A few years ago, there was a group of people starting to talk about buying aged domains that already had PR. These domains were former websites and for some reason, there people who owned them let them go. In most instances, all the links pointing to those domains stayed in place and since all those links were pointing at those domains, they kept their PR in most cases. If you bought on of these aged domains at auction, all you had to do was throw up a website and you instantly had a website with PR. It was pretty easy and pretty straightforward. I bought a few back in 2008 and 2009 and they had a brief period where their PR dropped. But since I had quickly put up a website all were able to get their PR back and keep them. A few even went up.
But I lost interest back then for one reason or another and kinda forgot about aged domains for a while.
That is, until recently. I started buying them a few at a time about a year ago. But this time I noticed that a few were losing their PR and wouldn’t get it back. Without knowing what I was doing, I bought several that had been recently dropped and a few that had fake PR. To say I over spent for those domains is an understatement! For those domains, it was like I had to start the backlinking and content building all over again, just as I would a new site. I knew there had to be something I was missing.
I started hitting the blogs and forums again trying to find someone who knew the ins and outs of this game. I found the usual fluff and B.S. on most sites. But one name kept coming up on several sites as someone who knew what they were talking about. So I found this guy posting on some forums and started to read his post. From past experience, I knew that a lot of what he said was true about aged domains.
It was what I didn’t know that was killing me. I needed to know what I was doing wrong with those domains that went no where after I bought them!
I learned that Lando, the person everyone was talking about on the forums as having the inside track on buying aged domains, was about to release a course on Buying aged domains and setting them up on WordPress. This course was also suppose to show people a few things to help them keep their PR once they owned the domains. I was still a little skeptical until another blogger that I trust recommended Lando as well and had told me how well he was doing with aged domains.
So I waited a few weeks while Lando put the finishing touches on his course that he called Automatic Authority. Justly named because that is what you’ll get if you buy a quality aged domain.
Well, the course finally arrived and I was the first to buy it. I sit down right then and watched the Video tutorials from start to finish. I found out rather quickly that I had been on the right track buying aged domains, but there were some very important steps that I was missing. As is with most things, it’s those important two or three pieces of the puzzle that prevent you from achieving success with a technique or process.
The Automatic Authority video course is very detailed. Lando walks you through step by step showing you what tools to use and how to analyze a domain before bidding on it. He also gives little inside tips on what is important when you’re evaluating a domain and what you can do away with. It’s a combination of all these little tips and tricks in the process that keep you on track and keeps you focused.
One of the techniques he uses will help you refine your search for domains, saving you hours, if not days, in finding the potential gold mine in aged domains. Because if you haven’t figured it out yet, not every aged domain is a good one.
He also answered my question about dropped domains and gave me his opinion why some were actually good buys while I should avoid others. It made perfect sense to me after I watched that video. I now knew what I had done right in the past and why some of my other domains I bought didn’t rank well.
There are 10 video’s in the Automatic Authority course. You’ll learn how to spot fake domains and how to set up your newly acquired aged domain on a WordPress site and what to do to help you keep the PR once you have your site set up.
Lando also mentioned one little trick that some people do to boost the PR of their domain they’re selling and then once you buy it, POOF, you can watch your PR vanish. It’s tips like this that really makes this course worth the money if you’re serious about building a network of aged domains with websites that have authority.
For some of you, you may be scratching your head wondering why you should be buying aged domains. I’ll try and break it down for you now.
If you haven’t learned yet, Google gives a great amount of weight to aged domains with PR. When you buy a new domain, it may take your anywhere from 6 months, and in many cases longer, to rank for profitable keywords. But with aged domains, many will rank quickly once you start building backlinks. This is because in Google’s eyes, these are aged domains with “trusted” authority.If you haven’t noticed lately, Google’s farmer update has really been taking it’s toll on a lot of websites. From what I and others can figure out, Google is favoring older websites with old links. In their eyes, if these websites have been around and have old links, then they must be trustworthy. While some of my newer sites have lost rankings, my older sites with good PR have stayed the same and some have actually gained rankings – which leads to increased income!You can used Aged domains in several ways. You can buy them and set up an affiliate site on them or you can use them to link to your existing sites. If you’re a serious marketer, then you know the value of having high PR sites linking to your site. When you buy aged domains with PR, you’re getting a site with authority in Google’s eyes.Websites that have authority are able to rank for a variety of keywords…and usually do so much quicker than newer domains. This means you can create websites with a broad set of keywords and they should rank much quicker than trying to start a bunch of new sites with exact match domains for each keyword you want to rank for.As you can see, there’s fewer things more advantageous than having an aged domain.
For example, shortly after watching Lando’s Automatic Authority video course, I was able to do some research and narrowed my search down to 3 domains that were up for auction. One of them had a PR 3 and 2 had PR 4. I followed all the steps that Lando outlined in the course and decided that any of these three would be a good addition to my portfolio of websites. But I wasn’t going to over spend. So I patiently waited for the end of the auction and put in my highest bid for each domain.
I ended up winning one of the PR4 sites. The PR3 actually went higher than both PR4's! That’s just something crazy that will happen if you follow domain auctions long enough.
That was 3 weeks ago. This domain actually already ranked for 7 keywords when I bought it according to SEMRush.Com. When you’re doing research, you sometimes come across domains that already rank for keywords. When I find these, I check out the Adsense CPC or whether or not there’s an aff program for the keywords.
Now, my new PR4 aged domain I bought, with just a little backlink building and 6 pages of content, is ranking for over 29 keywords and 13 are in the top 10 of Google SERPS for their keyword. 4 are in the top 3. Some of these keywords have $8 to $11 CPC on Adwords. Can you say “Instant Adsense or Affiliate Income”?
Basically it boils down to taking a short cut on your efforts to get your website ranked and authority built. Like I’ve said before, I’ve had new websites take over a year to rank for competitive keywords. Buying aged domains moves you to the head of the line in a shorter amount of time!
If you’d like to find out how to buy aged domains and not make the costly mistakes I and others have made, then you should really consider getting Automatic Authority. It’ll teach you the right way to buy aged domains and set up websites to help you keep your authority and PR. So if you’re serious about building your own high PR websites or building websites that have the ability to rank quickly, you’re going to want to get Automatic Authority.
