It's worth noting that the converse is also true. If you want to rank easily, buy a domain that wasn't renewed that used to have good SEO - I can fairly regularly pick up sites with a few thousand white-hat links and and a 4 or 5 PageRank, restore them to the old cache, and start from there, for a couple hundred dollars. Those links would cost tens of thousands to create.
There are probably a lot of people that would be pissed at me for displaying that information publicly, but oh well.

I wrote this[0] near the beginning of 2012; when I wrote it, it was a mystery, but I've since heard from a Google engineer that this happened because the Yellow Pages people purchased a domain that ranked highly for the relevant keywords. In other words, you can buy pagerank. [0]http://lee-phillips.org/hitchYellowPages/ http://lee-phillips.org/hitchYellowPages/
