Hello, I've got a domain that was a forum for an online gaming guild that I didn't get paid for so it's just been sitting there.

I'm about to have to renew it if I don't sell it and I'm worried that no one will buy it because it was on an unattended forum for almost a year and now when you search for it all you get is spam links like free Viagra and enlarge your dick.

I've taking it off line and parked it but to stop from getting more but is there anything else I can do?

Thanks

I think it will take some days to remove your site from Search engines.

Place the offer now on the related marketplaces. That is not instant if you want to sell your domain name as soon as possible

That can be large problem. It will take time before that domain reputation is cleaned.

I think will be good to create a new very simple website, create a sitemap, submit it to Google Webmaster Tool and Bing Webmaster, and then wait that the content to be cleared.

I assume that is impossible to clear domain name history. Because that is History...
In SE the information will be stored there.

The history is replace by a freasher memory So if you will have new content, the old history will be replaced. Of course, in services as Archive org the history is keeped.

Yes you can "clear" the SE index. Simply redirect (301) all the pages that are indexed to a page with the content you would prefer to see.
It will take around a month to three months for the changes to be effective.

Indeed, 301 redirect tell to Search Engines that pages has been moved/removed. I totally forgot about this.
