Reconstruct a dropped website but Wayback Machine not showing anything

[notNewB]

I know for a fact the website was live from 2020 to 2022 and thrived. It was a client website and I worked on it. It had 30k monthly traffic and generated revenue.

I knew the owner disappear and the website took 3 years to be dropped. Someone else bought it on auction and know I am buying it off of this guy.

I found Google sheets I used to track pages on this website so I have a list of all URLs, but I cannot get the content these pages had - I was hoping archive would assist on that (I remember searching it on Archive multiple times throughout years and it used to show the history). But for some reason, Archive isn't showing anything for this domain now.

What alternatives do you think I have?

I will try and remember it but you get other sites which have images or data from older websites called I think Snap something gives images of the website style .

Did you only check it on the wayback machine or did you check other archivers, like archive.md, etc?
Even if it was removed from wayback (which is pretty odd on itself, I must admit), it must still be on other archivers.

It could have been excluded from the indexing via robot.txt or requested to be removed.

Wayback Machine did have some "unannounced" server issues going back 2020-21ish and lots of things couldn't be found on there... so maybe it's that.

Try another cache if the site isn't listed in any cache id maybe guess it's been excluded.
