
-
Ok. If you decide that you're going to buy the domain, once you do use a 301 redirect to send all former links and references from it to your present domain. Here a guide on that: http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection.

I think it has't a spammy link profile, with good insight, but not related to my new content, explain more please for me
-
There might be some, but if the domain is off brand and not a name you want to use, you're probably better off universally redirecting it to your present domain. It's important to investigate the history of the domain though. Is it associated with Spam? Either as a source of spam email or a spammy link profile? Try to get as much insight in that regard as you can.

Spammers created bad links to old hacked domain, now redirected to our new domain. Advice?
My client had an old site hacked (let's call it "myolddomain.com") and the hackers created many links in other hacked sites with links such as http://myolddomain.com/styless.asp?jordan-12-taxi-kids-cheap-T8927.html The old myolddomain.com site was redirected to a different new site since then, but we still see over a thousand spam links showing up in the new site's Search Console 404 crawl errors report. Also, using the links: operator in google search, we see many results of spam links. Should we be worried about these bad links pointing to our old site and redirecting to 404s on the new site? What is the best recommendation to clean them up? Ignore? 410s? Other? I'm seeing conflicting advice out there. The old site is hosted by the client's previous web developer who doesn't want to clean anything up on their end without an ongoing hosting contract. So beyond turning redirects on or off, the client doesn't want to pay for any additional hosting. So we don't have much control over anything related to "myolddomain.com". 😞 Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Multiple domains on the same hosting
Hello, I have around 80 sites (different domains) which are on the same host. Everytime I look up the IP of these domains, it gives me the same IP. The sites are interlinked, all linking to the main domain. My question is: Does the off site link building have effect on the 80 sites?
