It’s rare to find a page at PR4 with less than 50 links on it so with a simple PageRank Calculator that actual translates to a midway PR2 to your page…
Great point! Keep in mind, by purchasing a domain you are not only getting the link juice from the home page, but also any other page with incoming links.

This keeps the table format and you can select the column that all the domain names are in; copy and paste into the text editor.
You can also use MS Excel to keep it in column format. However, it can be a nuissance at times.

Be sure to click-through many of the backlink sites and seek the anchor (it’s best to open the source code and source for the URK (no http://www.) if the URL isn’t in the code:
1. the link was removed
2. the website was redirected to another and that domain has the link
If you check a variety of backlinks and the URL isn’t in the source code – ignore it and go to the next URL.
I have found about 7 PR2-PR4 sites for $5, but none have any links pointing to them in G, Y!, or MSN. I suppose the webmasters dumped the links and the PR is not accurate so the domains are now worthless? ...or did the engines drop the site from the index due to domain expiration and I can get still get some link juice out of it?
