Money making opportunity?

[www.optimalwebsite.co.uk]

Just a thought, but as Google and others value a website much more if its old, and new sites even if professionally SEO'd can still struggle in the rankings, .... there are a great many examples of old websites with very high page ranking doing nothing online. Has anyone ever considered somehow sourcing the old defunct high page rank sites for new companies? Large no of companies go bust each year and their website could easily be bought and their content replaced.


Any thoughts on this?

Take care,

Hi, this is common place these days and I have got a good few PR 5 - 6 domains with 1st page google results for $6 each.

There are companies who charge around $100 a month to get you on a register you still need to do your research as a lot of domains are parts of linkfarms which have high PR but no traffic

Another thing I suggest you do is look for the domain on the "way back machine" and look to see if it was a casino or porn site in the past.

The last thing to do is make sure its not a "drop" domain used by cloakers to "stuff" content and abuse search engine rankings. Most of these domains contain relevent keywords but make no sense I.e

cheap-casino-chips-1.com <EXAMPLE>

you should also contact google and see if the domain is blacklisted against things like Adsense (if you plan to use it)
