Have you ever seen advertisements for 10,000 targeted visitors for $10. Usually I just brush those adverts aside, reminding myself of the old adage “you get what you pay for”. But it occured to me $10 is worth about 4 adsense clicks on some of my high paying keyword sites. Surely out of thousands of visitors I could manage to get enough clicks to easily cover my small investment. Well it was worth a shot and so I set up an experiment to see if there was something in paid traffic.

You may have noticed that one of my favorite online activities is buying and selling websites. Pretty much everyday I start out my day by quickly scouting Flippa and Digitalpoint to see if I can find a bargain or a site that complements my current portfolio. Anyway I thought I would share some of this hard work with my loyal readers and as such, I have decided to post the best sites I could find for sale (at reasonable prices). If you are thinking of buying an established website check out these listings first:

I am sure you have heard the phrase “traffic is gold”. In fact I would like to amend that to read “relevant traffic is gold”. But the question I have been asking myself recently, is how do I obtain more relevant traffic for my blog Scribblescratch? One option I have often contemplated, but never actually tried is a guest post on another popular and reputable blog.

As any professional athlete, businessman, investor or coach will attest, learning from your mistakes or failures is a critical component of ensuring future success. I have been online close to 6 years now and thought, a public display of the mistakes I have made as I endeavour to become a web entrepreneur will not only help me to grow, but such public humiliation may also help new webmasters avoid many of the mistakes that I have made in the past.

Reflecting on this list and publishing it, is highly embarrassing now that I view them from a different understanding.

God bless the Internet. Where else can you assume a fake identity, pose the most inane question imaginable–like “Why can’t I see my reflection in the mirror on a television?”–and then sit back and watch the answers pour in?

Crowd-source advice sites like Yahoo Answers have become a bit of a magnet for the maladjusted. Sure, there are plenty of average Joes just looking for ordinary information. But among the sites’ many mundane queries, there’s a sea of jaw-droppingly dumb discussions guaranteed to amaze and entertain.

Recently I held a contest to determine the better marketplace to sell a site. Flippa or Digitalpoint. The results for my flippa auction were much poorer than anticipated. After the auction had completed, I decided it was time to browse through some of the sites listed to build my portfolio. When I noticed something, which in my opinion is completely deceitful and unnecessary.

So what did I notice? Every search throughout the listings automatically searches "Feature Listings Only". Why the hell would anyone want to ever check that box anyway?

Now I should mention when I refer to “blog”, I am in fact referring to the wordpress blog software. It is an amazingly adaptable, easy-to-use and SEO friendly platform that I use for almost all my sites. And after using wordpress for so many sites there are 7 steps I take every time when setting up a new blog.

Welcome to my first contest, where I pit two web services against each other to decide which one is better. The first contest will decide once and for all:

Where is the best place to sell a website”

Well if you are a regular reader you may of noticed a change in the website. That is that there is no longer any content. Well I am here to tell you I have had a security issue and lost the database with my 1200+ post.
