What are abandoned domains?
Abandoned domains are websites that have been marked as unavailable, but still have links pointing back to it. This means someone could buy the domain for their own website and add a 301 redirect to their own site. For example, let's say you buy an idle blogspot account with 40 backlinks pointing back at it. You then create a new website around that domain name using your own domain name instead of blogspot and start writing content there instead of on its original page because now that page is a dead link.
An abandoned domain is a website that no longer exists, but the backlinks are still pointing to it. Some SEOs and link builders actively search for these types of domains. They buy them and then use a 301 status code to redirect the backlinks to their own domain.
Abandoned domains are websites that are no longer active, but have backlinks pointing to them. An abandoned domain could be a website that was taken down for any reason, or simply because the owner decided to let it go. Some SEOs and link builders search for these types of domains specifically because they can buy them up cheaply, redirect all of the backlinks to their own domain, and then make even more money than they did before.
Here are some backlink examples:
