Strange World Of Website Reselling

Started by webomatica · 10 months ago

Not sure how I got stuck on this website (SitePoint) but it's pretty interesting stuff. You can buy domain names or established sites. It's kind of fascinating, especially how much some sites go for based on how their traffic. Some of the sellers offer up some stats on the traffic of the s ... Continue reading »

    When buying sites you're usually doing it for the backlinks, but if you get all the content as well it can be a great deal.

    What's interesting is the metrics provided on the auctions that do well:
    existing revenue / month
    uniques / month
    page views / month

    so $50,000 for around 750,000 page views a month.

    I think I'm in the range of 100,000 to 350,000 page views a month. I did 61,000 views on Valentine's Day -- but that was my highest day ever (previous was 44,000 in a day).

    the first comment could be nuked. I don't get uniques listed in my stats so I have no idea what a high number of uniques is.

    The other thing I wonder (which is touched upon in some of the auction comments) is how some of these sites are intended to be self-susatining, or if they're a blog, the content is pretty generic - anybody could write it (celebrity news).

    But I must say your blog (and mine) has unique content. I wonder if the personality of the blogger would survive a hand-off. (or maybe I'm just flattering myself). I really can't see ever selling this site as a lot of the content is rather personal.

    As far my stats, I can't get into details due to Google Ads, but I'm about 1/2 of where you're at. I do have uniques listed and I'm hoping to get up to 1,000 uniques a day.

    Sounds like //engtech is comparable to technosailor!

    If you want to go bats looking at your stats - i'd recommend Google Analytics. It's free.

    I can't use Google Analytics with Wordpress.com because they use it globally... so I get a watered down version of it.

    Kinda sucks.

    Just a bit of clarification. Lorelle on WordPress and the Blog Herald are not for sale, though I can't speak much for the Blog Herald. I can however speak for Lorelle on WordPress. ;-)

    Psst. She'll sell it for a Nikon D200.

    I've got the inside scoop.
