great info Matt!

Is there anyway to "ask" google to reconsider checking the site located on such a domain?

@daveashe Hey Dave, Its quite possible that Dave didn't buy this domain from another person, but from the normal domain market. Meaning that he chose a domain name, went to a registrar to see if it was available, it was so he registered it. But only realised later that it had a checkered past. One concern I do have is that do old parked domains showing related ads have trust issues with Google. As Matt says it's good due diligence to check any domain name's history in Archive.org. Cheers, Dave

@HomesteadExpert Using "nofollow" on these pages is just silly. A better choice would be to use "noindex" metatags on the category, tag and archive pages to help ensure that your archive pages don't get indexed and instead your actual content does.

@babbababba2007 huh? Matt said pretty clearly that the answer is yes, a domain's history does affect it's current user.

Matt:
Assuming that this guy already HAS this domain, are there any techniques to "clean up" its reputation?
