My point was more to the fact that the reason you see nothing is because its been a recently dropped/caught domain, and has been purged by google as to not display, or removed from the index.
There is lots of conflicting arguments about whether or not this removal is permanent or not, and I'll just leave it as saying it "depends". They say that google removes the site from the index and discounts all current links to it, and makes the owners start over. From experience this is completely false.
I have several dropped domains (purchased this year) that had all Page Rank, Backlinks, Serps and traffic return to them a few weeks after taking them over. Sites have solid rank, serps, and steady traffic, most of it from google.
I also have several domains that are 10-12 years old, all dropped, and most hold well paying positions on google after a little work. Most peoples understanding of drops and the way google handles them is just not correct. All appeared to be "banned" or penalized after taking them over, and throughout the drop process.
I'm no master, but its not always as cut and dry as it appears, almost everything has some sort of work around. And nothing can be told by a single search, in 2 weeks that page could show 200 backlinks, OR could be as useless and worthless as mentioned.
Just so this isnt totally useless info, follow this time tested method.
1. Catch Dropped Domain.
2. ???????
3. Profit.
