    What is the point of buying a domain based on its google PR?
    The domain usually only has the page rank because people linked to that site. If you buy the domain and change the site and what its for, people will most likely remove all the links to your site since they aren't needed anymore. So really that page rank isn't work much unless its the same site with the same topic. Right?

    I thought this had more to do with google page rank then domains so i posted it here instead of the domain forum.

    it's more of a domain question so it should be on the domains forum. just me though.

    anyway, I think most people buy domains with PR so you have a certain "link exchange power". ;)

    not to mention the fact that anyone can immediately monetize pr4+ by selling link adverts.

    PR is too wide parameter to use it when you buying domain name.
    We also look at
    - Alexa rank
    - number of back links
    - how many pages of site are indexed
    - how often googlebot visit the site
    - content quality
    and ....

    A lot of people do buy domains only on the basis of PR but it isn't necessary that the same PR will remain after the next PR update.

    The sale of links. Primarily.

    Or if you continue the site that was there previously somehow, or make a site with the same niche, that would be better. Links won't go
