“He said that TLD doesn’t matter–that’s the way Larry and Sergey originally designed the Google algorithm.”

So glad to know that domain extension does not matter because I really want to develop a site using .info & .mobi. Hope it true .info will be treated the same like .com .net and .org..

Great Recap. Thanks

Wow so glad I read this today as just about to spend up big on three old domains or exsisting sites I was buying for their age and page rank to get link juice to other sites so now not so sure on what I should do.
May just continue to power up what we have and go on holidays with the cash

hi
i have seen almost all matt cutts videos and searched alot about expired domains link juice. every expert said it wont work for link building. but i have tried it my self and believe me expired domain worked. after few days of registering website its got the old PR. suppose it was PR4 but now it is PR3. but this is not the big difference. if PR is about authenticity of domain then it should be good.

Then i experimentally purchased 5 expired domains. all got the old PR after few days. 3 of them were relevant keywords to my website. i put the almost same type of content as in old age in same 3 websites. google also index the pages quickly.

but i am not sure that will they pass link juice or not?

but about 2 domains that were not relevant, i ve put not so relevant content to old age and google doesnot index its pages since 3 weeks but both the domains have old age PR.

now my question is that how should i know that this domain is passing PR or not?

if i have similar relevant websites then should i link my own websites or 301 redirect these websites ?

Thanks

Once again the idea of unique content seems to be important. However there’s a horrid voucher code site giving google the run around at the moment which uses content grabbing from other sites to boost it’s rankings. Whilst simply “borrowing” people’s content ranks so high them it’s discouraging for those who try to write unique content.

Thanks Mr. Dave for posting the article. The points are very helpful, especially the one about the interlinking among the sites as I always was searching for the exact answer regarding this question.

Great overview Dave,

I particularly like the definitive answer Matt gave about interlinking sites and what is considered appropriate and within respectable guidelines. Great content, hats off.

Hey Russ, that peanut butter example was given when a guy asked about why his network of sites wasn’t showing up as well as they used to when he had fewer sites. Matt was basically saying that you’ve got the same amount of pagerank on the original sites, but you’re spreading out the link juice/pagerank/link mojo/link force/whatever across more sites so each one gets a smaller share of the link love. His main point with that is that you can’t simply rely on links from your own sites to get enough pagerank to rank well in Google. You’ve got to go and get external links on other sites or it ‘aint going to happen.

Excellent recap. I’d be interested to see an expanded article on this statement “it’s like spreading the same amount of peanut butter across a bigger piece of bread.”
