Buying a domain with PR

Hi

If I buy a domain that has PR I heard if the contact address changes then Google looks upon it as a new domain and the PR gets taken away or something? Is that true or rubbish?

I am looking to start a new site and have an offer for a PR5 domain on the table, but dont want to buy it if the pr5 wont stay

Thnx

 

I gave a friend of mine one of my PR5 domains and it never changed.

 

It can. I've heard the best thing to do is ease the transfer. First the nameservers, then wait a month(make some updates) then the personal info, etc.

That could be rubbish but by nature I'm paranoid

 

yea i think it does take away the PR which is junk which is garbage

 

I can't see it happening ... PR is based on backlinks, as long as the backlinks remain the PR should remain. It's a different story for SERPs, the content changes so therefore the SERPs will change but SERPs and PR are not the same thing.

 

It should be fine, I think you are all being paranoid!

 

Rubbish, you dont have to ease the transfer or any other voodoo. If the backlinks still support the pagerank it will stay.

 

I wouldn't change anything until this update is done. Then you have 3 months to play with it and secure the new location and PR.
Many sellers take away the good links to use for other projects. It's unfortunate, but true.

 

i also think it wont change..google's smart policy is for adsense only.....not PR

 

I've bought quite a few PR domains, including PR5's, they will not go away because of DNS/info changes.
Keep the backlinks, or even build more backlinks, and you're ok.

 

I never heard such.

 

no problems to expect
