Bought some new sites (again)

I regularly invest in new sites and now I have done a new round.

Here are the new ones I got hold of:

Optical Illusions PR5, high traffic, dmoz listed etc.
Modern Pentathlon Unique content, nice domain. Got the site almost for free.
DotComPlay New Arcade site. I bought it for $20 and want to sell it for $2K within 12 months and meanwhile cash in on it, let’s see if I can do that.
Digital Camera Details Lots of pages, excellent crap site for Link-Vault, hehe.
Funny Jokes Many pages, also good for LV.

I got them all very cheap. Here is my updated list of web sites, 53 sites so far.

Where do I buy sites? -> Here.

Sorry if you’ve already told and I’ve missed it, but what has been your most profitable domain purchase so far?

No, PR5.

Well, hard to say. Maybe this. Axeq.com has also been having a good profit.

I know this is an old post, but the question I have is quite related to it I believe. Do you find that when you buy domains and the ownership is transferred to you that the domains lose a bit of their “trust” from Google.

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere a while ago that Google makes note of ownership changes and discounts links to the domain that were established prior to the change. Of course, much in the SEO world is speculation and anecdotal, but I’m curious about your opinion.

Thanks!

Yes, actually the target is changed. Not 2007 but before the summer!

Do you find that when you buy domains and the ownership is transferred to you that the domains lose a bit of their “trust” from Google.

Probably, I don’t have enough observation data to make a conclusion. Most of the sites I buy I transfer over to my hosting, change who-is etc. and then I let them sit until I have time to work with them. That can take half a year and by that time it has regained it’s trust again I believe.

About backlinks being discounted after owner change is not correct. Loose some trust in the domain – maybe.
