How much could one sell a PR5 site for??

W/ say 30 + PR5 pages on it??

[schmeg007]

I think the price of a site would be more dependent on uniques/pageviews per month rather than on a simple page rank algorithm.

[spidersam]

Naturally, there would be a different price for a site w/ heavy traffic given advertising possibilities, etc.....I'm speaking only in terms of SEO....

A lot of SEO'rs go around and buy up sites solely for the purpose of the page rank and linking opportunities....in that sense, what do you think the value would be?

[toddieg]

from experience i can tell you that you probably won't get much for it if you try and sell just because it has a decent page rank. page rank is practically meaningless unless it has really good google rankings for some good keywords. (which is pretty much saying, your site needs to have good traffic) maybe you could advertise that your site currently ranks #1 for 'keyphrase1' and ranks #1 for 'keyphrase 2' etc...that would make it look more appealing than if you just listed it as a page rank 5 site for sale.

in today's day and age it's really not that hard to go out and get a domain name, get a couple backlinks and get a PR5. anyone can do it. The hard part is getting that PR 5 page to come in the search engines. :wink:

I agree. I think that is a dumb question. What good is a PR5. I can show you all kinds of PR5 sites that get 10 uniques a day or less.

And then what is the theme of the page. If I want to sell gold fish, a PR5 site that is about tennis is absolutely of no interest.

I'm still shaking my head. This is the dumbest question I've ever seen.

PR is almost meaningless. When are you guys going to wake up and smell the coffee?

I think you guys might be misunderstanding my question. I'm speaking in terms of search engine optimization only!

This would not be a sale for "look how much traffic you will get if you buy this site" or "look how good it is for key term 'x' ".....I'm speaking for SEO terms period.

In other words, if someone offered to sell you a site with 50-75 PR 5 pages. To me, each of those pages could be valuable place to place links to sites I'm trying to SEO...does this not make any sense?

My thinking is that regardless of the traffic it genereates, it can be seen as valuable real estate for an SEO'r (again, I'm not speaking about the general public here) , as people are always going for backlinks of over PR4.

Ah! So you don't buy the site to actually promote anything or use to draw visitors, you just use it for crossslinking. It doesn't matter what the theme or content is about it is just a high PR link page.

In that case why sell it? Just sell links on it. If you think it is so valuable why sell the cash cow? Why not milk it yourself?

As solely a crosslinking platform I'd give you a $100 for it.

that's a damn good point bob!

i wouldn't even give you that much for it ...

it is true. people are more inclined to exhange links with your site if it has a high PR (even though it's always changing.... today you might have pr 5, and tomorrow it might be 3..u never know) in this case, why don't you just use it as a 3rd party link exchange site for youself instead of selling it to someone else for pennies? you could then even take it a step further, and turn it into a one-way link exchange page. for instance, you give them a link off of the pr 5 site, and they link to a separate site of yours (creating an incoming-only link..thus boosting your pr faster). wouldn't this be better than selling it to someone for $100 ?

plenty of free or cheap PR6 links on the web. absolutely no reason in the world to buy a PR5 site for PR

[Johan007]

toddieg is correct that PR changes al the time and toolbar PR is always slow to update. Best not try and buy your self votes cos Google ranking has always promoted its self as trying to be democratic.

[John Scott]

I don't think I'd buy a PR5 site based on the PR. PR5 is pretty much a freebie. If it had a lot of traffic, however, then I could see some value in it.

[ferret77]

do pr5 links sell?

do you think they would sell in sets of 10 on 10 different dominas?

[ferret77]

thats the spanish for domains

[awall19]

PR5 could have a bunch of value for say sex toys, adult stuff and things that would be hard to get links to. Other than for shady stuff I dont think I would buy though. I dont know as much about link buying as many of the other people here though.

I don't want to interrupt, but this is the funniest thread I've ever seen... I'm still laughing I'm sorry...

I'm still shaking my head. This is the dumbest question I've ever seen.

You guys are mean...

One more thing, ferret77:

do you think they would sell in sets of 10 on 10 different dominas?

If you want to write "domains" in spanish the correct way is "dominios" not "dominas" if you are talking about website domains.

[seoguru]

I do think buying PR5 , isn`t a smart move.... You can easily get good PR4+ links everywhere.... for free, try some directories instead...

[ferret77]

oh so sorry,

how could forget the masculine plural

[mazsola]

I would need to know more such as how much traffic, content, etc.

Very true indeed!

[jmcstuart]

Has anyone seen a posting board / sales site for buying entire websites based on PR value?

Just wondering how far off the estimated values posted here are....
