So Many Holes in the Story…
July 22, 2008 |
It stumps me as to how people come up with the guts to post some of the sites I see for sale, and even more so all the information (read BS) they provide to explain away what appears as a scam. The scam being a site that is sold under false pretense, most popular is the traffic source. A paid-for burst of traffic is the most common culprit - when that burst is sold as some sort of natural traffic.
I just finished reading an auction post for a video game site for sale (flash games). The claims were 80,000 views, 30,000 uniques, $80 in revenue per month.
Note that it was listed July 22. The “proof” provided were screenshots of January information only. The poster claims that “The traffic is low last months because i didn´t have time to add new games to the site”. This excuse may be fine until you consider the site is 20 or so months old, and there are a total of THREE (3) games on the site. See the problem here?
