Hi All- I have been reading on a lot of forums recently and more and more it seems people are suggesting registering expired domain names with backlinks and page rank as a way to speed up the website process. I essentially understand that google will trust an older domain with pagerank more then a newley registered one. That makes perfect sense. Here is where I have trouble though. To register these domain names are people mostly paying $50 and up to register them before they are dropped? For example I know Sedo and other networks allow you to place a backorder on the domain and they snatch them up for you and then you bid to get the domain. These can run on the expensive side. However I keep hearing about domains that are dropped that still have page rank. So I did some searching and found a great tool that I can find domains that are expiring that day and even domains that are avliable (already been dropped and open to register). However many of the domains that have already been dropped seem to have lost there page rank. For example I found redportales.com today. It is avaliable when I checked and it has a page rank of 4 before it was dropped. However if you check on any of the page rank checking websites it now shows up a a PR0 now. It seems that since it was dropped it is a 0 now since google. wipped out its results for the domain. So please explain what types of domains I should register to get good results and domains with page rank. Do I need to only register them using sedo and other services before they become avaliable using the backorder or can I get similar results with finding avliable domains that wer already dropped? Will the page rank come back once I register the site and get a few backlinks to it again? I dont understand this whole process that well and need advice as to what types of domains I am looking for. I am kind of hopping on the register avaliable domains because even though I have to search a little to find them they are much cheaper. I would mind setting up a site and getting some fresh links coming in to it right away if the page rank would most likely come back at the next update. However, I also dont want to waste money and if a backorder or predrop status is what I have to do to keep the page rank then I will do it. Just at $60 dollar or more I won't be able to purchase that many domains. Does that even make sense sorry I dont even know the words to but this in a logical way because it is all so new. Thanks Chris
