Sites Worth Buying – 1st Feb
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:
Linkersblog looks like a quality webmaster related blog. The keyword here is quality as the articles, comments, ebooks and marketing on the site are far beyond the usual blog crap being spouted on Flippa. However there is a big question mark over traffic and revenue with little details given, which concerns me. Going off alexa is dangerous at best, but it does suggest decent traffic. Overall though not a bad looking business and I think anything under $800 would be a steal. I wouldn’t go above this amount unless more details about traffic and revenue are provided.
Fun Drinking Games is full of decent content on the subject and it is a severely under-monetized website. It has excellent Google rankings for very popular keywords and has a huge number of visitors as a result. The site would benefit greatly from a redesign in terms of aesthetics and monetisation, so some work would need to be put in. Again the sales listing is short on details but in this case I think it only helps reduce the final sales price for this gem. I think getting this site for anything under $3000 is a steal.
PHP Bux is a website selling another version of the very popular Paid-To-Click (PTC) script. Dependant on the quality of the script (I suggest you buy and test before buying the site) this is a rare opportunity to buy a real online business. PTC is huge with many new webmasters trying there hand so it would be an excellent market to enter into. I think they would benefit from making it a free script and adding some premium upgrades which would establish them as the #1 script in the industry. Obviously you would need to be a PHP developer or be able to employ one and the conversion rate of the product is somewhat a worry. Assuming the product is worth $35.50 as it has been priced I think $2000-$3000 is a very good price for the site. Having said that you will need another $2000-$3000 to develop and market the product properly and reach the sites full potential .
So there you have it my shortlist of quality sites available to buy. I will probably post similar opportunities whenever I find some worth posting. You may have noticed that none of these sites will sell in the low XXX range. Any site in the low XXX range generally is not worth buying because the amount of work needed to put into the site is similar to if you started the site from scratch. If you are thinking of buying a cheap site my advice is to save your money for a couple of months and buy something of real quality.
