Introduction: Adventures in Buying Websites
Last month’s purchases results are in and there are some surprises, both pleasant and not-so-pleasant. The Portal video game website that was purchased at $700 had claims of 40,000 uniques per month and about $40 in income. Among many others, one reason for this purchase was it’s revenue increase potential through improving the CTR or $/click. At 40,000 uniques per month, you should be able to squeeze a bit more than $40. After buying the website, I finished it’s transfer about March 4th so I don’t have a full month to assess, but close enough. I had a variety of transfer related issues which I’ll discuss in future posts.
