Finding Old Domains to Get Indexed Faster by Alexandru Panait

The first step in the process is to find an old domain. There is a more
complicated explanation for this but all you really need to know is that the
search engines favour domains that are established and have a longer history
because they perceive that they are an older and hence more credible source of
information. This has been tested extensively and is proven to give faster
indexing, more traffic and hence better results.
To find an old domain we use www.1expired.com. Once you have created an account
you select the find expired domains tool and begin searching. What we are
looking for is a domain with these characteristics:
1. It is over 2 years old. 2. Sites pages are that of a decent site not a link
farm. 3. It is available. 4. It has at least 1 page already indexed in Google.
Working with Archive.org
Using the 1expired.com search you will bring up a list of domains that fit your
filters. You will see a button that says archive. When you click this button a
screen will come up that shows the history of this domain, including how many
pages it has had listed and in which years.
What you are looking for is a domain that has pages listed from more than 2
years ago.
A lot of the domains you click will show no history at all so it is your job to
sort through these to find the ones that have. When you find a domain that has
history of more than 2 years. When you find a domain with some history it pays
to click each page that it has listed to see what kind of page it is (the
actual page that was listed in that year will be shown). If it is anything
other than a site with a whole lot of links then you can tick step one. (Note:
some domains will show a message saying this domain is parked here or the site
is under construction or something similar. These domains may have a lot of
links but they are not link farms and they are OK to use).
Other checks for domain validity
Ok now you have to go to Google and see whether this domain has pages indexed
or not. To do this simple go to Google and type in
site:thedomaininquestion.com�. If there are no results for this search
then there are no pages indexed and you will have to try another domain. If you
see results, (they will usually be the domain itself listed there), then this
domain gets tick number 2.
Lastly you just have to check that this domain is available. To do this, just go
to www.registerfly.com and type your domain into the main box that has .com
next to it and hit enter. You will see the results and will be able to tell
whether or not this domain is available. If the domain is available then you
are good to go. This domain is a good usable domain and you are ready to move
on to the next step!
