Google PR is a bad way to determain traffic.

 

[theparrot]

PR is from links not traffic.... do you link to domainspa from the parked domains?

 

[bidawinner]

Mrs Jello , PR has nothing to do with traffic..

your site has been up a while ..

I did aquicky search 3 of the main termsyou want to be found for on google.

Domains names
cheap domain names
register domain names

Domainspa does not show up even inthe first 3 pages of search

Of course you show up #1 for "domain spa" but then asyou know..now one is searching for domain spas

I'd say you get maybe 100 uniques a day..simply because of some back links and taking into consideration you are being found for a couple of other search terms

But Hey that PR 9 sure is a turn on ! lol

.....PR has nothing to do with traffic..

I have some websites (similar domain value) with a PR 0 which get good traffic and others with a PR 4 which get less traffic. There does not seem to be significant correlation between PR and traffic but sure there is some relationship to a degree so I would not say PR has nothing to do with it Bid.

Also think GPR is way over-valued and over-rated by domainers in general.

Unless you are selling domainspa.com, I don't think this is the appropriate forum.

pr9 is very rare tho nonetheless. congrats.

 

[SirSpider]

Wow! and Congratulations. Especially since the PR9 seems to hold up for www.domainspa.com and domainspa.com. That is rare.

You might consider selling a couple of text links (just don't overdo it) for some really big bucks. Seriously. I have seen PR7 sites getting over $200 per month for a very limited number of text links. I have no idea what a PR9 link might be worth. Good luck.

 

[Jernet]

I pay $100 a month for a pr8. I would pay $150 for a pr9.

 

[j8jweb]

People pay me $363 per month for one link on a PR7 site with zero traffic

A PR9 site, standard market rate would be $500 per month for a link. If you look around though, I would not be surprised if you could get advertisers paying up to $1000+ for a link.

that's highway robbery! :cheeky:

Yes ... business ethics ... depends if you want to be competitive or make serious cash! :bandit: You're probably right though, might be a bit mean to charge those kind of rates to people less familiar with link prices.

Hi j8,

Not really... in the link selling game, I don't think it's unfair as long as your customers are happy and willing to pay it... let them.

I, personally, would never pay that much for a PR7 link just because it was a PR7, but that's because I know a lot about link value and true worth.

In fact, I have one PR6 link that I pay almost $1,000/month for, but that's because it sends a LOT of traffic. So, it's all relative.

Cheers,

Wesley

Does Google rank links on sites hosted at a parking place like Fabulous? I have several hundred domains parked there with no custom links to my own non-parked sites that I really want to promote.

I think I read somewhere that Google ignores links on parked sites. Can someone enlighten me on this please?

Thanks!

 

[fryman04]

Just do a redirect and point your domain to some site like ebay or amazon... let it suck up the PR, then take out the redirect and put a website on it. Voila, you have an artificial PR 9.

This is done by many scammers out there that sell links saying they have a high PR, and in the next PR update it goes back to cero.

 

[Dale Hubbard]

Blimey! Backs up my theory that PR is basically worthless. Thanks for that fryman04.

If you thought PR was worthless, wait till you hear about all those bot-generated traffic scams...

Scammers know that a fool is born every second, so there is still a lot of good fishing to do.

 

[rjerina]

i see people who pay $2000 for a text link on a pr9

how much traffic do you think we get daily?

[BLazeD]

Wow, that is interesting... hadnt heard of it before.
