      I want to know about your advice to re-life expired domain, assume PA:55 how I get benefits from it, when I use it for new related content.

        There might be some, but if the domain is off brand and not a name you want to use, you're probably better off universally redirecting it to your present domain.  It's important to investigate the history of the domain though. Is it associated with Spam? Either as a source of spam email or a spammy link profile? Try to get as much insight in that regard as you can.

            Ok. If you decide that you're going to buy the domain, once you do use a 301 redirect to send all former links and references from it to your present domain.  Here a guide on that: http://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection.

              OK thank you for your respond, but I don't want to redirect that domain, I want to rebuild that domain with new content, with easy competition keyword , Shall I deal with it like new website when I build backlinks

                I see. Yes, I'd plan on it being like a new website when adding content and building out the site.

                    If the domain was recently expired, you might see some short term success, but long term success will be dependent on what you put into it after launch.

                      Abu,

                      The whole point of buying expired domains with high authority is to piggy-back off the previous owner's SEO success. You are buying a domain that has already established links and a reputation online. Whether you redirect the domain or decide to build up the site, the idea is that you aren't starting from scratch. It can be beneficial both short term and long term, depending on the link profiles. Like Ryan said, your success is going to be dependent upon what you put into the site. If you build a quality website then the existing site authority will help you out. If you are unable to build a quality site--then the existing authority won't do much. Best of luck.

                        I personally have done with with floridagunclassifieds.com i immediately saw the benefits from it. My key words were all in the domain. The expired domain was around since 2001 so I got the benefit of having an already indexed domain from google. It took about 4-6 months off my SEO time table by using the expired domain and building it up. I am now #3 in florida for my keyword and quickly climbing the rankings.. Go ahead and use the new domain!
