STARTING UP

by Bruich76
5 replies
I have been looking for a website for a while from Flippa - one that already has traffic, basic SEO and which I can just go into and amend slightly to turn it into a revenue machine.

However, I am very cautious because alot of websites on there are very similar, and easy to replicate. Can anyone tell me where the best place to buy an existing website is? I have some websites already - but they are fairly new.

    Your best bet is to visit websites, and make an offer to the owner of the sites you like. It is way to easy to get scammed buying from website flipping sites. Talking to website owners is the best way to go IMO. Some will give you a ridiculous price, but you can always say "thanks for the reply' and move on.

    A few points to take into consideration:

    1.) A lot of websites on flippa are simply turnkey websites (duplicated) with duplicated content and design. They then push traffic to them inorganically to hike up the traffic count. These websites are usually overpriced and not worth the data it takes up on the servers.

    2.) If you haven't been in the industry long, it's ridiculously easy to get ripped off and spend too much on something you think is a deal. Better to do as much reading as you can on forums and stuff before you splash out.

    3.) *self promotion* I offer 100% unique websites built on the foundation of an aged expired domain with minimum PR 1. No duplicate content, perfect SEO foundation, and I honestly think, a better starting website for you.
