Hi, There is a new website that I want to purchase for the domain name. However the current owner is just using the site for a porn links site. There are backlinks to the website and these are also from porn related directories or websites. I want to use the domain for a totally no porn related site, so I want to know how those porn related backlinks are going are going to affect the website with regard to google - ie will it get blocked when porn filters are on ?? The domain is a good domain and it has a current PR of 5, so I am keen for it but you see my concerns!
I think it has a bigger value as a porn domain honestly... its so hard to get a porn site to rank.... but I dont think the porn links will hurt you. Check to see if it ranks for any terms at all. I have come to find that there is a "porn" sandbox or filter that once a site has been classified as adult or porn it is pushed back for keywords. dunno just from my experience anyway.
Thanks, but the name is very poor for a porn name, and I think really it must have been a non porn site long in the past. The domain is selling for only about $500 which I think is resonable for a very good domain with a PR5. My question is though is the "porn" association in SE's done by the content on site (which I can change) or the links going to it - which I can't change?
