Search Results for ‘buy blog’
I once in a while see somebody trying to sell a website which they claim has a pagerank of X. And there is a lot of buyers that base some of their valuation on how high the pagerank is. Who wouldn’t buy a cheap pagerank 7 site?
The problem is that the seller isn’t always right - and most of the times they know it. They use a technique to have the Google toolbar show another websites pagerank for the website they are trying to sell. So how can you determine whether or not the pagerank is real?
The technique is to have Google believe that the domain is another website. This can be done with redirects on the domain pointing to a high pagerank website. I won’t go into details since others have already done so.
You can check if a website is showing another websites pagerank by going to Google and enter the domain name in the search form. Note that you should check the exact domain - including the subdomain - of the site where you see the pagerank. That means that you have to enter www.example.com if that is the URL shown in the address bar.
When you do that Google will return a result showing the title, “description” and URL for the site that the search engine sees as the website for the URL. This URL needs to be exactly like the URL you entered in the search form e.g. www.example.com. If it shows another URL it means that the pagerank you see in the toolbar is most likely belonging to the that site, and not the one for sale.
The next time you’re valuating a website based on its pagerank. Check if the pagerank is real and that it is not likely to drop after the next update.

There is a ticket website for sale at NamePros it is called ohioticketsales.com. There isn’t much info in the thread, but according to seller there is a weekly revenue of $2000+ through ticket sales. And from that revenue there is $280+ profit depending on which tickets has been sold. It should have been steady like that for the last 10 weeks.
The site is powered by TicketTransaction - I guess that is some kind of an ticket affiliate program, but I don’t know for sure.
I think the website seems interesting, but it’s not my kind of website, so I don’t really know if I’m right. My only comment on the website is that it seems like some SEO wouldn’t hurt!

There is another MySpace site for sale at SitePoint. This site is myspace-place.com which like the one I just mentioned has traffic of 110,000 monthly pageviews.
It also has revenue, but that is only ~$135 monthly through adsense, so it is only earning a third compared to the other MySpace site. So I guess that any buyers should take this into consideration. Since the two sites are alike, it is very possible that by looking at the best performing site, one could improve this site to earn much more than it currently does.
Another interesting thing about this site, is that 50% of the traffic is coming from search engines, according to seller. And most of the the other visits is through affiliates or they are returning visitors. So a buyer should consider if it is possible to gain traffic directly from peoples MySpace profiles.
The site is for sale on auction and the bidding starts at $1200.

Now it is public who bought Blog Herald, and it was BlogMedia, Inc. I know that I’m not exactly right on time with this post, but I was travelling back home from Istanbul yesterday, and really needed some sleep, so I didn’t see it before now. But back to the sale..
Duncan will be posting for the next two months while BlogMedia gets their team started. This is an obvious thing for blog sales since most blogs are kind of personal, the original blogger will need to help the transition to be smooth.
The Price: The big question is what the price ended up being, but unfortunatly they won’t tell. All they say is that both parties believe it was a fair deal. It is hard to say what the price might have been, but some bloggers are guessing:
I personally guess it would be something like $30,000+, but probably not higher than $35,000, so my guess is much like Chartreuse. My reasons for believing this is that BlogMedia must have known about the first time Blog Herald was supposed to sell, and they didn’t buy it then. And also, I’ve been watching and participating in website auctions for a long time, and since the public bids at SitePoint ended at $25,000 I guess that the private bids haven’t been that much higher.
I’ve previously reported on the sale and the supposed sale:

DNJournal provides us with a comprehensive list of domains that sold in 2005. The list includes price, date and where the domains sold. Domains that are listed has sold for prices of $10,000+
It is pretty interesting to look at the domain list to get a better idea of potential domain value, which should also be taken into consideration when buying (and selling) websites.

There is a tabs website (guitar, bass and drums) for sale at DigitalPoint (and NamePros). The website is hottesttabs.com and it should be receiving 5500+ uniques a day, according to seller.
There are stats and revenue screenshots in the thread, and it all seems pretty good. And I believe there is potential for improving the Adsense revenue from the website.
The bidding starts at $2600 and there is a $6000 BIN. I’m not sure it is worth $6000 since that is around two years of revenue. But of course there is the chance of buying it for less since it is an auction.
But potential buyers should be aware of potential legal issues. I’m not sure that there are any, but I recall some previous cases about lyrics and tabs websites.

The easiest way to start a celeb blog I think is to buy The Celeb Blog which has been put up for sale at SitePoint. The blog absolutely isn’t anything special - not at all - but priced with a BIN of $200 and bid start at $50 it is cheap.
It receives a little bit of traffic, has a little bit of link popularity and everything is set up. So I believe $200 is a cheap buy for anyone who was planning to do such a blog.

Since I’ve been away for some days now I haven’t noticed that it was announced that the blog herald is up for sale at SitePoint. Apparently the supposed sale felt through due to unknown reasons. I wonder what the reason is, but Duncan and Jeremy might not tell us.
It is going to be exciting to see what it sells for, if thea sale goes through this time. The BIN price is set at $50,000, which is 22 grand less than what it was supposed to sell for the first time.
Syntagma has some interesting stats for the blog herald for interested buyers.

I just spotted a webmaster & domain name forum for sale at NamePros. The forum itself seems pretty dead, but according to the statistics provided by the seller, there is a decent amount of traffic.
The forum is RealDN and it has a pagerank 4. In this month there has been around 13,000 uniques who did ~54,000 pageviews.
The seller wants the bidding to start of at $500, but he has a reserve, and mentions that the right offer will buy immediately. The auction will be for 7 days and seller will post a BIN in a couple of days.
This forum could be a good start to create a community, but remember that there is plenty of webmaster and domain forums already.
There are two things to notice. 1. Theres was a huge drop in traffic in November and December according to the stats. 2. There is a lot of links in the bottom, so the link popularity might be obtained through such link exchanges.
