Hey all,

This question bugs me for a while now, because I'm seeing 5-6 figure sales of domain names that have a Spam Score of 50-80% which is ridiculous!

I'm a web developer/SEO guy so I know Google quite well.. Are those sales happening simply because the buyers are not aware of this factor? or maybe this isn't even a factor when domain investing??

New owner can contact the spam db and wipe out the spam history or any block. So there is no issue.

I never check spam score for any of the domains I'm acquiring. What matters to me is that if the domain can be acquired by any enduser some day, then I go for it.

Never tried it.

Sounds contradicting. Particularly in high value sales.

What matters to me is the sales are happening consistently and my track record of sales speaks for itself :xf.smile:

If we use the domain mainly for its backlinks and to create PBN etc, the Spam score surely makes sense, but as a domain investor, I don't care about SS.

I'm a blogger and I can easily say that you don't even need a good domain to start a blog or an affiliate site. Any extension will easily rank on the first page of Google if your content is well written and SEO optimized. Remember.... Like Neil Patel said, "Content is King."
The only thing you need to keep in mind is, Spam score should not be higher than 10%, DA should be high (like 30+), domain must not be banned by Google and you're good to go.
However, if your plan is to sell the domain, you need to register a good domain with lots of potential buyers.
I think Bill gates said Content is the King, Is it, Neil Patel, lol ??

Neil Patel is the biggest Digital Marketer and he is the reason why many bloggers have achieved success. Bill Gates was never a Blogger, Patel was and is a Blogger.

No wonder why I have a blog that ranks well and I earn enough for myself through blogging.
Neil is the reason why I started blogging.
