Are Some Webmasters Financial Masterminds?

I just finished reading a great book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki. And I thought that I should write about the financial intelligence of some webmasters.

Many of the people that daily are active in the buy/sell website forums, they have understood what it is all about. They are financial intelligent, so to say.

Here’s the reason for my statement:

• They are always on the looking for good investments
• They buy websites for the revenue generated by their websites
• They improve the websites to generate higher revenues
• They sell websites for more than they were bought for

This means that they constantly improve their cash flow by improving their website portfolio. And thereby become richer every day. The webmasters are not working for money anymore, the money are working for the webmasters.

Considering that websites typically sell for amounts around 12 months of revenue, this is also a very attractive market. If you’re constantly buying new assets for all the revenue generated by those you currently own, you’ll be experiencing an amazing growth.

Also remember that if you have a corporation for your business you won’t have to pay much in taxes (maybe even nothing) because you get tax deductions for your purchases / investments.

Of course webmasters don’t have to invest in new websites, they can just as well invest in the growth of their current websites.

Are webmasters losing a lot of money right now?

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.

Webmaster & Domain forum for Sale: ~3,800 posts

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.
