    WTF: Blog sells for $10K based on PR alone??

    http://www.liewcf.com/blog/archives/...-for-usd10000/

    Mainstream Malaysian blog sells for $10K based mostly on the fact that it has PR6. What do you guys think? Real or UNREAL hmmmmmm.....
    Blog Oh Blog is young (5 month old) and do not have high traffic (1000+ visitors/day), but it received good rankings such as PageRank 6, hahahahahahahahahaha No.44, and Alexa 35,331.

              that's very stupid..

              and the buyer will be even more stupid and ignorant...

              PR means shit.. I know PR1 getting 50k google a day for more than 5 months now..

              and I know PR7 getting 100 uniques a day from google..

                one of my blogs is top 1000 in alexa and quantcast it gets only 200 uniques a day..

                when will people learn about the basics of the biz?

                  I find that extremely hard to believe... With a PR 1 domain it's just too difficult to get enough pages indexed to generate 50K a day. Unless you have a shitload of inbound deep links and a totally flat site structure, giving you thousands of PR 1 pages but only PR 1 on the root... which is unlikely.

                      alexa is based on PAGE VIEWS not UNIQUE VISITORS

                      it may only get 1000 uniques, but doesn't mean it doesn't get 35,000 page views...

                          But PR does get certain link and post brokers moist.

                            well i dont know thats really a fair statement..

                            plenty of sites get lots of traffic with no pr.

                            that being said . if you are #6 on a highly competitive term for adult and making 1k per month on the spot and you link a bunch of pr6 sites to it from the main page your likely to boost your spot . spot #2 might make twice as much money as #6 = 1k per month extra profit from 1 pr6 site. You make back your money in 10 months from just 1 link.. spread that across 5 or so sites and 5 links and you make your money back in 2 months

                              a fairer statement i think is pr by itself is useless. if that pr6 was due to a lucky backlink that will vanish next update then its likely useless.

                                I agree, but he was talking about google specifically.

                                  Smells like linkbait scheme to get that alexa number up, lol.

                                  I doubt it really sold.. sounds more like a scheme to inflate alexa & gather linkbait links

                                      I have a mainstream celebrity blog with a very solid PR 6 and around 100 PR 5 pages, etc.. that gets about 7,000 visits per day if I'm remembering the stats right. I'll take $10k for it.

                                          Hell, I've sold <keyword>blog.com *domains* for $10k, with neither site nor traffic. Not that much money in the grand scheme of things. I'd estimate the SEO usefulness of a PR6 domain of questionable provenance to be about the same as the SEO usefulness of a good keyword domain, so I don't find this story surprising.

                                          However, it's just as likely to be some sort of fake story in support of a pump-n-dump scheme of some kind.

                                            I used to have some BS PR7's that pulled around 1k uniques a day... sold that shit off back when PR meant a LOT more than it does today.

                                              His alexa is low because its a site for webmasters..duh blog themes...
                                              And his auction says it makes $1k/month so where you pull based on pr alone from?
