question How do you monetize SEO (high DR) names?

Develop it

I'm having a site built with a similar one ( Domain Authority 35 | Linking Domains 306 | Inbound Links 122.7k )

Redirect the backlinks to specific pages on the site that have content related to the backlinks - check out what the top anchor texts are, get rid of the crap links, keep creating additional content around those pages (and the rest of the site) and go from there

There are different types of development, people are killing it with e-commerce and SEO domains for example, depends on the domain and the backlink profile

Personally I am going to be looking at direct business listings to start with (should of been travel affiliate related, but atm not really going to make any dough this way)

I did spend a LOT of time reading up on SEO, development, Social Media marketing etc etc before taking the plunge, but if you are in no rush there is plenty of resources out there to read up on before committing to it.....I have added a few links below....

Edit:

Also the below is a very good site (also a brilliant domain name)

Just be sure the domain profile tool/s you are using to check the index status of the name. If the name is/ or gets deindexed - you wont get the link juice.

581 referring domains is not that much, so I wouldn't raise my hopes high. There are other factors that affect a price of a domain that SEOs are buying. History, how long has it been dead(for sale), previous niche etc...

You need to re-read my previous message. I never talked about redirects there.

OK.....what is 581 referring domains? Why the 581....

I looked up referring domains and that makes sense....interesting. But i am confused by the number though...

I think the reference was to 581 "referring" domains - the links are coming from referring names, think it's just a terminology change, I believe.

But, make sure you know how G considers the name - not only the historic reporting on the SEO platforms (even reltime is historic once you log out), what matters is does Google still have the name indexed? If it is what are they going to see on next visit - dead pages, redirects, ?

If they deindex it - which will happen quickly if the name had any worthwhile traffic (as good site get crawled more often) - you have nothing from the domain at that point, in fact worse as it's deindexed and you have working from scratch (often times on a less optimal name, that was built up by previous owner then abandoned). No idea if that applies to your situation - but it's a mistake I've seen when exploring high da name drops, building your own PBM network type ventures, etc.. So just a heads up.

Because the image in OP says that 581 domains are linking to his domain.

581 different domains pointed with links to this specific domain.

Does it get traffic? If it gets more than 100 hits a day try to rebuild all the pages to what they were, that's the first start.

Was on a slow day yesterday....thanks

It takes a lot of effort and skills to monetize an SEO domain.
Most of the people bidding on SEO domains are either going to develop the sites themselves or resale them.
But you would need a very specific lists of customers to be able to sell them.

Developing them out is a whole different ball game. Also not all SEO domains are equal.
You need to look at the quality of the referring domains, and relevance of the referring pages.

And then you need to build out an Affiliate site in a Niche very very close to the type of the original site.

eg: A university's health related site can be repurposed into a health supplement's review site.

But there are a lot of moving parts to it, and it is like a full time job, rebuilding a good site.

Rebuilding the site itself is the easy part. There are many services that will rebuild a site off the Archive.org
I myself never use archive.org content in case of legal issues, but the Idea is to rebuild the Old page structures or at least redirect all the Old pages to new corresponding ones, specially pages that have links coming to them, and them using those pages to target new money generating keywords or funneling those pages to new pages targetiong money keywords.. Those are relatively easy. But lots of work.

But planning for what keywords to target, coming up with a list of topics around which to order content. Then order the content and have them formatted for wordpress and update the site.

And the existing links will only give a headstart, but you might need to do more Link building to rank higher etc.
