Expired Domains with PR

Will not harm your site. But it will not benefit your sites as link popularity.

Name and shame the person if they sold them to you on a public forum.

sorry about your loss. no harm done to your site, but as IOC said, no good either….

You should always thoroughly check out a site before you buy/sell a link or do a link exchange. I’ve noticed a bunch of people these days wanting to do link exchanges that offer absolutely no quality. They always want to do a 3-way trade, your link goes on a site that receives no traffic and has 200+ outbound links, but has PR..and you link to their main site.

Recently I had a guy offer me a link on his PR4 site (a member here!..compare this thread to this thread..still up to the same scams, PS, he edited his post on PAP because I threatened to expose his scam if he didn’t make it clear that his site is garbage), I went to the homepage, it looked solid…I tried browsing around and every single navigational link lead to his main site…I checked archive.org and the domain hasn’t had an active website in years, so basically its just a domain with pr. While someone linking to you won’t ever hurt you, if you trade/sell a link to these scammers it could affect your site.
