Is it possible to rehabilitate a domain previously used for porn?

I recently spent almost four figures on a domain that I felt was undervalued, but had I done my research I might have thought again. It's a DA50 .com domain that should have decent appeal in an active niche, but... it's link profile is pretty grim, 2000-odd referral visits today, 404s to pornographic videos it was hosting. It doesn't read like a porn domain but I believe it was a Mega or WeTransfer competitor back in the day, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was shut down.

Can I rehab this domain? As an authority domain it's proving effective - I optimised for some keyphrases in the niche and it ranked nicely. My plan is to build a brand around it and produce solid content in the niche, try to generate a bit of ad and affiliate link revenue before flipping the domain, but I'm not sure there's any way back since it has such a sketchy history?

I'd welcome any insight, even if it's to tell me I'd have been better using the cash to pay for Christmas. ;)

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? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

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
