    You should take into consideration of the age of the domain and whether the domain is adsense ban or not.

    There is also the issue of backlinks being wiped out. Not physically, but in the Google algo. It has long been suspected that if a domain is dropped for long enough Google wipes out all the link juice. If you re-establish a site on the domain the PR may show for a while but may completely disappear at the next update.

    I see...Thx all.

    I got one interesting domain name i want to buy, but checkpagerank.com could not verify its PR. It says "Cannot analyze if the PR is Genuine at this time". Should I go ahead? What's the risk?

    Thx
