All sites I bought so far were between $1,000 and $2,000.
I would LOVE to have more liquidity and buy 10K websites!

A few months ago, I saw violentacres.com for sell at 10K… I’m definitely regret not buying it!

Silicon Prairie,

I’m in the same boat, I look at sitepoint occasionally and never seem to find anything that seems worthwhile.

FB,

What range of prices did you buy your sites at? Looks like it’s probably around $1000?

Silicon Prairie,
You will probably have to search for a few weeks/months before finding something interesting. This is the problem having all those clowns selling cheap copies of cheap website

Once in a while, you get something decent and you have to jump on it

We bought 4 websites so far and it goes pretty well.

I browse sitepoint occasionally – unfortunately most of the websites look like copies (at one time the same person listed virtually identical sites every day), have no revenue at all, or actually make money from something illegal. I’ve only seen a couple of good ones – with one the seller was making under $100 a month and said the site cost $25000 to develop. I’m not sure I know enough to buy a site for page rank or traffic and then increase the revenue but a small experiment or two might not hurt…

Cd;
yeah, I usually don’t look for sites that are younger than 1 yr and make sure they are indexed in Google so I get some hope of decent traffic!

We are doing both at the same time (creating website and buying some) and both works pretty well actually!

good luck!

Age of site can also be an important factor. Most SEs like older sites, becaue they are less likely to be a spam site and more likely to be sticking around.

My goal is to get a few sites running before purchasing an existing one.

Silicon Prairie;
Value is in the eye of the beholder (buyer ).
I once thought that buying “low value” websites was a bit of a scam. I found out that it’s only a matter of your competency and what you are looking for (traffic, establish revenue, potential, coding method/theme, keyword optimization, etc.). You should pay for stuff that takes you time or money to develop (like a page rank or steady traffic for example).

I look on sitepoint and digital point forum:
