Im not at a point where I trust spending that much money on a website and trusting the stats that they are providing. Alexa, traffic, and income proof can be modified easily. I am more careful with my website purchasing. And in the end you can make your own successful website for $10.

Just make sure that the business you spend $25k on isn't reliant on a single source of traffic because if that traffic disappears overnight, so does the business - and your investment.

Avoid the temptation. Just because the site is there today doesn't mean it will be tomorrow. Tons and tons of IMers lost their full time income literally overnight when Google rolled out Panda and again when Penguin came out.

If you are relying solely on search traffic, you are playing with fire. Instead, buy a brand/site that has an established audience. With an established readership, a massive fail on the search side won't decimate you.

Too bad you weren't around last year! I was seriously considering selling my IM business along with all my products. The business earns me about $30k/yr working only 2 hors a day.

I eventually changed my mind and decided to hang onto it due to the amazing number of lowball offers I received.

Flippa is very tricky, yet it is a place to get good bargain.

I hate buying at Flippa for two reasons. One to get a really good website, it mean you probably caught a newbie to Flippa who didn't know how to list their website correctly , The other is too many Flippa sellers who mastered the art of faking traffic, sales, ... etc to make a lousy site like a killer website ( which also underestimate good website )

Also most likely a startup with great idea but made a bad decision of selling there. So while you can get a good deal by watching closely ( you will need a lot of time on your watch to buy a site ).

Flippa used to have great listing but with there fee hitting the sky, it is really tough to find a good website there every day ( a worthy website will be listed every month or so ), so you will really need to keep your eyes on flippa.

I would say look at the warrior forum website sale section, you can find some good deals.

Not familiar with EmireFlippers, but if you got a really good budget (High 5 digit to 6 ), I would recommend checking latonas. They got big sites, and they tend to do their due diligence. I never bought or sold on them but I did meet with them in a summit and they took me through the process of how they handling the sale

Flippa would have to be the most popular one if you're looking for established websites.

Save yourself a lot of headaches and build your own site from scratch. Here are just SOME of the reasons WHY you need to do this

1) You'll save more money

2) You'll build a site around existing traffic instead of the other way around

3) You have more control over your brand

4) You will be tuned into the community that develops around your content

5) You have total editorial control

6) You can craft more ways to make money - ways that are more convenient and 'easier' for you

7) You can grow your site based on actual USER BEHAVIOR.

REMEMBER: You can always OUTSOURCE

I just never know when buying established websites if I am buying a website that has been penalized in Google or even banned from adwords as it may have been associated with a banned user in the past.

Happened to me a couple times already

Vegas was lots of work! It as my entire Wolf Web Marketing brand that I was looking to sell at the time. I eventually decided to keep it and grow it.

PMing you.
