Expired .net domains with a past

The domain steadily lived in the escort services niche (Ataköy Escort, etc.) from 2011 to 2023, then sharply switched to online casino/gambling (PUTRAWIN78) in 2024, and in 2025 to empty placeholders and a list of dofollow backlinks. The final niche does not match the one for which the main link profile was built.

Originally (2012–2013) — pharma spam (selling generics without a prescription), then (2014) — diets and weight loss, later — periods of empty placeholders and parking, since 2022 — a general health blog. The niche changed radically, and the final one does not match the original spam niche, which likely accounts for most of the backlinks.

From 2002 to 2018, the domain was consistently used as a site for selling truck and trailer parts and accessories. The final niche before the drop and after restoration was online casino and slots (MILAN69), which is completely irrelevant to the historical link profile.

From 2012 to 2019, the domain was consistently used as a site about Japanese erotic art shibari/kinbaku (author project Yoroi Nicolas). After 2021, the niche shifted to outright spam: in 2024, a doorway page with Chinese porn content was found.

From 2018 to 2023, the domain consistently operated in the essay writing service niche ("Write My Paper..."). In 2024–2026, the niche shifted to a Chinese adult doorway: titles with porn keywords and keyword stuffing. The niche change is single but radical: the final niche does not match the original one for which backlinks were built.

From 2012 to 2016, the site consistently existed as a page for the indie game "the D-4EC84D." From 2017 until the end of the observed period, the content degraded: the page displayed only a placeholder with the domain name or an empty page title with no content.

From 2011 to 2018, the site consistently existed as an unofficial site for the French commune of Villate (Commune de VILLATE). In 2019, the niche shifted to spam (garbled characters in the page title), followed by a long period of empty pages and redirects, and in 2025 the domain became a Vietnamese online casino (MISO88).

From 2018 to 2022, the domain was consistently used as a religious-educational blog featuring a Bible quote. In 2025, it abruptly shifted to an online casino site (Foya88), which completely devalues the previous link profile.

Initially and for most of its life, the domain was used as a spam site selling "Viagra" (pharma spam). In 2021-2023, the niche shifted to a Thai site about earning money from games, and in 2024 — back to pharma (Viagra in Thai). The final niche does not match the original one, which is likely where the bulk of the backlinks were built.

From 2008 to 2023, the domain consistently represented the religious organization "Hermanas D-E7EF34 del Corazón de Jesús" in Venezuela. In 2025, the niche drastically shifted to gambling (ALFATOTO, slot88), which completely devalues the historical link profile.

The domain started as a women's medical center site in Regensburg (2005-2016), then shifted to a Japanese site about seals (2017-2019), after which it turned into a spam network with Chinese gambling and porn content (2020-2022).

From 1998 to 2005 — a stable travel/sports project "Progetto Torino 2000" (Italian, likely related to the Turin Olympics). After 2005 — a complete shift: domain parking, Turkish porn spam, poker, random placeholders, and finally (2026) — Chinese adult spam. The niche changed chaotically more than 10 times.

Originally (2010–2016) a Japanese site for buying/selling used computer games. Then chaotic changes: an empty WordPress blog, a hack by Turkish hackers, an SEO blog, Namecheap parking, and finally (since 2024) — the Indonesian online casino Sky777.

From 2013 to 2024, the domain was consistently used for the site of the tavern 'D-02F5B9asilyevich' (restaurant/establishment niche). In 2025, there was a sharp switch to the Kraken marketplace (darknet/circumventing blocks), then in 2026 — to an undefined 'chat corner' with empty page titles. The final niche does not match the historical one, which likely accounted for the main link profile.

Initially (2001–2002) — Guggino Productions, then consistently from 2008 to 2016 — a game development portfolio. After 2017 the niche changed erratically: redirects, gambling (LonteQQ), parking, a Japanese beauty school site, and in 2025 — Chinese porn spam. The final theme is completely irrelevant to the original niche and link profile.

From 2006 to 2022 — a Japanese real estate site (Tokyo real estate, real estate agencies). In 2024–2025, the domain was dropped and repurposed into a Chinese football streaming site (中超直播 — "Chinese Super League streams").

Originally an Indonesian web design and computer services site (2001–2016, with a gap), briefly returned to the same niche in 2018, but switched to a Russian-language placeholder in 2021, and since 2022 has become an agent for the Sbobet888 online casino.

The domain started as a Japanese piercing site/store (likely with the page title «ピアス通販»), then shifted to Japanese content about colored diamonds («カラーダイヤモンドの不思議»), later to Japanese e-commerce for walking gear and camera accessories, and before the drop it showed Chinese spam content «快三下载-欢迎您» (gambling/lottery). Niche changes at least 3–4 times.

Originally (2015–2019) — the site of the European research project COST Action TU1302 on satellite positioning for road transport. Then multiple changes: gold-mining spam (2019–2020), a Japanese detective site (2021), Chinese domain parking/shop (2022), and since 2025 — Chinese porn spam.

Originally the site was a Portuguese-language blog/portal "D-97D076" (2005-2014). The niche then shifted to Japanese finance content (2017-2018), and later to Chinese adult spam (2021-2024).
