Exclusive: ggwinner may not be a new domain…
The very mysterious entrant, ggwinner, owned by Mr. X with an address "somewhere" in Ireland, may have a problem. It appears that ggwinner is not new. This can be verified here:http://www.prtag.com/expired-domains-archive_W0yZZ2008QQmZZ6QQdZZ8QQsZZ2.htm and here in the most excellent site by jmcc: http://www.hosterstats.com/historicaldns.php?domain=ggwinner.com . However the domain did expire, so it was indeed newly registered and this may allow it qualify. Mr Mulley will have to make a call on this, should gg get to the top. There are obvious advantages if the domain previously had a large number of inbound links. Re-registering the domain can power up those links and help enormously. However in the case of gg it doesn’t appear that there are a significant amount of inbound, if any - as this search shows: http://www.google.ie/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=link%3Awww.ggwinner.com&btnG=Search&meta=
My own feeling is that no advantage has been gained, the domain is newly registered, so it probably should be allowed. Any other opinions?
