I have an opportunity to purchase some domains from a big company that has decided to change directions and take down about 20 + websites. Some of these have top 10 serps for generally competitive phrases - but won't for much longer.

My fear is that if I spend the money on the names, the whois will change, dns will change (and site will change) and G will throw down the gauntlet and make the whole thing worthless. I can try, but it is unlikely that I can keep the old sites.

The domains aren't worth much on their own - only the dozens (and hundreds) of quality links they have.

any suggestions or thoughts?

Thanks
