Buying a PR network

by TurkishDelight

Hi guys,

After some advice, and I am sure there will be many different opinions on this. How much would you expect to pay for a website with a PR of 2/3/4/5, with DA and PA of over 30?

I know people sell 25 PR4 websites for around £6000, but wanted to know what is deemed a reasonable price.

Thanks, Steve.

    Steve,

    A couple of things: I would never make a purchase based on PR. You do understand that PR applies to pages rather than whole websites? So a heavily trafficked and linked home page could have high PR but the internal pages could have no PR. Also, PR is easily faked so be sure you're not getting a misread of PR.

    Secondly, it's pretty shakey ground to compare the sales price of one web site with another. Every site is different as is every niche. So two seemingly similar sites in size could be worth vastly different amounts depending upon lots of other factors. Just as one example: a site full of original and unique content is worth way more to me than a site filled with lousy filler content even though both sites may have the same number of pages.

    Thirdly, what makes a site valuable is the amount of targeted traffic coming to it and the amount of revenue it generates. Other considerations in purchasing a site are way less important.

    Finally, a web site is only worth what a ready, willing, and able buyer pays for it. You may think your site is worth $5,000 but if the most you can sell it for is $100 . . . then your site is worth $100.

    Good luck to you,

    Steve

      Hi Steve,

      Thanks for your answer, I can understand it's hard to put a price on a site, I was just looking for ball park figures.

      I would only really want to use a site to produce links to use myself or perhaps rent. I see lots of offers for ranking sites, but wanted an idea of what is a reasonable price.

      Can you offer any assistance?

      Steve.

        I understand that you're looking for domains and not complete websites so here a more useful answer.

        Here some ballpark figures from someone that researches domains on an almost daily base and that works with multiple reliable domain brokers (which I can't share unfortunately as it becomes harder to find good domains).

        Dropped:

        PR3 $50
        PR4 $100
        PR5 $200

        Expired

        PR3 $100+
        PR4 $200+
        PR5 $400+

        This is when you want something decent, obvious always check the actual back link profiles so that the pagerank is justified.

        GoDaddy is famous for over priced PR3's btw so I would avoid them.

          Thanks Nik0,

          If the website had some content on it, that was relevant, would a that push the price up much?

            If it's an expired domain then you can run into copyright issue's so I wouldn't put a price tag on content that isn't yours. Could turn out more expensive then what the content is worth.

          So if Godaddy is no good, then where is good to look for them, other than finding a broker?
