Hi

I'm looking to buy a domain that has page rank, the places I've looked so far have had nothing suitable for the niche I want to target, so just looking for recommendations of some different places to try.

Thanks

    PR is pointless and nothing more than eye candy. You would be better off to forget about it for now so you can find a domain you really want and apply what you have learned about backlinking, etc and build the PR up yourself. It's easy

      It's interesting, actually ...

      This question was asked back in February 2010, but it's interesting that even as long ago as that, some people knew that PR was pretty pointless. And with the gradual but inexorable deterioration of the significance of PR ever since, what prophetic words they turned out to be.

      Nowadays, of course, we can all see for ourselves (from even minimal keyword research, or whatever) the ever-increasing frequency with which lower-PR pages with fewer but relevant backlinks from other lower-PR pages are consistently outranking higher-PR pages with more but irrelevant backlinks from other higher-PR pages, in Google's SERP's.

      I think what's changed (from a WF perspective), over the intervening two and a half years, is the far higher proportion of Warriors who now appreciate that the key components for ranking highly are site quality and relevance of backlinks.

      I'm among the many here who hope that Google will eventually abandon the PR system altogether, rather than consistently decimating its significance with update after update while also trying to maintain the fiction that it "means anything much". :rolleyes: :p

        Unfortunately the only fulfillment is the one you have made up in your head because even 2 years ago people who knew SEO knew what what it was good for and its the same as it was two years ago.

        Nowadays, of course, we can all see for ourselves (from even minimal keyword research, or whatever) the ever-increasing frequency with which lower-PR pages with fewer but relevant backlinks from other lower-PR pages are consistently outranking higher-PR pages with more but irrelevant backlinks from other higher-PR pages, in Google's SERP's.
        You've been corrected on this a few times before and you have ignored the correction which is fine as long as you are in the general area talking about SEO. Its fine and dandy cause there you can all laugh at the SEO types and continue drumming away at how article marketing is the only thing that works. There ignorance can be bliss and we don't mind. We don't mind seeing you happy. We leave you to it. When you are in the SEO area however WE DO talk real SEO.

        PR of the page in a particular serp has never ever mattered by itself because it HAS ALWAYS been that PR and anchor text work together. You have confused yourself that that has changed but it never has. If the PR of a page is matched with the anchor text then it is a factor and a strong factor. You think that when a page has high PR and it is outranked by a lower PR page that it shows it doesn't matter but that s like claiming that a PHD degree doesn't matter because a Microbiologist is not recommended when one is searching for a janitor (no disrespect intended to janitors).

        Totally erroneous kind of thinking. The subject on the page, the anchor text of the link and the PR have again always worked together. Of course a PR7 page about apples will be outranked By a PR 3 page about the conflict in the middle east when a searcher types in "Middle east conflict". That s a duh moment and does not prove even a drop of what you claim it does.

        I think what's changed (from a WF perspective), over the intervening two and a half years, is the far higher proportion of Warriors who now appreciate that the key components for ranking highly are site quality and relevance of backlinks.
        Again you are kidding yourself. Thats among people who don't deal with SEO on a regular basis in the Main WF area. In here that issue has not been settled because we have to look at real results and multiple examples of a page being ranked higher and higher the more PR pages that link to it with the right anchor text keywords. Your position that PR doesn't have much use is in fact not held by many regulars and is betrayed by real world tests. IF it were so then BMR links would never have worked earlier this years and truly private networks not found by Google would no longer work - but they do. You see we understand that the third component that you leave out is authority and that google cannot take all pages and give them the same voting weight just because they are on the same topic. Who votes for you has always been important and whether we go to social signals, likes or whatever it always will be a factor unless we want to give the spammers a world they love -who ever has the most no authority votes wins.

        I'm among the many here who hope that Google will eventually abandon the PR system altogether, rather than consistently decimating its significance with update after update while also trying to maintain the fiction that it "means anything much". :rolleyes: :p
        Alexa the only fiction is the one you have been writing for the last year or so. those of us who actually confine ourselves to testing in real life have countess examples of sites that rise when they get high Pr links. To be honest your denial that Pr still matters in link building is like arguing that the sky is not blue on a clear day. Its just been tested too much. You are living in a fantasy world and in that world all your prophecies are fulfilled because - well its your fantasy and you control your own. Reality however is what its. Getting a high PR link with the right anchor text to this day is a HUGE ranking factor in the search results.

        Is it the only factor? No but then its never been.

    Hi

    I have got a few with a page rank from godaddy.com in the auctions section.

    Though page rank isnt that important traffic is - so if you see something useful that has good traffic go for that instead.

    kind regards

    This thread lay dormant for over 2 years. What makes you assume all of a sudden that the OP's question is still of concern?

    Clearly clueless.

    I'm sorry, but I think some of you are confusing PR as a ranking factor when you say it's pointless (which it still is not) and the value of a relevant backlink from a page with actual PR.

    To say that PR has no value is a little misleading. You have no idea what the intentions of the OP are for the domain, or domains, he is looking for.

    Perhaps he is going to repurpose the domain, build an information based site related to his niche and throw in a few relevant, in-context links to his site or sites from it.

    You tell me which you would rather have... A relevant in-context link from a PR 0 webpage or a relevant in-context link from a PR 5 webpage?

      I'd rather have a relevant in-context link from a PR-5 webpage. And so would everyone else here. But even if page rank were worth only 0.1% of what relevance is worth, that would still be true for all of us, because 0.1% is better than nothing, which is why the answers to that question don't demonstrate much, I think? It's a question with only one possible answer, but the fact that there's only one possible answer doesn't tell us anything about the relative value of page ranks to anything else.

      If I may say so, to me a much more interesting question is "Which would you rather have: a relevant, in-context link from a PR-0 webpage or a PR-5 link from a non-context-relevant site?"

        Ok now would you rather a pr5 relevant link or 10 pr0 relevant links?

        Fair enough.

        Everything else being equal, I'll take the PR 5 link, and wouldn't even think twice about it.

          Well of course as would any sensible SEO . If what Alexa were saying was true then the person that can set up the most domains and write enough relevant content to them would win.

          You know as well as I do that there is not a single competitive serp you look at in Google where that is true - all of them have links from PR pages. The ideal world is of course both but claiming Pr doesn't matter much is just total nonsense.
