Saturday, June 30th, 2007Today I worked with the seller again. He transferred the domain to me. I really like godaddy’s process for domain name transfers. First of all, its free which is a bonus. Secondly, and most importantly, its super easy to do. It would be really nice if all webmasters just registered their domains with www.GoDaddy.com. I […]
Sale In Progress
Friday, June 29th, 2007Yesterday I bought the website that I was talking about. I don’t think disclosing the auction I was interested in affected the price too much. The last three sites that I have purchased have all been by directly contacting the seller and negotiating a BIN price. Thats why I have two bids on the auction […]
I’ve Just Bid On A New Site
Thursday, June 28th, 2007I am probably shooting myself in the foot here, but I wanted to let you in on my thought processes as I try to purchase a site. Calling your attention to the auction might run the price up, but I don’t care too much either way. There are always more sites going up for sale. […]
Hosted Marketing Pages - The New Rage In SEO And How You Can Profit
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007Today I got an email from Textlinkbrokers.com. They have accepted my sites into their text link ad inventory. In the email they also mentioned that I could create a “Hosted Marketing Page” and get paid for that too.
Essentially, they send me a webpage to upload to my server, and then I link to it […]
Should I Keep A Website Or Sell It?
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007Once you have taken on the risk of purchasing a website, there is really only two reasons to want to sell. Either the website takes too much time to run or you can reinvest the proceeds of a sale at a higher return.
Buying a website is risky. Sellers often don’t give enough information to […]
World Of Warcraft Fansite Sells For $1 Million
Monday, June 25th, 2007The sky is the limit in the web biz. I just read today that the website Wowhead has sold for $1 million. Thats an incredible sum for a fansite of a video game franchise.
I think that this site generates a lot of revenue by selling in game items. I don’t know the details of all […]
Microsoft Adcenter Emails Me
Thursday, June 21st, 2007I got an email from MS Adcenter. They are now allowing advertisers to bid on Content Ads. This is just like the google adsense network. I haven’t yet figured out how to be an Adcenter publisher though. My guess is that they only have a few select sites running the ads currently. They probably don’t […]
Avoiding The Garbage - Proxy Sites
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007Almost every day I will see someone trying to sell a proxy site. A proxy site allows people to surf any webpage they want from a location that may restrict internet access, like work or school. If you want to look at porn while at school, a proxy site is a good way to do […]
Beginning Search For Flip Candidate
Sunday, June 17th, 2007After my last big buy in March, I have been holding off on buying another website until I recoup some of the money. Since it has been three months, I am going to start up the search for a new site. I don’t want to have so much money tied up in websites, so I […]
Hottie Blogger Selling Out?
Thursday, June 14th, 2007Another interesting sale at Sitepoint just popped onto my radar a day ago. It appears Career Ramblings, of which Jane May is part owner is up for sale. Just a couple weeks ago I analyzed another blog for sale called NetBusinessBlog. The interesting thing is that both of these blogs were started within the last […]
