Something funny happened today.

G'day,
Has anyone seen a deleted domain still listed in good old Google?
I was searching for the html snow script, you know the one that looks like snow flakes falling on the page!
I'm wanting to build a couple ring tone mainstream sites in early 2006
and wanted to start it off with some winters layout.

Anyway the funny thing I found is that a domain still with pr2 and 3k indexed pages in google
and 5k something indexed on yahoo, didnt check any others.

How can this happen? I thought up until today that google is great with their system in controlling this.
Have you seen something like this before yourself?

Was it a good choice to register this domain without checking if it was used as a se scapper?

Hmmm interesting. You should also check it in archive.org and alexa to see its past performance, just to be sure it's worth re-activiating for your own project.

Taking a look at archive,org 2001 it pointed to members.yahoo and it looks like it
was powered by FindWhat & SearcHippo
Some sort of html spam list of keywords, I can see why they dropped it.

links will be gone tomorrow (yahoo might have gone already) as I just logged into cpanel to see some stats on the few hours it has been hosted and noticed Google's bot hitting the domain a few times a hour.
the name is html-portal . com (lol i even gave her her very own ip)
on the root of that domain I dumped the bot stats.

How I found it was "HTML snow script" 5th link down.
