Flipping sites. Any suggestions in selling a .AU site?

5 replies
I have a .au website and I just wanted some suggestion on how to increase it's value. Also, Does .AU a good extension? It's an old domain 3 years + and it's on Joomla. I plan to sell it at $10,000++ in the next 6 months if possible.

Another thing I want to ask if which is better for a site a wordpress site or Joomla? I'm planning to have some redesigning as well.

the site is <>Water Tanks Online<> How to find water tanks to suit, where to purchase rainwater tanks, how to install domestic water tanks - Welcome to Water Tanks Online and it focuses on where and how to find a good water tanks, articles about it, stuffs like that etc.
I'm planning to add some content as well.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

John

      It is very difficult to sell a domain with a dot AU extension.

      Unless you have an Australian Business Number you cannot register an AU domain - which basically excludes everyone living outside Australia.

    It's not even rated by Alexa.
    Does it have traffic?
    Does it have revenue?

    If not, you'd be lucky to get $50 for it. It's a very plain default Wordpress theme and without some blazing traffic and a history of provable income, I don't know where you came up with $10,000.

      Hi,

      It's just a plan for now. As I've said I'm planning to sell it in 6-8 months time after redesigning my site completely. I'm planning to add contents, and give a full blast SEO campaign for it. I'll start by targeting less competitive keywords. I'm not planning to sell it now. I just need suggestions and tips for increase it's viewers, traffic and revenues.

      Actually, I have a partner living in Australia. So It wont have any problems with regards to this issue.

      $10,000 is just a long-term dream for now. I'm planning to sell it 6-8 months after I get enough traffic. Any tips to increase it's revenue and traffic besides SEO? what are the Do's and Dont's in flipping sites?

      Thanks in advance!
