A: It can be a good idea to by an expired domain, but there are some really "shady" deals out there and you can find you have purchased a lemon.

People regularly use redirects to fake a domain's PageRank. The domain may have been banned or have a penalty.

Generally speaking you would want to register an expired domain that hosted content similar or relevant to your own. You can check it here (http://www.archive.org/index.php).

You should NEVER purchase a domain expired less than 45 days, as it can be reclaimed by the original registration holder.
