Where is the traffic coming from (Flippa Sites for Sale)
I've been looking at some site on Flippa, and see a common business model where the sites for sale are selling services that are very easy and inexpensive to outsource. Examples: Backlinks, Facebook Likes, Social media shares, twitter followers etc..
I get that part, the part I'm struggling with is where are they getting the targeted traffic? Many of these sites are not very old, and seem able to get very targeted traffic (and revenue). I do know it is paid traffic, but most of them claim under $200 / month on "traffic sources" - which seems amazing to be based on the revenue they are able to generate from the traffic.
I'm sure there are some scams out there, but I have done screen sharing with a few sellers and have validated transactions. (but not traffic spend - none of them want to share their sources or actual advertising costs)
If anyone can recommend a WSO or product that may point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. Or if you have any thoughts on how they may be getting traffic like this, I'd love to know.
Thanks!
