Buying Dropped Domains

How risky is it to buy a dropped domain. Is it a high likelyhood that the PR will drop by the next PR update?

 

i would also like to know what can be done if it is blacklisted by google???

 

If the backlinks are stable for that domain, the PR wouldn't drop..

 

How do you check for solid backlinks!?

 

I have found that a PR 5 I am looking at has 5 backlinks....does this mean it will likely lose its PR 5 status?

 

There is a good article on how to make money from domains on that site. Read it up

 

buy a dropped domain, then check in the google cache and archives to find out what the domain was all about. then make a website similar to that, use the same meta tags to start with! that way chances are you will not lose the pr to soon! later on slowly make changes, and it will be fine!

 

I am going to make a wordcloud from my PR5 so it will not be similar to its former site. Do you feel this will result in it losing it PR 5 status?

 

Intuition Well established directories and sites: they tend to be quite solid and remain there for a long time compared to lower quality sites..

 

is there a tool that digs through deleted domains and finds domains with certain PR?

 

Theres an extension for firefox that checks the PR for every domain on TDNAM.com

 

The majority of dropped domains lose their PR with each update

 

Wouldn't it eventually pick it back up if the backlinks are there and you build content related to what it possibly could've been in the past?
