About Revised
Why Revised exists
The web is losing its memory. Every day, domains carrying real link history from Wikipedia, Reddit, and academic journals expire and go dark. That's link rot, and what it costs is years of accumulated trust, lost for no better reason than a lapsed renewal.
We catch that history before it disappears, verify it properly, and publish what we find, for people who'd rather work from an asset with a track record than start from zero.
What we do
We find domains with existing links from trusted sources, verify that history, and publish it as a searchable directory. We never hold, register or sell the domains themselves, so nothing we write about a listing is written to move stock we own.
Listings carry verified history from sources including:
- Wikipedia, the most heavily cited reference on the web
- Reddit, where a thread stays linked and quoted for years
- Academic institutions: .edu domains from research universities
- Government sources: .gov domains
- Major news outlets and established trade publications
Why it matters for AI
Authority counts for more now that AI assistants answer questions directly. ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity lean on the sources they've learned to trust when they cite anything or make a recommendation.
Those are the same sources behind the domains we list. A domain cited by Wikipedia, academic research, government data, or an established news outlet carries a signal these systems already recognize.
How we work
We'd rather publish the evidence than ask you to take our word for it. Every domain goes through the same checks before it's eligible to list:
- Real history: the links behind a listing are genuine editorial references, not manufactured ones
- Contextual relevance: the categories and themes behind a domain's history, shown where we can establish them
- Published metrics: referring domains, verified site history, and Revised Score, all visible before you reveal a name
- Clean-history checks: screening for spam, blacklist flags, and adult-content history
Link rot
A large share of links break within a few years of publication. A widely cited Harvard Law School study found that roughly half the hyperlinks in Supreme Court decisions no longer resolve. Scale is the point here: this is lost opportunity, not a curiosity.
When a source like Wikipedia links to a domain that later expires, the trust behind that link doesn't have to evaporate with it. We verify what's there, list it, and let someone else pick up where it left off.
Who uses it
Mostly people who already know a domain with real history is worth more than a new one. SaaS companies building authority. Publishers establishing topical expertise. E-commerce brands working on product-page credibility. Professional services that need to look established on day one, and startups trying to get past the slowest part of SEO.
Our standards
Most expired domains don't make it into the directory. A candidate needs:
- Verified archived site history snapshot history, not just a registration date
- Referring domains from sources we can name and check
- A clean screen for spam, blacklist flags, and manipulation signals
Nothing from a PBN or a link network gets listed at all.
