If you're buying expired domains you'd be wise to learn a little bit about how to spot google penalties.
It would suck to buy a domain where a bunch of shady SEO had been done by the previous owner. It will make ranking in google that much harder.

you can simply go to google and type
site:domainnamedollarstore.com (example)
if google returns no results = no bueno
I'm familiar with this syntax but thought that Google's punishments take the form more of a sliding scale (which diminishes general authority or prevalence for certain searches) than a binary system (good/show, bad/hide). And that simply checking the index as above wouldn't reveal too much actionable info. Eg. if a domain is categorized as having adult content.
I'll try to point that out in the next post..
