PR6 Domain
 

How much is a PR6 Domain Worth.. I just registered one :)

$5

Damn! I paid $10 for a PR5 domain. I must have gotten ripped off!

actually hit me up on ICQ i might be interested

What domain did you buy?

Doesn't the page rank disappear quickly if you just throw up a site unrelated to what the page was originally about?

I sell them for $200-300 when I pick them up.
I have PR5's at my site that I get rid of for $90.

It also depends if the site has an inktomi listing, dmoz listing, yahoo listing, etc. but those are the average prices. See sig.

Is this a service that you guys would like to see introduced? I have picked up PR5 and PR6 domains really easily over the past 2 weeks or so. I just picked up a PR7 2 days ago, but that baby ain't for sale :)

As I know when the domain expires it loses the pr. I think it's pretty sure

Rembrant that's a fairy tale that googleguy would have you believe. I haven't had one yet loose it's PR. Especially if you go to web.archive.org and throw up a copy of the old site, and link to your other sites to transfer your PR. This way is pretty much foolproof and hasn't failed me yet.

How do you go about hunting down expiring domains and determining of they have existing PR ?

you arn't worried about just stealing someones design?
what happens when the guy who let it expire checks the domain and sees his site exactly as he left it up there.

If he can't afford to renew his shit, he can't afford a lawyer.

IF its adult it could be worth a bit. Mainstream, probably nothing...

If you pick them up during the Google dance, you can avoid the penalty. Do a search on this board on the experiment SEGuru did for this domain, I've managed to pick them up with very few penalties to date.

I don't know about the penalty, but if a domain expires you pick it, it means the domain has been down for a little while, and im sure some of the sites then take down the link..

at least this is what i have seen as well as a few of my friends.

This is incorrect. The google dance is/was(who knows what they are up to with these rolling updates) only the period when google propogates it's new database to all of its servers. This would have nothing to do with google applying an expired domain filter. If anything it would make sense to have the OLD site up when the GoogleBOT came crawling so they see the same site in their cache. It's when the site becomes radically different that problems would arrise and a red flag could be raised. What they then likely do is compare the site against their existing cache, and if it is radically different they run a whois check. They simply don't have the processing power to whois check over 4.2 billion documents for no reason, so they become selective. The dance has nothing to do with this.

I'm just basing my claims based on results that I did and those of SEGuru's. Thus far, it seems to be correct but if you have a theory as to why some domains are penalized and some others aren't, I welcome you to post it, I'll strongly consider all points. Regarding the 4.2 Billion documents, I'm pretty sure Google just does WHOIS lookups on the root domains, not each page google indexes. That being the case, there are well under 60 million domains in the gTLD's so it is certainly feasible for Google to do.
