Finding Inlinks For Pre-Owned Domains
By Vic on Apr 26, 2008 in Domains
I noticed a comment on one of the post made today that talked about inlinks for pre-owned domains and even though I am sick as a dog I felt I needed to get this clear for you folks right now so it does not cost you money. This video tutorial is really short and to be honest I do not know how bad did it come out as I could not watch it all because of a really bad headache I promise if it is horrible I will make another one as soon as I get better.

Great video Vic, even if you were sick. After watching it I’m sick. I was looking for a preowned domain a couple days ago and looked at e-netfinancial.com. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to do what you just taught me in the video. Had I known then, what I know now,I’d have bought it.
In other words, thanks for showing me what to do so I don’t miss a good deal next time I come across it.
Hope you are feeling better.
JOhn this is why I felt it was an emergency and I need to get you folks the info right now cuz in the close out bin at fresh drop is gold if you can spot some things. I hope you find some of them gems dear friend
Hi Vic,
First of all thank you for your work, You seem to be great man. But I am interested in one question regarding freshdrop tool. There is also a columm, that says “fake”. What does it mean? Should I buy domains also with Y as fake?
Thanks for answer. Best regards from Slovakia (Small country in the midlle Europe.
Michal the Fake is for the Page Rank if it is Fake or Real in this case since it was not even indexed I knew that it had no PR so it does not matter. Remember Michal age is more important then PR we can always get fast PR but age it is what it is
Vic man. The vid was perfect. You hovered over a pretty cool domain. I just bought it. Very cool.
LMAO Thanks yeah I saw actually two more that interested me but man as bad as I feel spending hours at freshdrop just did not sound to great
I just fell ill last night, myself. I completely lost my voice and had to take a sick day from work. I’ll tell you, phoning in with a botched voice is quite the mission, lol.
Gave me a chance to put up a few more BANS sites, though. BTW, did you get my email regarding BANS?
Question(s) about freshdrop…
How reliable is the ‘Fake Google Page Rank’ thing? It’s saying an awful lot are fake or suspicious.
And the estimated monthly traffic; is that reliable, or even important, as well?
Thanks and get better soon
John I verify rank visually in other words I want to see the links so to me it does not matter how reliable since I do a visual anyway stuff like traffic does it really matter? Remember you want to bring quality traffic anyway. Buddy I do not know if I did receive the BANS email can you shoot me another just in case.
Yeah, I realized that traffic was pretty irrelevant after I made that comment. NEhoo I figured I’d just send the basics of the email here, i hope that’s okay.
My question is primarily about the content on the page. They are typically the same on all of my BANS pages except for the boldened keywords and product examples at the bottom; is this something google will catch and punish me for? Here is and example…

Also, regarding the boldened text. I had a closer look at the BANS output code and it doesn’t use or for bold. Instead it uses a . Wouldn’t that completely eliminate any SEO benefits for bolding text?
Crap. Sorry Vic. I didn’t realize HTML was allowed in comments. That last paragraph was supposed to go something like….
Also, regarding the boldened text. I had a closer look at the BANS output code and it doesn’t use the ’strong’ or ‘bold’ tags for bold. Instead it uses the ’span’ and ’style’ elements to give it a font-weight:bold . Wouldn’t that completely eliminate any SEO benefits for bolding text?
No just make sure you minimize the footprint including changing the name of the template folder.
Another great tutorial. Thanks for everything your doing. I hope really hope you feel better soon.
Thank you Emma I hope these short tutorials keep growing you folks knowledge base I am still under the weather but nothing better then a laptop from bed LMAO!!!
Vic, You just amaze me with your depth of knowledge! This was a great tutorial! What an awesome Blog you have created. Thanks for all you do!! Brad
Thank you Brad I hope you find useful info that helps in your quest
Get well soon, Vic.
Age domains are great. I have no patience, so I love the instant traffic. I find SEO Elite is priceless for researching them, do you not use it for this?
I’ve picked up some really sweet domains, it’s well worth the extra few bucks. My latest is http://www.palestine-yellowpages.com 9 years old, PR3, a bunch of baclinks. But now I have no clue what to do with it. Any ideas?
SEO Elite is the best tool out there to research competition with pre-owned sometimes we have to do it like in the tutorial because both Yahoo and Google de-indexed the links and we have to manually search for them
Dude you have such a following that you could put a video up of you making a PB&J with ketchup and pickles and people would watch it with anticipation. Hell, if you told us to eat that type of sandwich because it makes you build BANS faster I’m sure some would.
Good explanation.
Much appreciated as always.
LMAO!!! Thanks Pierce man all I want is to try to provide you folks the best and real info as fast as possible so you can speed up the learning process and make money faster
No need to redo this, it was perfect. Short, concise to the point, what to look at and BAM buy a site.
Get well! I’d have to agree with your wife, this could have waited a day! Appreciated the video, but I’d rather have you alive and well.
Just got my tax return… Do I need to say more?
Thanks Wayne I am staying in bed with soup and big time oj so man I really look to shake this quickly
Vic,
Hope you are feeling better today. Build your strength back up. You have really over committed yourself for the month of May.
?s on pre-owned domains.
How long can you figure on getting these domains re-indexed?
And how can you find out why they are not indexed?
EX: Are they in bad graces with Google? Not sure that makes sense. Don’t quite know how to word it.
Denise,
If you buy a preowned domain, you can do a site:www.domainname.com (insert your domain name) into a google search and if it shows up, it is indexed. If nothing shows up, it is not.
As for getting them indexed, if it has any age to it and is not indexed, there could be a chance that is was google banned.
Not to worry though, use the Google webmaster tools, put your domain in, verify it and then ask for reinclusion. I have done this on several domains I have bought, even if it does show up, just to let google know that it is under new “management”.
As for getting your new content indexed, sometimes it can take a day or two, or up to two weeks. it just depends on what you are doing with the domain, keywords targeted, and if you get some good backlinks from high traffic sites.
This is where using BMD or just putting a couple of backlinks out there will help, especially with a preowned domain.
I have one domain I just bought a month ago that was a PR 3, financial sector, and I was getting trickle traffic on it from day one.
Thanks Elliot,
I have heard of others that have bought pre-owned domains and Google had banned those domains for whatever reason and it was a bear to get them back to index.
Some were still waiting six months later for re-inclusion.
The couple that I have bought that had no page rank, no pages indexed, no backlinks registered and were older than 1 year were reincluded pretty quick.
I used iwebtool.com to check them, as they offer a “Google banned checker”, but not sure how reliable it is. I think it also looks at if the domain is indexed and has backlinks pointing to it.
Elliott nice tool. Just Bookmarked it.
My bookmarks are getting so long I really get lost looking for stuff. I am going to have to reorganize this sometime. Yeah Right!
WOW! If you’re apologizing for this video, then I need not ever do a video.
Vic, I thought the Freshdrop tutorial was “stupid” excellent! There was so much value in it, I’ll have to play it over maybe 5, 6 or 7 times just to get it all. What you take for granted as being simple, is equivalent to post-graduate level information for guys like me.
Thanks for all you do, and I pray a speedy recovery for you. And your wife should be pissed…you do need to be in bed with a 101 degree fever.
Get your rest, we need you healthy & on point…besides, you’re funnier when you’re feeling good.
Thanks been sleeping most of day just woke up and came back to make sure I had checked all the comments I sure hope the vid gives you a better shot at some solid domains
I hope that you get better soon. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Josh
get well soon vic!!
I was hopping freshdrop would remain a secret for a little while longer. But thanxs to you i now know a little bit more. Thanxs for the fresh video
the age link tip is priceless. just bought five domains because of the 5 dollars off godaddy special which is quite cheap if you compare it to buying a new dot com or net. Elliot thanxs for the tool.
Even when you are sick, you do great tutorials.
Take care mate. Get well real soon.
Wow. Great information as always. Thanks and hope you are feeling better.
Right on spot! I was asking the same question and you made a video for it. Thanks man, we really appreciate all the help.

Vic if the links pointing to the website point to a subpage do we create that subpage again or use some sort of redirect ? Basically, what do we do after purchasing such a domain ?
If you can recreate the url structure do if you find an inlink you can always change the content.
Het Vic, I have been lurking for awhile, but this post answered a question I have had for awhile. Another question for you is how long does the preowned domain take to shoot up the serps? I am learning the hard way with some new domains since Nov and no luck. I am wondering if it is a couple weeks ?(I know it depends on other factors, but just a general idea)
From days to months depending on keyword selection.
Another Question Vic (Maybe I am overthinking things) But if we get an old domain, and they have tons of unrelated links pointing to it….what are the pros and cons?
overthinking
Hope you are feeling better : don’t need to apologize for the quality of the video though! You remind me of some of my older college lecturers back in the old days (25 years ago and they had been lecturing since the 50’s then) – they just talked, it was a bitch to keep up, in the days before rewind buttons – but you actually felt you were learning shit. Now with the whole structured courses the lecturers have to describe how they are going to cover the syllabus before the start of term: it makes for really boring repeatable, average education. Thank you for being a real teacher!
My hope is to get all you folks rolling with the correct information and increase your chances at succeeding in what we do. Bless you for such kind words
Fantastic tutorial, this is perfect for me as I’ve just started experimenting with domain names.
Thx again.
Vic, Thanks for the great video on freshdrop! I didn’t realize how easy it was to buy an expired domain.
Two questions though, one, do you know how long it takes to transfer the domain to my Godaddy account?
And two, in your experience, how often does the domain owner comeback and re-register after you purchase the domain thru TDNAM?
-Howard
GoDaddy does give you the disclosure up to now not one of my domains has the owner re-register it but be aware that it does happen. Transfer usually is a few days if you go in your auction account you will actually see the transfer date.
Hey man so get this. Recently my brother and I buy 6 domains on sitepoint – 3 pr3s and 3 0s, but they’re aged and in the index.
Then this PR updage is happening and the 3s go to 1s. Oops! We’re not concerned though because they’re all indexed and aged and by next update we’ll have them at PR 4/5 no problem.
Great tutorial man. Killing it as usual.
- Mark
Mark when I buy a domin for PR reasons I do a backlink check and track the PR links then I also backtrack those links also to make sure they are solid and I can predict what will happen in the next PR toolbar update. But overall my main thing is to buy old old domains PR is easy but age it is what it is
I’ve got my eyes on an aged domain for a new BANS. It’s got 3 days left on the auction. It’s indexed and leads to an actual site. I can’t believe that it doesn’t have a PR but is 4 years old…
I’ll debate for the next 2 days if I’m gonna buy it or not
Vic, btw, I have a link building question…
How do I trade links when building BANS? Most people are willing to trade links, but rarely allow one-way links. Build a links content page or something?
Good tutorial, Vic. I watched three times and took notes. It answered all my questions.
A note to newbies like me: join TDNAM at GoDaddy for 4.99 a year, then start buying at Freshdrop.
Nice Tutorial. I’m just interested, I saw the blog you put up for the website you bought. What are you planning to do with that site? Didn’t see any monetization on it.
[...] Vic made a video about buying pre-owned using Freshdrop. The audio is low on that [...]
Vic,
I read in optempo frank site, he says if site is not indexed in Google, it is like buying new domain. Is this correct and please clarify.
thanks.
I know this is an old post, but I have just started to get some of this and knew I’d want to revisit it sooner or later. Thanks to this post I found a sweet 10 year old domain with tons of links.
Now what to do with it?
