For traffic that they recieve is the most comon factor I see. As for the age of the domain I dont really get that whole part... because the engines know it was reciently re-registered so it doesnt benifit the domain.

Thanks!

So it means that there is no use of buyed an old domain name. It would just equal to the new domain name.

NO, if the traffic it gets is realtively good then you can quickly turn the site into a profit for yourself. This is very effective and relatively easy to do. Personally I prefer making new sites because I know that they have never bee used and therefore I can only submit it to places I feel would get the best results. I can also increase website traffic super fast. Hope this helps clear that up a bit.

Maybe the links that it have got or the referral site that have their link.
Sometimes expired domain also give a quick traffics to your site.
I think it is a bit of helpful.
But for SEO I dont think so.

Google gives more importance to old domain names so if you can find a good expired domain name for your website then it will definitely be helpful in SEO and if that expired domain name has some traffic also then more good for you.

Is it worth buying old domains? If domains are with PR then is it useful? Please share your knowledge about it.

I'm not sure that I would purchase old domain unless it has excellent content with large potential of profit. In some cases established premium domains could worth the price, but in general they are overpriced I suppose.
