Be On The Lookout

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

I have been checking Sitepoint frequently lately, and there just aren’t a lot of quality sites for sale right now. The few decent ones that have popped up got sold pretty quickly so I missed out on even trying to evaluate. This game takes patience. Has anyone bought anything recently? I would love to hear [...]

Getting Dugg!

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

One of my websites got dugg the other day! I really love it when that happens. If you want to launch a successful website, getting to the frontpage of digg is one of the best things you can do to get exposure. If I was a little more serious about this blog, I would be [...]

ShoppingAds Followup – AuctionAds & ShoppingAds Both Suck

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

A couple weeks ago, I got an email from Patrick Gavin from MediaWhiz. He was starting a new ad network called ShoppingAds. I thought I would give them a shot since my AuctionAds campaigns have done progressively worse month after month.
I am sorry to report that ShoppingAds is no better and possibly worse than [...]

The Big Leagues

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

While I was reading Markus’s blog, I stumbled across this post. Markus runs the largest free dating site, and he pointed out a sales listing of one of his competitors. I guess he’s gloating about putting them on the auction block.
The sale is posted at iMergeAdvisors. I haven’t heard of them before, [...]

Final Fantasy Fan – One Year In Review

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Last year on October 3rd I purchased my Final Fantasy site for $15,000. Since it has been a little over 1 year, I thought I would update you with the results of my first attempt at the webmaster game.
The total earnings for my site were $10,739.06. Assuming, I could sell the site for exactly what [...]

Lets All Try To Learn Something

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

So the other day I mentioned the site that was for sale. It was quickly bid up to $15,000 while monthly incomes were shown as about $300. I looked at the traffic, and in my estimation its getting enough traffic to produce somewhere between $600-$1000/mon. Its hard to say because the niche is Singapore, and [...]

Site For Sale

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

I ran across this listing the other day, and have been keeping my eye on it. It looks like it is a little out of my price range right now, but I think the site is solid. Revenues could definitely be increased given the 3000 uniques per day the site is receiving.
It is [...]

ShoppingAds Review – Auction Ads Out?

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

I just received this email from Patrick Gavin of TLA and AuctionAds.
Maxwell, thanks for your support of AuctionAds over the months since its launch. I know that you were making more money in the early months than recently and I want to change that! We have been working hard on a CPC product [...]

Website Income – September 2007

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

I am now back from Egypt. I had a blast. Check out this photo of me on a camel.

On to business…
My total earnings for September was $4912.70. This was a little disappointing, since it was a drop from last month. There is a good reason for the drop however. I lost some traffic due to [...]
