So, I often see people buying domains here solely based on the DA, PA, TF or PR. Let me tell you this now, these metrics are severely flawed, and will only hurt your SEO campaigns. In this post I am going to demonstrate why these metrics are dead, and relying on them is bad for you. All domains in this post are unregistered at the time of posting, feel free to register them: DA38 organiconsumers.org DA37 ciudadjuarez2008-2010.com DA34 nikeairmax-1.com Backlinks to all of these domains consist of viagra/pharma links, blog comments, xrumer blasts etc. Is this really what you want being forwarded on to your money site? Now look at these low/no PR/DA: (again, available to register if you want) showuptix.com (natural links from examiner.com/phoenixnewtimes.com and more) sweetland08.com (natural links from washingtonpost,opencongress,redstate,edu) Now, i could spend another 1 hour showing examples, and showing you more domains I have, but I wont do that. Can I ask why everybody still relies on these metrics, buying junk domains because of some number created by a piece of software unrelated to googles algorithm, or an outdated metric that even google dont use anymore? I have spent the past few months perfecting my own personal piece of software to root out these good domains, and even though it picks out many good ones, there are many junk ones included too. You guys need to start looking at the data behind the numbers
One of the best posts I have read in this forum! Very good info, some great proofs and of course PERFECT thesis!
People use those metrics as everybody talks about them. People who know what they are doing look at the link profiles instead.
