Monday, April 9th, 2007I am going to take a look at two possibilities that scrolled across Sitepoint this weekend.
#1. Movie-vault
The first thing you should know is that Movie-vault has been up for sale before. The site didn’t sell then because the asking price was way too high. I even inquired about purchasing it, but quickly realized the seller […]
Potential Arbitrage Situation For The Brave
Friday, April 6th, 2007I keep checking in on the Macfreeware site mentioned below. The auction is still sitting at $27k. This is what I would consider to be the upper end for a site like that.

Macfreeware
Thursday, April 5th, 2007I got outbid on this site. Its sitting at $27000 right now. Thats about my upper limit. I am sure the site is undermonetized, but I can’t justify spending more right now, since the price I would have to pay limits my upside potential. I don’t think this site will go for much above $30k […]

My Turn To Show John Chow Something!
Monday, April 2nd, 2007Optimizing a site’s revenue is the best way to increase the underlying value of your web business. The alternative, increasing traffic is much more difficult. No one is better at squeezing more money out of a website than John Chow. His personal blog “Make Money Online” is a great read for those of […]
Buying vs. Building… The Easy Path for Website Success.
Sunday, April 1st, 2007There are a couple of advantages to buying a website rather than starting one from scratch. For me, the biggest advantage is that it is easier for me to keep my interest level high when there is money rolling in. I am constantly tweaking, trying to find the best way to squeeze an extra dollar […]
Going, Going, Gone - Fuckedcompany.com Is Sold
Sunday, April 1st, 2007Yesterday I wrote that the famed website, www.fuckedcompany.com was for sale. Well apparently you needed to act fast because it has now been sold. Who bought it? The TechCrunch did.
Now the big question is how much did they pay? The news article I read about it said that The TechCrunch will now roughly double […]
