Determining domain history

I know there are pricey tools to determine backlink profiles like hrefs but is there a cheaper way to determine this on a high level?

Trying to decide what domain to use for a blog and obviously would be better if it isn't severely tainted

Tried moz.com's free tool but that doesn't have anything on the domains in question. Same for way back machine. Anybody know anything else I can try?

  • I don't know. Nowadays, a domain feels super overrated. A domain name (URL) is rarely, if ever nowadays, typed manually.

    In fact, I don't recall every typing in a domain name manually for the past decade. Taking that experience, I no longer care whether a domain name is long or short and always choose a new domain, ex petersfuckedupplace, havocisfraud, etc.

  • Hm, for free, don't think so.

    But what about these?

    For domain registrations, create an account at Dynadot (ref) and spend $9.99 within 48 hours to receive $5 DynaDollars!

    I guess you could try seeing if there are any pages in archive.org and see if they look like they'd cause you an issue.

    Yeah you could use WBM too.

    I mean, if it's "clean" on WBM then you can take that as a good sign :smiley:

  • Thanks all - helpful

  • For backlinks, you can use this method - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/guide-find-your-competitors-hidden-pbn-backlinks-of-any-website-for-free.1311731/
    It shows popular backlinks atleast.

    For history, archive.org is the best option.
