Search Results for ‘websites for sale’
It’s been quite a while since my last post and I regret that. I’ve been so busy that I just couldn’t find the time to write here. Also I find that there has not been as many interesting websites for sale as usually. I often first saw the good ones when they where almost already sold.
Enough about that because there’s a decent website for sale at SitePoint. The website is www.butlerwebs.com and has a steady income and lots of traffic. According to seller it makes about $3000 a month where the $2000 is through adsense. Regarding the traffic he states that there is around 15-20,000 unique visitors daily.
The fact that there’s several recent blog posts which links to the website makes me believe that it’s true. Just try and search for the website on technorati and you’ll see them.
It’s an auction and the bidding starts at $26,000, which it definitely must be worth.

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.

On SitePoint and DigitalPoint there is a site called MyDrinkRecipes.com for sale. It’s a rather popular drink recipes website with 400,000+ monthly pageviews done by approx. 4,000 daily unique visitors.
By checking out the stats provided in the sales threads I found that there is definitely space for improvements regarding SEO for Google. The website receives only a little percentage of the overall search engine traffic from Google, which I believe doesn’t reflect the actual amount of searches on each individual search engine.
Another thing I found, that I believe all potential buyers should look into is that about 80% of the sessions doesn’t have a referrer. This is a little odd, but maybe the seller can clarify the issue. It could be that there are that many regular visitors, but I don’t think that is possible.
This website is for sale on auction with a starting bid of $3,000 and a BIN price of $6,500, which seems a little bit high considering that it makes on average $240 a month. And drinks websites doesn’t have any special growth potential - it takes hard work.

There is a football (soccer) website for sale at SitePoint. The website is footballexpo.com which according to seller recieves about 500.000 monthly pageviews, and generates $500-600 in revenue.
The seller claims that it has made more than $500 revenue with adsense since it was started 20 days ago. It seems rather unusual for a website to receive that much traffic so quickly after being created. But he also tells that the traffic comes from newsnow.co.uk and lots of other uk football club sites, which seems to be correct.
I wonder how much money there are in ads on sports websites of all sorts like water skiing or basketball for that matter.
The site is for sale with a BIN of $1500.

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.

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.

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.
