I have a handful of domains that I made years ago and didnt do anything with...age must be a big factor because a lot of them are now a PR0. I know PR0 is technically a rank but is it better than a PR n/a at any significance?

  • As far as i know PR N/A are assigned to those sites that are yet to be indexed. Once the page is indexed its a PR 0(after the next algo update of course!). Age has nothing do with it if the site/domain has no backlinks whatsoever. so i'd say its pretty much worthless.

    EDIT:: I could be wrong. :p

      PRn/a can be indexed & cached.

  • Something most people don't realize is that PageRank, although named after Larry Page, also means the rank of the page. So a link from a PR0 would pass some link juice yes, but putting it on a new page that is unranked would not...unless of course it had linkjuice passed from some other place etc...

    Getting a link from a PR0 page to your website is actually greater than a PR unranked page link from a PR10 website, because the page actually has some juice.

    Whether or not that link would actually help you make money depends on all sorts of factors other than just a simple link though, if your going to link, try and optimize it.

    Another way might be to just 301 them to your new website, and pass the pagerank that way.
  • N/A can mean a lot of things.

    Probably no current link indexed. If that's the case a little quality SEO can bring back the PR.

    Selling it that way or using it won't be of any value.
  • ok so PR0 links have SOME link juice however small. cool that's all I needed to know.
  • I think now DA and Trust Flow of a domain are as important as the PR of the domain.

    • You people need a math lesson. PR scale is really a log scale,
      give or take, with tweaks. Any page indexed must have a starting
      point. PR n/a just means no update yet. In reality, all indexed
      pages will have PR0. That's the starting point. It does not mean
      it has zero PageRank. Log (1) = 0 because anything to the zero
      power is 1.

      In theory, when google started, all pages indexed had PR0.
      But , using the algo, many sites jumped instantaneously
      to PR1, 2, 4, 5 and so on, based soley on those first PR0 links.
      The sheer number and quality of the PR0 links sent sites to PR1,
      then PR2, and all the way up.

      You do not need a higher PR link to raise your PR. If this were true,
      then no site would ever rise. But as you move up, because it is a log
      scale, you need a ton more as you move up Remember, it's a log
      scale tweaked.

      Just like earthquakes. A earthquake with magnitutude 8 to a 5 is not higher by 3,
      but literally thousands of times more powerful. Like sound. To get
      twice as loud, you need ten times the power.

      So the higher the PR of the link, the less of those you need.

      How does a site get to PR10? With a PR11 link? Of course not.

      Google has tosed other stuff into the calculation, as well as lowering
      your PR for selling or buying links.

      In short, a PR0 has value. It passes PR. Not anywhere close to a PR7.

      And any page that is indexed should have a PR0, theoretically, if updated.
      That is the lowest PR available, but again, it does not mean PR = nothing.

    I've already posted a couple of old PRn/a link examples, I can post a bazillion more but I'll have to start charging for my time.

    Just because a page is old has nothing to do with PR (already proven).

    • that's the thing. I bought these domains a while back (5-6 years ago) and did ZIP with them. It's when I first got into the whole IM game and didnt really know what I was doing.

      Reason I was checking up on these domains is because I still pay the reg fee every year and decided to stop wasting money, clean house and let a bunch of them expire at this point. I wasnt even going to check PR. I was going to check things like G trends for keyword usage and see if I could do something with them.

      Only thing I can think of is type in traffic because of keywords in them and they are parked. no backinking. no social media. nothing.I don't even see how G picked them up..I haven't made a dime with them parked.

  • Seems a few people know here math also.
  • In simple maths, anything that itself has a 0 value may not provide any advantages to anything linked to it (.. if it just limited to math topics..)
