Why my sites are not selling?

They are making no revenue and don't hold any SERP rankings so what use are they (thinking from the perspective of someone who might be interested in purchasing websites)?

- The first link is not working.

- Second i think the domain is not that good.

- Have patience and try selling on other sites as well.

I know why. The first one reads: Oops! Page Not Found and the second one has been seen thousands of times I mean the template or script. Selling a site is like selling fine wine. It comes with age and hardwork plus there's no REAL content but who knows you might get lucky.

First thing I see is that they don't have unique content. With traffic and earnings, this might not matter as much, but I do find that Flippa buyers prefer sites with unique content.

Also, I notice that your domain name keywords get few searches a month. Again, you don't always have to have good keyword domains, but it helps. And a domain without good keywords that doesn't have unique content to help it rank for other long tail keywords is probably seen less valuable in the eyes of buyers.

Lastly, you seem to have $1 no reserve - put this at the start of your title "$1 NO RESERVE - " then the rest of your listing - help draw attention to this fact, as it's obviously a great reason for people to bid.

Hello Anthony,

First thing, we are buy and sell established websites, if we see sites, with no revenue or no traffic, we straight away avoid.

Buyers nowadays are only looking for traffic and revenue, the only time anyone would actually buy a new site is if it's a unique product or site.

I can see yours is a template and would take us literally 5 minutes to build.

I suggest you promote your site and get them traffic and revenue then sell.

Site flipping had been ruined by sellers creating 5 minute sites, therefore no one wants to purchase a site, that they can literally make themselves.

Because they are not worth the money you are asking for them.

No revenue = they are worth ZERO!

You are trying to sell a business which makes no money. You won't find a lot of people getting interested in a dead horse

If you publish how much revenue the site generates you can usually ask for like 5-8 times what it generates on a monthly basis.

badboy_Nick , I don't agree with you, some sites have great potential , some don't, it depends though, but of course it would sell for less.

Uhm maybe you put way too much info and they are lazy to read
and they are expensive.

Even if it is $1 a day that will galvanize people to bid...if a site is making $1 a day or so that means over a month it is $30...for a typical sale at 10x earnings after a year that means they have started making profit on their investment.

This would bother me the most, why didn't you spend some time making it a success yourself?

Right now it is turnkey, and that usually means the buy price is much lower than what you have at BIN

And you have 320 searches, not 6600...the search you should be doing is EXACT

Your whole sales patter that talks about completely irrelevant crap shows you don't really know what you are doing, it is okay to not know...just don't make the mistake of assuming others don't know...

People know about blogging for cash, and web 2.0 and SEO and CPC...just get on with it! lol

My point is that people who are searching for sites to buy are only interested in one thing, how much money will this make them and how they can scale it up but they need to know that it actually makes money in the first place, forget about teaching them anything else...just focus on what you are selling and the benefits of that only.

Sites that make money sell better for sure, but you can sell brand new sites with no traffic or revenue.

The thing is that in order to sell a new site that is not earning it has to have a killer design. Your sites do not have that, so I think they are priced too high.

It actually looks like you didn't put much effort into the site at all and I think buyers can see that.

Plus, your sales letter is all about you. Every paragraphs starts with "I". Buyers want to hear about them.

Sorry to sound harsh but if you want to get $350 for the site you should drive some traffic to it and start it earning some of that adsense income, after all, according to your sales letter you are in expert in doing that so it should be easy for you, right?

Also, big mistake in making a site solely to show off your own bikes...lets face it here, can you really see people sometime in the future paying good money to buy a site called www.SparhawkeScratchingHisAssonYoutube.com?

People are not interested in my ass, it is not all that pretty to begin with...if you had a menagerie of Beyonce, Yasmines and Avril's asses on youtube though I might be tempted for one.

Hi,

I think the BIN is too high. When I create start-up blogs the BIN is usually at $197!

I suggest maybe designing it from a custom wordpress theme, and add some logo's etc! Some unique articles will also add value

start again!

.... and now someone else is selling the same type of site right here for $147. Must be some kind of a new plugin that does these youtube posts out!

You can't just slap a site together, put it up on Flippa and expect it to sell. Just like any other product, the product has to have value to the customer. What will these sites do for the customer? Nothing, actually.

They have no revenue, no traffic, aren't particular creative in design. Why would someone want them?

Build sites that you are proud of, then get traffic and make some sales. You will be rewarded hundreds of times over in the price they will fetch if you treat it like a business rather than a "throw some crap up on Flippa for a few bucks" flipping model.

Don't mean to be harsh, but that's the facts.

In addition, everything Lee said about startups is true:

I see that - you should list yours over there(here) as apparently there is a market for them.

As Suzanne said, you can't just slap anything on Flippa and expect it to sell.

No traffic/revenue history, there are about 16(?) copies of the site and it doesn't seem to have that much, if any, potential at all. Buyers don't buy sites to stack their collection... they buy these to make money off these without having to do all the grunt work. If they don't see the potential to make money, they won't buy.

I'd suggest you to check out what's selling on Flippa (hint, hint), reverse engineer WHY they are selling and do it yourself.

The sites that move fast are sites that are earning money, ranking in the SERPS, have unique content, etc... For more info. look at the sites that have recently sold ...rinse and repeat.

Not to mention that copyscape is showing 16 copies of the jaguar site.

I pretty much have to echo what everyone else said in this discussion. These types of sites belong on eBay with the other 97% of the trash there. Not to say that your sites are trash, but you can't expect to sell sites like these on Flippa.

IMO (and I always say this), your name has to be SuiteJ to sell startups on Flippa now.
