I want to buy a domain name preferably $1000 or less. What I expect for $1000 or less is a domain name that at least has a pagerank of 3-5, and an alexa ranking of 500,000-2,000,000

I am aware of these sites:

sedo
afternic
ebay
pool

The big problem I am finding out is that domains go for $500, and have 0PR and N/A alexa. Similarly, domains going for $3000 or even $100,000 have 0PR and N/A alexa. This is disturbing. How can anyone sell a domain for that much money if it isn't even alexa ranked? I know alexa ranking isn't 100 percent accurate, but it DOES give an idea of what kind of traffic a site gets. I just dont understand how to go about buying a domain the right way I guess.

If I want to buy a domain for traffic and pagerank, where do I go? So far sedo and afternic has shown rip offs, unless I am searching their sites wrong.

you aren't going to be able to buy a domain with alexa ranking and pagerank - you're going to need to buy a website. Big difference.

and as far as alexa goes, why do you care?

.... based on activity from those who use that particular toolbar, whether that's straight forward usage or whether it's manipulated to improve the numbers usage is a separate question.

Where do I buy a website instead of a domain?

and as far as alexa goes, why do you care?

Well I want backlinks and pagerank because that would be the whole purpose of spending the money to buy a domain/website. Although alexa ranking can be manipulated, an alexa ranking of "N/A" tells me the site doesn't get much traffic.

Also, why spend $500 to $1000 on a pagerank 0 site with no traffic when you can just pay $10/year for a brand new domain?
