I have a domain, used to have a blog, actually my first one like 15 years ago checked and seems to still have a couple of 100 inbound links from well aged sites.
Now it's been offline for like 10 years.
I've been thinking of reviving the site to put some links to my live sites.

Wondering if it's worth the work, or basically going to be treated like a new site?

Can't justify letting it die, before you judge I was like 14 and other interests took over.
Held on to it out of nostalgia.
 


10-years-ago PR isn't so much relevant today. Check the backlinks, are they still there and what a quality of the sites is? Maybe half of them has also died by today.

Backlinks - this is the only factor that counts.
 
thanks golan, yeah, it's because there is one or two old news site where the links are still online,
rest are forums i meant a few hundred are left and still live today
because of these links i thought of putting it up again, but content gone too so ...haha
the more I think it's probably just like a new site
and probably won't even be indexed again because was down so long
 
Well hosting is cheap, digging up archived pages is trivial (assuming they exist), if you can spare a few hours why not revive it anyway and let it mature for a bit, see what happens.

You dont need to convert to a cms or create extra work initially.
 
This is a really popular method of link building that has been endorsed by Hayden over at nohatseo. I would go for it. No need to revive the site, other than (ideally, not necessary though) making the content somewhere in the same niche as the original site. Like if the site was a Ferrari enthusiast's web site, make it about cars or travel or something.
 
thanks i'll give it a go, found most of the posts archived in the wayback machine, even comments
wonder if this gonna be seen as duplicate content even though originally mine
;-) will make an update in 3-6 months with ranking, da, pa
 
What pr is it now? I have my attitude towards my site that "I need to go to work and do not look at the google stats more than Once a month" If I were you I would do that. That age is one of the ranking factor, no one can argue with that and you got it all covered up with that site. Now you just gotta treat it like other sites and let it go to work by itself.
 
thanks flip flop i went and checked current pr dont know why I didn't even think of that before, 1-3 and found 570 more backlinks
'm gonna copy paste the old content from archive back on there today

I was thinking that you view it like one of your new websites. Bring on some of the engaging old content and not the trash ones. Create some new Articles on the site/pages. Treat it as you would do with a new site and not stick on what you have there and stop.
