Experience with bringing blocked (Google SERPs) websites back from the dead?

So I'm purchasing a really strong website with just one hitch- Completely de-indexed from the Google Monster.

In short, the strong cause of a mostly legit link portfolio including .govs and .edus galore, mostly because the owner was a professor and expert on a specific topic and wrote a lot about it.

Site is over 20 years old and has sat for a long time (10+ years) without updates. Meanwhile, original owners son has sold links, etc. on the site (pretty spammy stuff) to monetize. Now, selling the site completely cause traffic is down.

I've repaired manual actions in the past with success but this one is less obvious as to why it's banned. GSC isn't helping either.

Question is this- Anyone have experience in identifying the root cause of bans and has anyone seen a site which cannot be brought back from the dead?

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
