Should I sell my site on flippa???

Janet, I would keep up with it. You've already done a lot of work and just "letting go" any piece of virtual real estate would be a total waste. If you've already built up some consistent traffic your site is on its way to being worth something to either you or someone else.

Selling it on Flippa now you wouldn't nearly get as much for it if you were to monetize it, even just something, for a few months.

I would renew the domain, focus on 1 or 2 targeted category defining keywords that have a decent amount of traffic and lower competition, and then target 15 to 20 long tail keyword phrases that have at least 200 searches per month. Just make sure that you personally would use those keywords to intuitively search for a specific solution.

I would also add a stronger call to action above the fold. I see that you do offer the main clickbank info products, but have something specific that stands out. I would offer something to build a list. Having a list is associated with your site is a huge asset, plus you can let your expertise show and give people an opportunity to buy from someone they trust.

If you haven't already added google analytics I would do it immediately. Install the plugin "google analyticator". It's free and easy to install. Without knowing exactly how people are finding you, you'll never be able to truly tell how best to monetize.

Janet, never underestimate the power of "expertise". You have come a long way with this site and now have the opportunity to help people by educating them on their options. Believe in yourself and don't give up.

Try selling it on ebay. Flippa charges $19 just to list your site. I don't like Flippa.

Don't give up! Maybe try a few different ways of promoting your site? If your site offers good information then people will keep coming back.

Tbh, it probably wouldn't be worth putting it on Flippa. It's probably not worth much to anyone else currently.

I would change the header , it's way to busy and takes away focus of the content.
Other than that the content is pretty good

I seriously think that you should not give up on your site easily. Try to get followers for it by using the social media first. Have you ever tried advertising your site for extra traffic? Try to do this for a couple of months first before you think of giving it up again. Maybe all you need is a bit more of motivation.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the trouble to respond. There is some very useful information here. I am very heartened by the comments from Ryan and those of you who think I should stick with this site and who think that it does have good content and a chance of making some money.

I will certainly take on board all the comments and try to make some changes that will improve the site and also improve the traffic and the call to action

I was also interested to learn that sites can be sold on ebay. I was unaware of this.

Thanks again - I just love this forum!!!!

First you need to figure out what you want most of your money to come from from the site. For I see you have adsense on the site. However the problem with most of your adsense ads is that they are all below the fold. There for many are just skimming over your article really fast and not seeing any of the ads minus the single adsense ad at the top in the article. You should try changing that single ad at the op to something a little bit bigger that shows a few more ads in the actual box.

I would probably do a 250x300 my self but that is just me you would have to test things out to see which ones work the best for you and your site. I also noticed some banners at the bottom right sidebar of your site. Again many people are not seeing these ads which means that you are losing sales do to the fact they have to go to the bottom of you site to find them. Try to get them above the fold as much as possible.

Personally I would keep it if you are getting some decent traffic. At least for the time being. For if the site is not producing any profits at all it is going to sell really cheap on flippa. People like to see sites that are already established and making profits.

I also see that you are not trying to get any emails at all. Again this is doing nothing but hurting you and your profits in the long run. Why not in the top welcome section you offer some sort of give away so that they can subscrib to your list. In turn you will be able to sell to them years from now even if you where to sell the site today.

Hope this helps I wish you the best of luck with what ever choice you go with. Personally though I think I would just focus on monetizing it a little better. That is just my 2 cents though.

Janet, I wouldn't sell it right now if I were you. If your website isn't making any money, and probably gets very little existing traffic, it's not going to be worth your while to list it on Flippa and make next to nothing, especially given the fact that you've put a fair amount of time and effort into developing it.

I'd focus on monetizing your site with targeted/relevant offers if you haven't already done so, and start driving as much traffic as possible to it, so that you can at least have some revenue to show your prospects at Flippa.

Without a decent amount of verified traffic and/or revenue, your site is going to go for very little, or may not even generate enough interest to sell. Work on your site and develop it further before thinking of selling it.

why give up on your site.
it looks pretty good and contents are also good.
why dont you just try to optimize your site more get more traffic etc.
after which you can ask some people to advertise on your site of if traffic is high, advertisers will just come voluntarily.
