    So since PR is dead, less consideration given to PR when buying domains. I see some other metrics like Alexa rank, DA, TF etc . Are used
    What are more important metrics to consider when buying domains ?
    Thanks:)

    depends on your intended use, do you want to develop or resell?

    If I'm looking at domains for SEO purposes then I wouldn't pay much attention to PR. Instead, I'd look at Page Authority (PA), Domain Authority (DA), Trust Flow (TF), and MozRank. I would also use sites like AhRefs to look at the quality of links...
