Saturday, April 28th, 2007There won’t be any new posts for about a week since I’ll be in Mexico.
Increasing Links
Thursday, April 26th, 2007Obviously the best way to get links to your site is to create useful content that will drive people to link to it. Unfortunately, this is a chicken and egg type problem because if you have no traffic, no one will link to your content no matter how useful it is. They won’t ever find […]
Odds and Ends
Wednesday, April 25th, 2007I like this site. It has been around for 11 years and gets a lot of search engine traffic. Unfortunately I don’t know much about the subject matter, families or I would probably make a bid. Note the current owner isn’t including any CPM revenue in his financials.
============
I have decided that I am going to […]
You’ve Got To Act Fast
Monday, April 23rd, 2007Check out this listing on Sitepoint, that I just ran across. The site is getting about 5000 uniques per day which is quite a bit of traffic. He claimed $500 in revenue but was not running any CPM ads on the site, which would probably bring this up to $1000 based on the level of […]
Foiled Again Trying To Buy A Website
Saturday, April 21st, 2007I put in a bid on this website the other day. The seller claims that he paid $18,000 for it a few months back. I don’t know if I believe him, but I guess it doesn’t really matter at this point anyway. The reason I was interested in this site is because it has decent […]
Purchase Pitfalls #3 - Website Content Risk
Thursday, April 19th, 2007A lot of the websites that you’ll find for sale are going to be dedicated to a specific niche topic. As a buyer you’ll need to evaluate the relevancy of the topic in the future. Recently, there were a lot of Borat sites for sale. Some of these websites earned quite a bit of cash. […]
CNNFN Mentions The Web Game
Monday, April 16th, 2007CNNFN has placed an article about small timers making cash on the internet. It’s worth a read. Basically it mentions a couple guys and how they managed to make some profits from the internet using google ads.
One thing that is interesting to me is how many people are making good cash running some websites, but […]
Linkback Generators
Saturday, April 14th, 2007Last fall I bought the website, www.mymixeddrinks.com. It was ranked in MSN and Yahoo for some keyphrases, and had some small amount of traffic from that. It doesn’t have much of a presence in google and it still doesn’t.
When I purchase a site I try to have a plan for how to expand the site […]
ROI of Website Ownership - Part 2 - Flipping For Big Returns
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007A few days ago, I discussed how a website can be a great investment earning a 50% or more return for you. There is another way to earn even larger returns. You can buy and sell websites in the same way that people flip real estate. Buy a site thats not earning to its potential, […]
Sitepoint adds a new category
Monday, April 9th, 2007Sitepoint has added a new category to their marketplace called “Premium Sites”. I like the idea of having a separate category to list the bigger sites. It is pretty tough to buy a website over at digitalpoint because the for sale category is filled with trash sites going for a few bucks. This is a […]
