Many experienced webmasters know that the older the domain, the more trust in it in the eyes of search engines. However, the opposite is equally possible - the former owner violated the rules of search engines, and this domain was banned due to violations. Therefore, for many, the question arises - how to check the domain for its presence in the ban list.
It is necessary
Ability to add your site to the index of search engines, skills in using webmaster tools to track the status of the site (each search engine has its own set of tools)
Instructions
Step 1
If you are registering a completely new domain name, then you will have no problem thinking about whether this name is banned or not. It cannot be banned as it is. has just been born. At the same time, you will start from scratch and will have to make a lot of effort to bring this name to more or less decent positions in the search engine results.
Step 2
Still, the old domain name has many advantages, but they can be used only if this name is not banned. It is also worth considering the specifics of the work of search engines - they will give preference to your site with the old domain name only if the structure of your site and its content will correspond to the structure and content of the predecessor site.
Step 3
However, even in the case of a successful creation of a site assigned to a specific domain, you may face the fact that search engines will refuse to add this domain name due to its exclusion from the search.
Step 4
How to check a domain? Many webmasters advise to register a site using the form for adding a site to the index (the so-called "addurilka", from the words "add url" - "add a link"). In case of a positive response from the service, everything should be fine. However, even if you did everything correctly, you may receive a message that the server is unavailable or receive an error return from the service.
Step 5
Understand one important point - when accessing a site, it first checks for the very existence of the project (using a request to the server on which the site is located). The ban check is carried out strictly after the previous step.
Step 6
Based on the above, it is easy to conclude that it is impossible to check the domain for a ban.
Step 7
You can check a domain only after purchasing it and placing at least one index.html page on it. Only after that you can easily add the site for indexing, after which you will find out whether your domain is banned or not.
