Hello guys.

For some context, I live in Spain (EU country) in a city with more or less 50k inhabitants. Top 1 businesses have got 15 DA on average, and contaminated backlinks.

2 days ago I ran into GSG podcast, since then, I have been doing my reaserch on Expireddomains for domains previously used in my country with 10 TF on Majestic or more.

As I am kinda young AND on a budget, I used my free Moz trial and the Majestic one to check the domains I had found, but all of them have lost all their DP OR they were heavlily spammed (BTW only domains I found were from EX newspapers from cities 300 miles away but as I have heard AND noted from GSGP it dont matter as long as I play it smoothly).

ANYWAY I (kinda) have lost the hope on finding (not 50 domains as yall talk about here) a SINGLE domain I can get for my PBN. I believe Id just need 2 or 3 to get to work on my city.

Question is: taking into account that I JUST looked for expired domains I can get for the normal rates, is there ANY chance I manage to find a good one (taking into account my location)?

Should I invest in one of these paid tools for a month to do my reaserch?

ATP I just feel I should start my own newspaper or blog and growth hack my ass into 30 DA LOL

I had a 3rd question but I forgot it LOL any suggestions are HIGHLY appreciated.

Not the question I had in mind but how likely is that Expireddomains shows 5DP and the domain has got IDK 20? Maybe I should just manually check every one (I did end up with a list of 100 domains with 10+ TF)

Thanks for reading and thanks to GSG for his content!

I'm aiming for 2010 but where should I draw the limit? EU country btw

Did an experiment with one of my newer PBN sites. The site has a DR of 50, a lot of high quality backlinks. I used AI to write 20 3k+ words content. With minimal input from me, these pages were published in no time but these pages have had a hard time getting indexed. It's been 2 months, only 8 pages including the homepage got indexed. Fed up, I decided to hand write a poorly constructed but human article...

In less than 24 hours, the article got indexed and is showing when I searched site:domain.com on Google. I really hate to say this, I think hand written content beats AI generated content when it comes to indexing. I have been taking the easy way out with content generation, asking AI to write in a way that does not read like AI generated, but this doesn't seem to help with getting the site fully indexed.

TLDR: I need to hand write more articles... Tedious work but it seems quite necessary nowadays.
