expired domain with pr8 what i can do?

I would bet that the PR is not real. So just skip it.

A PR6 is probably not as likely to be fake since a PR6 can be bought for a couple hundred bucks but a PR8 would be thousands and possibly as high as $10,000+ - especially on someplace like flippa

Are you not checking your domains for fake PR before you buy them?

That having been said, there are thousands of fake PR6's for sale out there... but you can still find quite a few valid PR6's as well. Not nearly as many PR8's though.

Do whatever will generate the highest return on investment. If you have to buy content for your blog then that might not be the way to go. You should be able to sell a PR8 homepage link for upwards of $20 per month.

I am sure you are very experienced, but how have you evaluated that PR8 domain?

To get a PR8 you need an active link from a PR 10 site or a bunch of other high PR6, 7, 8, 9 link that will stay on the home page on the originating site.

Have you been able to verify these links? Don't want fellow Warrior's getting ripped off.

You can check if the PR is geniune by using the PR Checker tool...
Go to prcheckerdotnfo

This nifty little tool will give you the info you need.

If the PR is real you could sell links on it for a nice sum of monthly recurring fees.

I buy a lot of high pr domain's and I can tell you this is more than likely "Fake PR". It might just redirect to a pr8 site.

In order to check if its real pagerank I do the following:
1. Use MajesticSEO to check backlink velocity history to see if someone has temporarily inflated the pagerank
2. Use The Wayback Machine to see what the website actually used to be. If its not stored in there then chances are its not a PR8 because Wayback would have crawled and stored backups regularly.
3. Check WhoIs information for it...and other domains which are expiring which have high PR. As alot of the time the same dumb person has registered these fake PR domains in their real name and the WhoIs info comes up the same
4. Check the WhoIs and see when it was last updated.
5. Google info:mysite.com to ensure that your site is coming up
6. Google it to make sure it hasnt been penalised and removed from Google's index
7. Check the quality of backlinks pointing to the site, are they spammy or quality links
8. Check the quality using Opensiteexplorer or MajesticSEO to see number of linking root domains

Hope that helps!!! Let me know how you get on

The discussion is going in wrong direction.

What if the pr is legit?

How would you utilize that domain name to get maximum benefit from that?

Pray. "Expired" is the key word. There's a slim chance the PR is real to begin with, very slim chance that even if it is real, it won't vanish anyways.

If the name is a good quality domain, build a serious business on it. If it's not, then put up something decent related to whatever your primary site is and link to that site to feed juice into it. I wouldn't sell links from it unless you want a lot of pissed off people once the PR drops or goes away. It'll be more likely to go away if you approach it with that mindset anyways, because you'll be less likely to focus on putting a quality site on it that will be less likely to lose the PR.

I also go for quite the site, as this will not be with you, probably fake PR

Come on, use some brains dude. An "expired" PR8 domain? Really?

Do you think Google just hands out PageRank? Any PR8 domain is a huge authority with thousands of backlinks, visitors, pages etc.

I think you've been punk'd with fake PR.

Whenever you see a domain for sale with PR 7, PR 8 label - save your money!

No one in their right mind will ever sell such a domain/website because they can't just do some senuke and xrumer blasts with high PA/DA blog posts backlinks to make the PR N/A to PR 8 and sell it on a "well-known for spam" webmaster forum.

Always do a domain check with Wayback Machine (That's not enough anyway).

Thanks to all for the information about the fake pr.
