I am going to buy an old domain name to get a first position in google. I have read that the owner can keep the rank for the site when moving it to another by telling Google about it. So if he keeps the rank in the new domain name for this site, what will happen with the new site in old domain name? Is possible that Google won't positively consider the age of domain and old links anymore but just ignore it when WHOIS and the site content will be changed? Thank you
I have read about this extensively and believe that google will start you off with a clean slate. However, if the domain name is good, the content is good and there are strong links....maybe you can sustain it. I bought a domain name that was ranked #1 for a long tail keyword. There was no content on it, but I quickly added relevant content and I remain on the first page (but not in the first position). Hope this helps.
To keep the good position you must consider the content rather than domain age. Domain age me be little helpful but more thing depends on contents & proper SEO optimization.
The real question is will you be keeping the site, or ditching it so you can use the domain for another purpose? In fact, does the domain even HAVE a site associated with it?
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, Google ignores the domain transfer. Case in point, I bought an expired domain, had been expired for 2 months, still had three links pointing to it, I had it parked at sedo for a while as I had to finish another project. Google did it's pagerank update, I looked at my page, it had gained a higher SERP, and jumped from a PR0 to a PR3.
thanks for answers. You make me think if it is worst to spend 1000$ on this domain name. It was just because of links which are named exactly the same as my keyword and because of domain name age. But the content has nothing realated than same keyword with different meaning.
