Domain Rehabilitation: Monetization

The second item on my list of problems to clear up for this domain was the fact that because I hadn’t bothered trying to monetize it in a long time, I couldn’t tell potential buyers it would bring in any particular amount of money. To monetize a domain, you need to know these things:

What ad [...]

Domain Rehabilitation project

I changed my mind – I’m not selling the site yet. I was going to post about this the other day, then I discovered this site had been totally splogged, and that made me even more certain about getting the site into better shape and then selling it for a decent price eventually. Then I [...]

So, who wants to buy this website?

I’ve pretty much decided to sell this website, and possibly ChillyCool, too, and probably some others. Selling domains is new to me, so I’m still doing my research to figure out what they’re worth and how to go about it. Any advice would be welcome.
This might also be a good time for you to make [...]

March 2009 earnings, my new site, and my new venture

My earnings this month weren’t bad. But for once, I think I’m actually onto something good. I started a new site a couple of months ago – let’s call it Project Grassfed – at the urging of a friend (whose instincts turned out to be wicked smart). The site started out okay, then my friend [...]

Changes in direction

It’s been way too long since I posted here, and it’s a long story why. Here’s that story.
My earnings in December were very decent. My earnings in January seem to have plummeted, as usual for January. I still have hope for my websites, but about a month ago, I had a better idea. An idea [...]

Google gets over the paid link thing

Quite some time ago, Google went on a rampage and announced it was evil to sell paid links if they passed on pagerank. They zeroed out several of my websites that sold links while missing the others. I wrote a lot about how this all sucked. Eventually, I removed paid links from two of the [...]

Question the marketing theory you were taught by SEO

I’ve recently become too busy to write for this site much because several of my other sites have taken off recently, and when you suddenly get busy running popular sites, it’s a bit difficult to find time to update your less popular sites.
But there’s one thing you should know, and that is the reason my [...]

Surprise site earnings

After my recent surges of traffic to Project B-2 Bomber, Project Mai Tai got a delicious inbound that sent thousands of new visitors. A month ago, I had only one site that was above 10k and struggling to hit the 15k mark. Now I have Mai Tai over the 15k mark (up from around 8k) [...]

When to sell a site

I’m thinking about selling this site and/or ChillyCool. No, seriously.
The traffic for B-2 Bomber quadrupled last month, and it took up every minute I had, because suddenly there were such opportunities for striking while the iron was hot, and every one of those opportunities I took paid off. The traffic gains doubled the site’s monthly [...]
