I agree, its about quality content, back links and careful planning.

Cardiffgigs, thanks for the comment. PR2 with no backlinks and no content sounds like it happened quite a while ago though I suppose no algorithm is perfect. The one time I do see this still is when a domain and website with PR are sold and the new owner scraps the website. The PR is often kept until the next update. The PR updates are more dynamic though these days and are “rolling” updates as Matt Cutts has said. Remember this is different from toolbar PR.

Remy, firstly thanks for starting the topic. I think its a topic where there is a lot of misinformation floating around. Its common for sellers in certain forums to justify high sale prices by saying they regged the domain in early 2000 for example. Go for the version 2. The more this is discussed, the more informed sellers and buyers will be.

I agree with what you have said. I had a domain name that was parked for 2 years with no back links or any content. It achived a PR of 2. But I dropped it and was snatched by company to be later dropped again.

Thanks for your instructive post, Barry !

It seems like I have not taken enough time to write my article and there were a some additional aspects I didn’t explore.

So I might be good for a v2

I will certainly quote your thoughts then and also some interesting discussion points that came up in some French domain forums like http://www.forumndd.com.
