    Hey just a quick question .. whats up with dropped domain names? Are they bad in anyway? like I want to register a .com domain name, but the domain name already has a history on archive.org .. so I'm debating whether I should register it or not.

    Help anyone?

    Thanks in advanced,
    Jason

    I don't think so But i would still prefer the ones which was never dropped .
    domain can get dropped by various reason if it was a normal drop then its okay as far as i know

    Usually people "give" up on websites and domain names and let them expire. Even if it was banned you can submit a re-inclusion request to get it back in the index.

    I registered a dropped domain once, accidentally. I started my website with unique content, backlinks... Then I just waited and waited for the traffic... Sandboxed for 6 months... Later it straightened out, but I'd say stay away from dropped domains.
