Does it make sense to buy a trusted domain?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

I want to start a thematic blog with a lot of content. I am faced with a choice: register a new domain for the site or buy a domain "with history".
The fact is that Yandex indexes new sites on new domains for a very long time (from my experience up to two months), and when buying a used domain, Yandex will probably not slow down so much. Plus, such a domain can have an established TIC, which is also a bonus to search results.
I don’t understand anything about SEO, so I’m wondering if it’s worth looking for suitable domains at auctions, or maybe it’s better to buy a working site and change the content there?
Has anyone had experience launching a new site on an old domain?

Answer 1

The ideal option is to find a site with a similar theme and buy it.
Drop is in second place and almost makes no sense in Yandex, in Google it makes more sense.
It is better to take a new domain if you cannot find a drop or an existing site with a normal price and name.

Answer 2

sindrom , but how many pages are we talking about?
If this is an aggregator, and the volume is from 50-100k pages, then my experience is yes, with such a volume ~ 80% of the pages come in a month. What are the indicators of the site you are targeting when buying? Is its cost comparable to the acceleration of indexing? I assume that indexing will speed up by 2 weeks with an age domain. But here the issue is not indexing, but, more importantly, ranking.
If the question is only about indexing, then everything is easier, I would recommend doing it on a new one. Create an html sitemap, as well as sitemap.xml. On the hub pages (the main categories most visited by robots) rotate the links so that, depending on the frequency of the robot's visits, new links to the site pages are slipped to it each time. Well, also drive the robot to hub pages with a list of links to new pages that are not yet in the index, using the "page crawl" tool in Webmaster.

Answer 3

The older the domain, the more search engines will trust it.

Answer 4

If you don’t use SEO, then the new domain will be much better.
There are no problems with indexing, everything immediately flies into the index without problems
