In expired domain spam, we buy domains that expired with good PageRank and link popularity. But there are companies who approach small Businesses or small mom and pop sites, personal blogs and offer a price to buy that domain. Unlike expired domains this method is more popular and more valuable.
Leading SEO companies have been using this strategy to increase the number of sites they own and operate. Big SEO companies have a large portfolio of domains that they own with good PageRank and link popularity. They do this to make sure they don't have to contact other sites requesting backlinks from them and they can add their client links and artificially increase the link popularity of their client sites. We get requests all the time from prospective buyers to the domains we own. If you see the email ID most of them will be either from a SEO or link building company or just a SEO consultant.
We also get lot of offers to buy domains with good link popularity and high PageRank. Out of the blue we get an email saying the seller has a list of 100 domains with good link popularity and they also mention the list of sites they are selling and their expected price. Biggest problem with buying these domains, either these domains will be owned by the individual or company that is selling and they will remove the backlinks which they have control over.
So virtually you are left with a domain with zero backlinks and the PageRank will automatically disappear in the next toolbar PageRank update when Google detects no links coming to that website. Rather wasting money to buy domains that seem to have good PageRank and links better, buy new domains and work hard to gain natural link popularity of that domain. Search engines don't like you buying domains with good link popularity and using them for ranking other websites. There are tools that search engines use to monitor these sorts of data.
Buying good popular blogs are much easier and safer. Most free blog owners don't give any personal data while creating their blog. Also market values of low level blogs are much cheaper and some blog owners are willing to sell low PageRank blogs to throw away prices.
