And it even had dmoz backlink before,but it have very bad name which is why i didnt have any content on it for a while.So i put it on expire,but still wondering perhaps i should create new domain with better name and 301 redirect old domain it to.Will i benefit anything with it despise the fact how it didn't had any content there and it doesn't have any content now ?
No, do not 301 it to a new domain. If it has a bad reputation, it is very likely that this reputation will be transferred, making the new site bad as well. No one can say for certain, but 301 will most likely tell Google "my bad website has permanently moved to a new domain".
Domain has no content,traffic or anything.Only good thing is it's age,so i though with 301 redirect to new domain maybe that age will pass.
Right, if the reputation is bad then dont use redirect to the old domain to the new domain, this will harm your website.
WOW... it's really refreshing to finally find people that know that 301 is Not an absolute certainty. I get really frustrated with people at other forms that have been running around with 301 thinking that Google's just going to pass everything along. It doesn't make logistical sense. they say they've been doing it for years without a problem... But my guess it's with sites that had nothing to lose in the first place. Anyway to answer your question... I agree with the people on this thread that have said you won't benefit much. If the site has been dead for any period of time over say 3 three months... You can forget about any content that was there or not. in the past I successfully resurrected a site that had been down for about 40 days by retrieving all the pages from the Google cache. But that was five years ago. So again you are left with the answer of... Just move on and build a new site and tossed the old one
Ok i will just let domain to expire.But still it's suck how i will need to wait 1-2 years to gain rankings on new domain.
lol at pseudo-intellectuals. That makes loads of logistical sense. 301'ing WILL NOT hurt you, and if the old domains has useful backlinks, I'd recommend it.
if it has an untroubled history, definitely 301 it, the 3 times we've done this on asset consolidations the results have been nothing short of spectacular. even if nothing did happen as long as the domain is clean it can't hurt, but if you can possibly pass 13 years worth of age / trust through, why not try?
Well yes indeed it cost only 8.5$ to renew domain,i guess i can risk that considering i wasted already in history on many useless domains money.
