Purchased a dropped domain that was google SERP 1st page. Google Cache is still of old site.

After analyzing site it was simply feeding off of Simply Hired's hosted job listings - Job Board Software & XML-API | Simply Hired .

Assuming their is no money to be made with their program - will test it - I will want to transition to my own monetization and content (assuming their is not money made with their program) but initially I do not want to shock Google.

If I iFrame their content (they allow this) is it as good as transferring the CNAME to their hosting - from an SEO, Google spider point of view?

Should I first use their CNAME and then in a month or so frame their content and transition to mine?

Any insight would be appreciated.
 


You could rip the site completely using httrack (free) or inspyder (paid), this would probably work the best. I am using an iframe on a few of my sites for a similar desired effect, here is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Title from site</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords from site" />
<meta name="description" content="Description from site" />
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
<style type="text/css">
body,td,th {
color: #000;
}
body {
background-color: #FFF;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
iframe {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
border: 0;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<iframe src="http://url.com/***"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
 
I'm pretty sure they crawl the iframe, and treat it for what it is - separate content on a different site, which your site won't get any ranking for. Try spidering it, as the above poster said. Blackwidow is one.
 
I appreciate the responses. It's a simple enough site so I think I will use similar to the above code for the frame - this will give the job listings, but also, in fear of what -joe- said, add about 1000 words and links to other pages below the frame.

Thanks for the input.
