I have been looking at some expired domains which are available for re-registration. Some have a long history at archive.org and some still show Google PR. I have looked at some of the backlinks and they often come from newspaper reviews or other sources which apparently never check for broken links.
My thought is to register some of these, write a page or two of content which bridges the former theme to a subject I choose, which them becomes an on theme link to some other site(s) I have.
For example, I register orlandopictures.com which still shows a few links and has PR. I write a couple of pages about how pretty pictures of Orland are and how much I would like to travel there to take some pictures for my Florida travel website. (names/places picked from air
I understand Google is a registrar and would have no problem telling the name had expired and was under new ownership. My question is if anyone has actually tried this and how long any PR benefits continued.
Thanks,
Paul
