These issues stem from a lack of understanding of old domain names. For example, do you know the characteristics of old domain names? How can I find an old domain name?
I. What are the characteristics of old domain names?
1. A history of website creation
A domain name must have a history of website creation to be considered an old domain. Domains that have been registered for a long time but have never had a website created on them are not considered old domains.
2. A history of website creation exceeding 5 years
A domain name must have a history of website creation exceeding 5 years. Website creation activity doesn't just mean it's been created; it's also ideally linked to.
3. No historically negative content
A domain name with a history of negative content is more likely to have been banned. Therefore, we generally recommend avoiding such domains. You can use the historical anchor text in a backlink query to check the domain's history. If the percentage of negative content is low, you can try using it.
4. Normal backlinks and anchor text
A positive anchor text is crucial for determining whether the domain name is positive. The anchor text of a normal website generally follows a consistent pattern, focusing on keywords related to a specific industry and avoiding large amounts of numerical or symbolic text. If the anchor text is normal, the more backlinks the better.
II. How do I find old domain names?
1. Domain name squatting platforms
In recent years, many webmasters have used domain name squatting platforms to find domains, then select the corresponding PageRank (PR) value and domain age.
2. Third-party platform discovery
A common method for discovering old domain names is to search for URLs on platforms that display backlinks, such as Baidu Wenku, 360, blogs, portals, and forums. These are all good sources for discovering old domain names.

Commonly used tools for discovering old domain names include webmaster tools, domain name search, and webmaster tools. These three tools can be used as references. On the search tool, you can use Sogou's backlinks to check when they were posted, thereby determining the website's age.
