Hi, Does anyone know what Google's policies are about recycled domains with a PR rating? Will they get re-indexed by just having a link from another website? How is the PR rating affected after it has been re-indexed? Is it a good idea to purchase recycled domains? Regards...
I've noticed that with the domains I've purchased Google puts their notorious 180day block on them after they've expired. So far they'll remove that if you email them, and explain that you are a new owner of the site.
How do you know if it is blocked or not? I noticed that a domain I purchased, had tons of back links that just disappeared overnight. The links still exist. The domain is back in the google index, but is slow growing in pages indexed.
A funny thing happened with some PR7 domains that I purchased. I re-registered 6 recycled PR7 domain names. I first checked the PR rating before purchasing them and it was OK then as soon as I had registered them and set the websites up the PR went from PR7 to PR0 on 4 out of the 6 domains the other 2 went to PR2. This happened within 1 hour of re-registering them. Has anyone else come accross this problem before?
I have just seen a domain I bought two weeks ago fall out of Google. How did you get in touch with Google about it?
Kovacs - I do not think that I was cheated. What I think did happen is that Google has many datacenters and the domain was a PR7 in one datacenter but when I purchased it the PR was taken from another datacenter which had no PR rating for the domain. I checked this out using the future PR tool at seochat.com. If a domain is showing as PR7 in one datacenter and PR0 in another, what is the true PR rating?
Question: Answer: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=site:www.france-renovation.com&btnG=Search&meta= and it has taken 8 months to reach the stages where pages are even included as supplemental (and sometimes they disappear again)... Conclusion: Errr, no.
