Now is the best time to buy sites ?

7 replies
So I had a lot of buyers hit me up recently about buying different projects. This is AFTER the EMD effects on google had shown and everyone read the news.

What shocked me:
A) I had more inquiries than before

B) many people buying & inquiring were from wealthier/emerging countries, instead of the US.

So i got to thinking. Perhaps this is a "Warren Buffet strategy" time. When everything looks bad you should begin hunting for good investments because no matter what, the system can be manipulated. It's all still computer logic behind this, not the reasoning we have as humans.

What do you guys think?

Is it a good time to buy domains/sites if investing money?

I know there are sellers are dropping projects for 1-2x the monthly income they had before the update.

    Why, are you buying domains/sites based on "whether it's a good time" for it?
    The reasonable strategy would be to acquire domains by looking at them in terms of what ROI they bring - NOT based on some criteria which has nothing really to do whether a site could be profitable or not.

    Sellers might be "dropping" projects because many relied on EMDs..and now realize they are not worth # anymore since the underlying sites were not worth more than a couple of dollars anyway.

    So..yes, you can get a good deal and a real gem if you're lucky - but you could also do this in the past.

    It really depends on which path you want to walk on.

    The best time to buy a site or start a site is when you actually buy or start it. Talking actions is the most important thing

    Thanks

    I would be very careful buying any EMD's at the moment. Mainly because many have been devalued and some may even have penalties applied if they have had un-natural link building notices. You would have to have a solid marketing plan in place on how you are going to profit from the site before just buying on speculation of its potential future value.

    The domain/website market , because of google, is MUCH like the stock market

    Anyone who thinks simply studying the current value will determine the ROI in 2012 is living in a fantasy world. Sites are tanking every 2 weeks. New stuff is being born every day. Site's restructured are being reborn.

    What i'm saying is, simple.....................

    Sellers are lowering prices. People , because of fear of the unknown (as in much business), are backing away FAST, taking the easy out.

    Just like the stock market, that would be a great time to buy into SOME things... not all... just some....

    what i'm saying .............. is this a GREAT time to buy into domains/websites......... Buckle down and study what it takes to fix a site to get it ranking properly again.............. while everyone is running to sell their projects

    I am hoping it is a good time to start buying domains and/or building sites because that is exactly what I am doing. I believe it will be in driving traffic a different way than the sit back and let google page rank me to the top of the list. OR just using adsense. Now is a good time to begin so we can learn the new way to do it.

    To be honest, its always good to expand your inventory of websites.

    The more websites you have making money the farther ahead you really are in the game!

    I have well over 100+ websites right now and you can never have enough!

    ^ that's an interesting way to see things. Have you had to 'restructure' any of those sites you purchased? or did you only add content?
