Here is another thing you should be aware of. Buying domain names that have expired or have already been used.

sometimes it can have great benifet like already being listed in the searchengines or already having inbound links. But what if it has already been "Black Listed" by Google?

Well I had just that happen to me! I bought the domain name "AcceleratedSEO" about a year ago thinking that it would fit my business perfectly. Well so far in that year I am in all major searchengines and doing extremely well all except for Google.

If I do a direct search for the domain name you can see that Google hasn't even got me listed in it's index (totaly baned) yet you will see lot's of other sites that link to me.

I wrote Google pleading that my domain was new and that after almost a year I am still not listed in their indexes. That I am in Yahoo, DMOZ and other major search engines but why not Google... I got a standard BS reply saying that I was not Baned or Black Listed and that it may take some more time before Iwill be listed.
