Wednesday, May 30th, 2007A few days ago, I wrote about this site. It sold for much more than I thought it would bringing in a total of $13,000. Wow. I guess the new buyer didn’t read my analysis. I suspect that this buyer must have some big plans for the site’s existing traffic and the niche involved to [...]
Domainers Beware – Don’t Be The Greater Fool
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007I have been reading a lot about domaining lately. I understand the basic idea. Register a www.xxxxx.com domain that someone might just type that in to their browser directly rather than searching. (type-in traffic) Then earn cash off the traffic when they click on one of the 50 advertisement PPC links.
It sounds like a great [...]
Blog Sale Gets Plug
Monday, May 28th, 2007Yesterday I wrote about a blog sale listing that I had run across. What do you know, John Chow wrote about the same sale. In yesterday’s post I was just trying to show that one has to really think about how much time will go into running a website and adjust the price they are [...]

Sunday, May 27th, 2007While I was browsing Sitepoint today, I ran across this listing. This is a blog for sale called NetBusinessBlog, and its about earning a living in the online arena.

Kontera Is Now Up And Running
Friday, May 25th, 2007I have been running Kontera’s ads for a couple days now. Unfortunately their stats are one day lagging, so I only have one day of data to report. Yesterday, running Kontera, I made $15, so if that revenue trend continues, I should do pretty well over the course of a month. It appears Kontera generates [...]
Enabling Kontera Ads
Thursday, May 24th, 2007Today I added Kontera ads to my forum, IpodWizard. I have read somewhere that I can expect to earn about 1/3 of what I get from google ads, by implementing Kontera. We’ll see how it goes. I think my site will have a lot of relevant ads since the subject matter deals with ipods.
Some people [...]
Amazon.com Affiliate Program Vs. Auction Ads
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007I consider my Amazon.com affiliate experiment a failure. I was originally going to run the Amazon ad for a month to compare the revenues with AuctionAds. Unfortunately after 7 full days, I have has exactly ZERO conversions. Not only that, but I only got 35 clicks with the Amazon program. I would get 35 clicks [...]
The Internet Gold Rush 2.0
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007Back in 1999 and 2000, an internet startup couldn’t go wrong. Throwing up a website and advertising a little was like a license to print money. The money back then came in the form of stock market IPOs. A year later companies were doing everything they could to disassociate themselves from the internet.
The gold rush [...]
Website Valuations – How Much Is It Worth?
Monday, May 21st, 2007I was browsing Sitepoint today, when I saw this auction. In the comments of the auction listing, there is an argument about the price of a site. The seller wants way too much for his site. He is asking $285,000. His monthly revenues are about 4000-5000 from Google Adsense. At this level of income, it [...]
