How To Use Dropped Domains To Rank Your Money Site #1 On SERPs

I posted this in another thread earlier. you don't need to be spending a lot on domains with PR.
I don't want to promote the same site again, but I go to sites that show recently expired domains. the ones I pick up don't show any PR at all, but you can manually check the backlink profiles to see the quality.
I sort the dropped domains by backlinks. Speficially I sort by Domain Pop backlinks.
Now this service never comes close to cataloging the right amount of backlinks, but I found that the higher this figure is, regardless of the amount in the normal backlink column, the better the domain.
For example:
Site | backlinks | domain pop BL
yea.com | 562 | 2
ok.com | 62 |130
It's often the case that in the example above ok.com would have a much better profile than yea.com, even though yea apparently has more backlinks, DP is what i look out for and it's been very successful for me.
So then check the domain in SEO spyglass, majestic seo, ahrefs and whatever else you use. Make sure it's a domain that was ranked with quality backlinks, and then you can snap it up for $6.
I've acquired literally about 15 domains in as many days. PR 2 upto 5.

Hi all,
This is my first post on WF. I'm excited to be a part of this forum.
Quintana, thank you for sharing. Hunting purely for high tbPR, then I agree that the DP backlink profile is more informative (that OSE). I wonder what filters DP has built in... my sites with high trust (MT and/or flow) rank much better for SERP than sites with high PR.
If the site is for Adsense or TLA then I choose the keyword based on the top 10 or so backlinks from DP, but the domain name and past content make no difference in ranking for the new keyword. Example: the expired PR1 [personablogabouttailgating]DOTcom ranked #1 for [cosmetic product application guide for teens] less than a week after launch.
This is interesting because typically sites with many inbound links have a much lower rdMT, and not surprisingly a higher PR. The highest quality expired domains and the ones that I use to build out my network are those with 100+ links and MozTrust > 3, but they're very difficult to find by brute forcing footprints in ScrapeBox.
Also, SEO hosts for domains in a private network are a big NO.

Well that's the thing, as part of my checks I'm looking at citation and trust flow. if trust is really low then i'm not going for it. Just looking at the profile will probably reveal stealth link injections, or pharma-type links.
That's why just hunting for PR domains isn't efficient, so I agree with you.
The good thing is that most people just look for PR, or even sort the results by PR, and they're missing out on so many great domains because they don't spend the time to research.
I've been able to find a domain, check everything, confirm its quality, buy it, set up free hosting, install WP with a pro theme, and upload some of its old pages all within 45 minutes.
Within 2 days Google has crawled it again and PR has shot up to 4

A friend of mine used this strategy to rank for a SERPIQ 70+ domain in 6 months. It works but you've gotta be careful and have DEEP pockets.
