Worth buying PR ranked domain?

[sunken]

Is it that much value to buy a PR ranked domain? I think it probably would be for the traffic, but I've found that PR and traffic don't always match. Also without the site, wouldn't it die out?

I also agree with you that its not always that pr which brings traffic to any site but only the content. As they say content is the king. I have seen many 0 pagerank sites listed in the top 10 lists in many keywords.

To me, I prefer to buy fresh domain and then build up the PR. It's more fun this way and you don't have to spend much. After all, it's also more challenging and exciting.

start always with new domain and than build your PR its seen nice when your site having no PR and after you work and get PR......

If you are getting a nice deal then i would say go with the PR domain instead of a new one. It will be easy to get this domain ranked in SERP.

Also make sure PR is not fake and website is not banned by google before.

Buying a PR domain wont help bcoz most of the times it will lose pr in the next update.

Buying a PR domain is worthless unless you buy the whole site with whole pages and linkings.

Ya... Old is gold like that age always matters for a domain. And also Google and other SE really has importance to these sites. But before that check whether you are buying the relevant domain for your business...

[benivolent]

Just check over the quality of website and the PR, if you can check the quality of back links that the website has..........

[PeterRossy]

PR itself is not a valuable parameter. You must check if the PR was gained naturally or not.
The answer depends on it

If you are going to buy a domain having PR, then you need to be sure that the domain is having valid links and not non-supported links.

I'd start with a new domain. You're more in control of the links and pages.
