I know a guy who repeatedly calls me with ‘the latest and greatest’ in dropped domains and its something that i think coupld really benefit any SEO in their day to day link development work.

Basically the process would follow:

  • Source dropped domains from sites like unwanted-domain-names.co.uk (anyone know any more)
  • Check back link numbers for accuracy
  • Check anchor text for backlinks using opensiteexplorer.org to ensure relevancy
  • Check deep links for backlinks and try and match with pages on target website
  • Buy domain
  • Register with Google Webmaster Tools
  • Create .htaccess file with 301 redirects for all old content url’s to new url’s

This could be a great way of building some nice authorative backlinks pretty cheapley and if on-topic would bring new custom.

Id be tempted not to buy a domain if the anchor texts were off topic as this could lead to a world of hurt.

Anyone got any experiences of this they’d care to share?
