Just a reminder – this isn’t an “all-encompassing guide” there are many, many different innovative ways to capture domains that are beneficial for your website whether they are directly related, somewhat related, indirectly or “absolutely irrelevant”… and all can still be quite beneficial.


Here’s how.

Not matter how much we say “PageRank is worthless for ranks”… PageRank is the #1, single most saw after quality for anyone looking for better links… and while I hate the philosophy I embrace it to provide a better “presumed service”.

I said (when we started) “a link strategy that costs $1000 and would have perpetual return”. So far we have spent about $200 - $400 depending on how many “buy now” offers you got over bidding against others.

That leaves $600 - $800 and you should start looking for a PR6 domain – whatever the name is.

The reason you MUST do this is to create a supplementary revenue stream to continue paying for related and unrelated domains as your strategy grows.

Once you capture this domain, setup a PPI directory (easiest), PPI Article Resource, PPI blog, PPI forum – PPI whatever that allows you to offer a “higher quality review” (with a link), higher quality literature (with a link), etc. and all 50% of the revenue goes to buy domains for your website and 50% for your review/literature so you can keep all your pages from going supplemental… you can be sure that you resource will have people flocking to pay for a solid “category related link”… and you get yours is well.

A couple of PR5 domains may be easier/cheaper to acquire and will make a PR6 but of course you need to wait for Google to update PR for everyone to see the value of the homepage…

I also recommend casting a wide category net on the homepage so that submitters will list in the more related category; rather than the highest PageRank, top level category.

It’s worth noting that you can also get some great deals bidding on eBay. Seph acquired one for $129 where I spent at GoGaddy (auction http://www.tdname.com) $655 for another which I gotta wait until the 11th to receive the latter) both were PR6 but the audience at eBay (I presume) are looking for a finished website that includes a domain name and care less about PageRank and backlinks.

Anyway, there are lots of risks and enormous rewards particularly if you capture the domain “immediately after the release” as Google doesn’t kill links immediately and I have had about 40% of domains (about 40 or so) that I verified and redirected immediately as it had the backlink available already and ranks for obscure phrases.

People that do not do seo for a living like myself may want to consider scraping the PPI idea and simply taking the additional cash earned from their business to support the domain purchasing.

...on the other hand if your business is not lucrative enough to support it, but the PPI is, then you may want to consider changing your business





fathom, I asked earlier, but I don't think you saw it...Have you seen the domains lose their strength over time or are the majority of the links sticking, keeping the strength up?

I haven't removed any redirectly to see if the domain stands on its own 'as it did' before it was redirect.

If you had links to any domain and then lose them you can then make an argument that eventually all the links will be gone and none of the domains have any benefit anymore - so best not to waste that money... but that isn't any different than paying your membership fee at some association and they add you to their membership list, and then you don't renew and they eventually remove the link...

...did you lose it? The obvious answer is YES you will likely lose all the links "EVENTUALLY"... so my question back is -- when?

They part of your homework to determine the length of time you'll keep any specific links based on the historical habits of the website pointing it.

Archive.org can help determine that.

I have to say I was extremely excited about making use of this idea a couple of days ago. However, after searching a good 2500+ domains I am a bit discouraged...

I have only found one domain worth considering and it is currently going for $21, but will likely end up costing more when I begin to bid on it (the auction ends tomorrow).

The tediousness of searching for worthy domains wouldn't be so bad if the seochat PR lookup tool didn't timeout so damn much!


ugh...has anyone else had any luck finding a gem or two?

I don't buy domains for links... it isn't worth it to me, I buy the domain for the traffic and/or the name... I then either resell it for a profit or else I stick it up and do something with it myself... there are still a number of profitable domains to buy...
But you must be dedicated or you won't get them.

I've looked through about as many as you, and I just bought the best one I found so far, for the sake of going through the motions and learning the process. It is a PR3 domain with 42 backlinks showing in Yahoo. I've been finding it very tedious also.

I did find a few PR5 domains, but oddly they had 0 backlinks (both with and without www), so I assume the Google Toolbar is mistaken? As an example, one of them was xtooltracker.com

If I'm understanding correctly, it won't work if I 301 redirect to my own site right away - I have to put up a website at the domain I bought and then wait until Google "credits the links" before redirecting - correct?

How do you know when Google has credited the links?

I know very little html (not enough to create simple website from scratch) - is there any easy way to do this?

Do I have to make sure that I have created pages at all the pages of the site that the backlinks are going to?

Thanks,

You can view them from your Google Webmaster Tools account.

You can give the designing task to a professional designing company or a freelancer who would do the same job at a lower price.

You can also download templates from sites such as templatemonster.com and tweak them accordingly as per your requirements

If I understand your question correctly then you are talking about deeplinks to the domain that you are buying.

Technically if you want to reap the benefits of the deeplinks that the domain has, then you have to create pages with the same file names to which the links are pointing. And IMO, if the domain does have deeplinks to it then it would be better to create pages with the old file names [to which the links are pointing] and then once the links show up in the Google WMT, deep-redirect the whole domain to your site.

Not sure if this is the right thing to do..just a thought.

Fathom what do you have to say on this?

If a domain has hundreds of links, what is the best way to find out what url the links are pointing to? Surely there must be a better way than checking each link individually.

Yes you understood me correctly. Thanks for the info. I suppose that instead of creating all the pages, I could 301 redirect them to other pages - related thread here: http://forums.seochat.com/google-op...01t-160301.html

BTW I discovered that ownership of that name I bought won't transfer for 3 more days - until then the previous owner can still redeem it I think, but I doubt he will.

I just bought a PR5 domain with 500 backlink, a lots of edu and org for $120 which is really nice.

Use the advanced search option and THINK!
