Dropped Domain Name (which I guess was a porn site)

    Hello,

    I registered the domain name 16een.com (which was dropped several times) from godaddy directly (without backorder) to start a lifestyle blog. But when I checked the Google index I see some porn in results... So most probably it was either enganged in Spam or was a Porn site.

    See http://www.google.com/search?q="13een.com"

    So should I go for that?

    Matt Cutts on Webmaster Videos once said that if a domain was engaged in spamming before then it may affect its credibility in future.. even after its registrant is changed..

    http://www.16een.com has been crawled 2 times (by WayBackMachine) going all the way back to June 7, 2007. And I see two captures in 2007 http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.16een.com but its not showing anything....

    What do you say?

    UPDATE: Here is the Matt Cutts video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKDlEKnT1Ko [Can a purchased domain's history affect its trust in Google?]

    Don't buy this domain. It will hurt your site.
