Search Results for ‘make money’
There are several interesting websites for sale today, so I’ll just make a short summary of each of them.
The first is for sale at SitePoint:
A t-shirt website called crewddewdsshirts.com. It has a monthly revenue of $500+ made by selling shirts, but also has income from shareasale.com and other sites they are affliated with, along with adsense, bidvertiser, adbrite, etc. The website itself is really clutered with all sorts of stuff like links, banners etc. but it still interesting since it makes money and it gives space for improvement.
The second is for sale at SitePoint:
The website feedbomb.com is a blog / feed directory with 25,000 monthly pageviews from ~3,300 unique visitors. The site makes about $33 dollars a month, but I think this could be improved be placing ads on all pages, and by changing the ad formats. One thing to be aware of is that many bloggers don’t like to have their full feeds published on other sites, so I think it would be a good idea to make the site only show 250-350 charaters of each feed item.
The third is for sale at DigitalPoint:
There isn’t much information in the sales thread - not even the URL - but it is a weight loss related blog that makes decent money ~$3000 a month.
The fourth is for sale at sedo:
The website LoveOGram.com is a simple viral website where people can let other people know that they have a crush on them - anonymously. The website has about 3000 - 4000 daily uniques, and I think it could be monetized much better - even though I don’t know how much the owner is making from it.

After writing my previous post about validating pagerank I thought to myself that I also need to explain the following problem where sites with a real pagerank is for sale, but with one big problem being that the pagerank is likely to drop after the next update.
What you need to be aware of, is that there is another kind of scam where sellers try to sell high pagerank sites, but the high pagerank has been obtained through few links on very high pagerank sites of their own, or that they just have access to, and those links are likely to be removed after a sale. Here is an example:
- Some guy has a website (A) with a good pagerank let’s say 8.
- He wants to make some easy money by selling another website (B).
- So he links to website B from website A.
- After the next toolbar pagerank update website B will most likely have obtained a REAL pagerank of 7.
- Then he puts it up for sale on some forums where someone ends up buying it.
- After the deals is through he removes the link from website A
- The next time Google measures link popularity (NOT the toolbar pagerank) website B has a pagerank next to zero.
- So the website that was bought is worth almost nothing - based on pagerank.
I’ll just repeat yesterdays tip: “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.”

At SitePoint there is a new sales thread for a very unique website I think. The URL is scriptscribbler.com and it is a PSP programming tutorial website. I believe that is an interesting niche, that one could make decent money from.
The website is pretty small in page count, but it has traffic, ~100,000 pageviews a month, and a revenue of $150 monthly from adsense. Traffic comes from the many links the site has obtained - probably because of its uniqueness. Also there is a lot of traffic coming from search engines, and the site has seems to have many top rankings for the keywords of the niche.
With the uniqueness of the subject, and the likeliness of the site probably almost being an authority in the field, I guess one would be able to get a forum going quite well. Regarding the adsense, I think a new web design could increase the CTR. An e-mail newsletter when there are new tutorials would probably increase visits.
The catch is, that you would have to know about PSP programming. Or you could maybe find someone with the expertise, and have them continue the lessons by writing further tutorials, and participate in the forum, if the site got one implemented. But maybe the owner is willing to do some paid work after the sale.

At the True Blogging Forum I just read that Adwords and Adsense seems to be down. How much money does webmasters lose in the moment due to Adsense only showing Public Service Ads? It is probably a lot.
I certainly hope they’ll be up and running again quickly, or I might also lose a decent amount of money.
And we shouldn’t forget that all the people who base their business on Adwords traffic also has problems making money right now.

Here is an interesting forum which definitely seems great. My.IS (and is300.net) is for sale at SitePoint.
According to Bigboards there should be around 100,000 pageviews a day. But the seller reports that according to Google (Google Analytics, I guess) it is on average 33,000 pageviews a day.
I believe that there is some hidden values in this forum. First of all, I can see that the amount of pages, that Google and Yahoo has indexed, is very much below the actual amount of pages. So I am sure that there is alot of traffic to gain from search engines. These users coming through searches is normally clicking ads more often, so they might be of really good value.
Secondly, I think that since the subject is very specific - Lexus IS-models - it should be possible to obtain higher earnings than what the seller reports.
The starting bid is $25,000, which I believe is a good price. For somebody, with the knowledge needed to improve this forum, there are some decent money to make.
If anybody ends up buying this website, then do link building. The current pagerank is 3, which is very low. Link popularity in this end, can easily be improved, and thereby increase the amount of pages indexed by search engines.

Hip Hop Blogger, hiphopblogger.com is for sale at SitePoint.
According to the seller, there has been 163 posts since the blog was started in March 2005, which seems right according to Google and Yahoo. There are currently revenue generated with AdSense, and the screenshots says it was $18.30 in December. But one thing I noticed was that, according to that screenshot, the amount of pageviews dropped a bit in the middle of the month.
The seller has also posted screenshots with sources of traffic, and it seems good since it is mostly direct traffic, so there is probable loyal readers. The rest is from links ~ 21% and search engines ~ 17%.
The bidding starts at $200, but there is a BIN of $800. I think it is worth the money, for somebody wanting to start a hip hop blog, who doesn’t have all the time in the world to get started.
If somebody buys it, then please fix that redirect from www.hiphopblogger.com to hiphopblogger.com, and make it opposite. All the links is pointing to the domain including www. And also do a little bit of link building - it should not be hard to obtain more traffic from the search engines.
Stats:
Age: 9 months
Pageviews: ~6000 a month
Pages indexed:
- Google: ~70
- Yahoo: ~150
Back links:
- Google (front page): ~316 (for the url with www)
- Yahoo (front page): ~3,380 (for the url with www)
- Yahoo (entire site): ~3,460
PageRank: 4
