Be On The Lookout

By Max | October 23, 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 about your experiences.

    I’m very interested in one offering which, coincidentally enough, involved something that I needed or was interested in. Not sure if I want to buy it or not since I’ve never done this sort of thing before.

    If you have not already done so you might want to check a site like http://websitebroker.com . They have a lot of new listings of sites for sale every day.

    Seems things have picked up now. They seem to follow the general B2B business rule - business is slow in Sept/Oct and Dec, and picks up Jan/Feb and July.

    I agree those sites are like fast selling hotcakes. Don’t you worry you will find one if its really meant for you.

    If you know what you’re looking for you can get some great deals on sites like these!

    I agree thatyou should be specific on what you are looking in surfing the net. But how about if you wanted to know something that is still unknown to you:)

    I bought a games/video site in Oct 2007 for $400, thinking I could make $3-5/day based on traffic of 700 uniques/day. Turned out the seller had various traffic programs pouring traffic into the site that disappeared after a week so despite optimizing the adsense layout and hooking it up to my other game sites to create traffic it is only making $1/day. Lesson learned and it will still be in profit by the end of 2008.
