    Hi guys!
    This is my first post on DP.
    I have bought an expired domain name basoc2012.org
    It have pr 5 and many important backlink. The name is horrible...no brandable.
    I don't know how to use this domain!
    I'm thinking about a mini-site seo related...with adsense and link selling.
    What do you think? Any good idea?
    Thank you so much

    Sell it to me for $5 ;)

    I'm no expert but I would have thought you could get some reasonable $'s for the links.

    Try a conspiracy site, maybe with a touch of humor. May go with the following motto:

    "Why basoc2012? Because teh government didn't allow us to name it basoc2011" (the misspeling is intentional).

    Well... At least it's an idea.

    Regards, George

    If there is a context associated with those backlinks then to maximize the value of them your site needs to be of a like nature.


    If not, looking at the name and the .org, I am seeing possible site names:

    ba society (match the ba)
    ba soccer
    basic operations center
    b association
    b associates

    Of course it would be nice to give the 2012 some revelence also.

    Hope I at least got you to thinking. Best thinking occurs under a tree with no computer.

    One may even hit me later.

    Maybe, just maybe, the name is worthless.

    If you can't figure out what the site was previously used for (hint:archive.org), or what the previous links to the site were (just Google "link popularity check")... then it's hopeless.

    Now, if it turns out that this (seemingly) hopeless domain has a history of high traffic and good links, you may be able to salvage something here, but it'll take some work.

    I wouldn't count on it, and I would chalk it up to a learning experience.

    It will be even more worthless after 2012, and that's one good reason to steer clear of year-based domain names as a long-term investment. Fortunately, you have a few years to figure out the best use for it.

    You mean the directories in my signature? No , they aren't mine.

    However I do own two directories :D.

    Yes it will be a great business as long as people will pay to buy links.

    I like the directory idea or just make something up and tell a fake story about it and publish news updates pertaining to this fake event.

    Make it a prediction site for the year 2012?

    Some New Age types think the world will end (in one way or another) in 2012. Maybe play on that.
