Hello, Suppose a domain expires which has some pr say pr3 and i grab it when it expires/deleted does the pr stays with the domain or it gets scrubbed ?
I think I am correct the PR stays most if not all times, but you will have to work 'your socks off' with the new content and back links etc to ensure the PR is maintained or improved by the time of the next G PR Update
Oh so its like 50-50 it might stay it might vanish ? Anyone here had first hand experience before i go and waste my 6$ or something
I am not sure as I never bought one, but I believe it is maintained, that is why I said 'the PR stays most if not all times' Wait a little time someone will come in on the thread and confirm 100%
why would the pagerank drop? doesnt the site still have its back links and everything even if it gets deleted for a short period of time?
I thought the PR drops if the domain is deleted. If its expired it stays. But in most cases you will lose backlinks from an expired domain if you throw up new content and people stop linking to you.
But dont domains get deleted before you can grab them again ? I do not think you can grab an expired domain cause it will than go through the 75 days of vicious cycle after its expiry date.
I get confused with all that. I think before domains expire the get picked up by huge domain companies that then resell them. So they never do expire and go into the deleted or pending delete. Like I said though that is my GUESS.
Hmm ithought pool and snapnames grab dropped names , i do not think there is option to aquire a domain that just entered expired mode
When my names expire at enom they first go into a 30 day period where they are expired but I can get them back by paying the normal registration fee. During that time my content doesn't show; it shows some sort of enom ads page. After that period it goes into an extended registration period where I could recover it for "only" $160.00 I haven't followed them after that. In other words, by the time a domain is actually available for re-registration it has probably been 60-90 days minimum since it has shown it's original content. There is LOTS of time for the search engines to notice the site isn't what it used to be.
I've bought several expired domains through GoDaddy before and they had PR when I got them but they resetted to PR 0 during the subsequent PR Updates especially those which I have not done any work on. I had to start from fresh for the domains that I have. Well, PR ratings has to do with Backlinks and if the sites listing the prior site decides to remove the links, your PR rating would be affected. Page Rank is not static and they can change from updates to updates.
