6 month penalty for using expired domain
Filed in archive SEO by noel on July 22, 2006

Early July just a few weeks ago, I finally found it indexed by google. Counting back the month from the time I bought the domain, it seems like google has a 6 month penalty imposed on expired domains. Since it was late Dec, the 6th month was the latter part of June. It took a few weeks more for google to crawl the site and index it.
I can't really say that all expired domains go through this 6 month penalty, but in this one domain's case, it did.
Anybody had similar experience on expired domains?
