      For complicated internal reasons (which I swear have validity) we are starting websites that will then disallow from Google for ~1 year.

      Is there any value in purchasing "premium" domains with SEO juice or will we lose the value in the time we are hiding the website from Google?

        Would you be doing a robots.txt deny or can you do a noindex,nofollow ? You don't want Google to see it or you don't want google to index it ?

        This is very similar to acquiring a premium domain or website and not using it for a year and then launching it. In my experience the domain value was still there.

        I hope this helps.

          If the homepage is live then the site is aging, if the page is completely deindexed then it is a dropped domain. I would suggest have a splash page homepage only that remains indexed.

          • My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.
