Ahaaa. The familiar post about Google PR. To be honest, it all depends on who the buyer of the domain is. PR might not mean as much to some as it does for others. However, the nature of having good Google PR in general would mean that the site has quite a few quality back links and lots of content. That alone in my opinion increases the value of any website. But, I would never buy a site myself based on just PR alone. The buyer would still need to like the domain name itself. A site could have great PR and lots of content, but the domain could be worthless to someone who does not feel the name relates to what they intend on using it for.

I hope that helped.

I agree with snowbird, however I think there are a lot of people that would be willing to pay a decent some for a high PR domain, even if it's because of a lack of knowledge on the subject.

Problem resolved I guess? Domain names for me is not a big factor on buying a website. It all depends on the buyer on how to get his site on the first page of google. High pr means higher earnings after all.

You will never know in which way the certain domain name earn the PR
I have seen the cases when such PR was fake
beware

I wouldn't be too influenced by PR these days. Even Google itself seems to give less importance to it now.

I've had a couple of odd experiences with PR. A friend of mine had a PR9 (yeah, wow!) which I thought I'd like to play with. So he sold it and transferred it over to me and the PR dropped to 0 almost immediately. It was OK, we resolved the matter amicably but I wouldn't buy a name I wasn't keen on for the sake of PR again.

Another strange thing was that I registered a domain about six years ago (a drop catch) and it sat for years while I did nothing with it. It was a PR4 for all that time. I thought that I might as well stick a little site onto it, which I did a few months ago. Result? PR0 within the week.

PR can be very fickle.

What did you do to the site? did you perhaps eliminate some important stuff?

 

[MrsBiscuit]

I didn't eliminate anything. It had been parked for all that time and as soon as I put a little site on it, with what was intended to be useful content, the PR dropped. It was as though Google had noticed it for the first time in years and said how come it's a PR4, it shouldn't be. I dunno.

No TLA, and a bit of adsense on it. But I thought that Google liked adsense, don't they?
