Enough Already
August 7, 2006
Yahoo seems to have stabilized it's rankings for now, and the website I've been commenting on in my previous two blogs has come to rest in it's rankings for it's specific keyphrases. It's still #3 for the more popular keyphrase and #1 for a lesser one, so I'll live with that (but not for long).
Google is a very dynamic search engine and the website's rankings move up and down daily. Yesterday, I couldn't even find the site in Google. Today it's ranked at #56 for it's main keyphrase, but that may change by this evening.
It's a good website and it's made me some money, but with three sites to maintain and update, I just can't quite keep up with it. I presently have a "day job" and simply don't have the time, along with other commitments, to do the product research, write articles, add links, etc., etc.
I've reached the point where it's time to direct all my attention to this website only (the one you're on now). So what about the other two sites and all the work (and $) I've put into them? Is there anything I can do other than simply let them die a slow death?
The answer to the question above is a resounding YES! I can sell the websites. I've actually been through the process before with my very first site. It really isn't such a difficult thing to do. There are a number of good site brokers out there on the web. I can sign up with one of them (for a fee of course) and let them do the advertising.
What I need to do is come up with an asking price for the site based on primarily two things:
1. Number of unique visitors to the site per month
2. Monthly income the site produces
When someone decides to purchase the site, the transaction details will need to be worked out between them and me. We'll have to decide how the money is to be paid (PayPal for instance), when they get the HTML files, images, etc. (they could practically pull all that off their web browser if they wanted to work at it) and most importantly the transfer of the domain name.
A safer way is to find a third party company on the web who will actually handle the transaction (again, for a fee). This is probably the best way to go.
There are also companies who will both purchase your site and handle the transaction. You fill in a form on their website with some details and the asking price. They visit your site and get back to you with an offer. You probably won't get as good a deal, but it's a little less hassle.
Without going into depth on this subject, let me say this. I'll be adding a page to websitedoit.com in the future with information on selling websites. Website sales is a pretty healthy enterprise, and many people design sites just for the purpose of selling them. I'll leave you entrepeneurs out there with that thought for now.
See you next time.
