Bought a Site
Network May 29th, 2007I bought a site and got a rather good deal. I am not going to disclose the site just yet because there are some things I want to do on it before I show everyone. However, I am going to tell you the genre and what my plans are. The genre is woman rock singers. Don’t ask why I bought it because it is entirely OUT of my niche. However, as I was looking at it, I realized that the site had a lot of quality content, it had a good design and the site had a genuinely nice appeal to it. And since it is on a topic that is so interesting, I figured there would be room for improvement and the adding of MORE articles.
What I plan to do with the site is actually write more articles. Biographies aren’t that hard and even if I feel like not writing them, I can always find someone to write them for really inexpensive. I need to fool around with the ad placement because there is currently only one ad unit on the homepage, but nothing on the inner pages. But, I think I will get it work out in the end. Once that’s done, I intend on going to some music forums and posting around quite a bit, trying to get some people to the site. Some initial traffic should be good while I try and get the site linked on the search engines. One can hope, you know?
The site only cost me $61 which really is a steal considering the site comes pre-designed and there are eleven unique articles. So granted, there is nothing on the site in relation to stats and a page rank. However, what the site does have is a good look. And if I can add just a few more articles, I think that the site will be a worthy investment. And if all else fails and the site does not earn for me like I think it will, I will do what people sometimes have to do and sell it. But, I don’t think I’ll have to do that. I think it’ll earn just fine. We’ll just have to wait and see though.
It takes a lot out of me to write these blog posts. Buy me a beer to cool me off!
