Scams? Government regulations? Are you people retarded? Site flipping is a valid business model. As for unethical idiots... well, we have them in every industry, and as for idiots in general who want government regulation and to cry scam simply because they are too lazy to do the work involved... Well, those kinds are obviously everywhere, sort of like insects, no one wants them around, but you just cant get rid of the nasty little buggers. (maybe there should be government regulation about stupidity, it would sure clean up the net) Absolutely amazing. Scams? Government regulations? Are you people retarded?

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 05:28:14 +0000 http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=19380#comment-1273367 Maybe the government needs to start regulating who can turn websites into a business venture, without any long term commitment. Like maybe a minimum holding time, and some kind of proof of viability or growth. Slapping a coat of paint on it, and then auctioning it off to unsuspecting buyers, sounds highly unethical. Government regulators would step in, if this were being done to brick and mortar businesses.

This sounds like all those comeons to buy and resell real estate, that we've seen on Tv. And look where the market for that is now! Practically a bust! This doesn't sound very doable in the long run. How can anyone just dress up a website, and not also be invested its nuts and bolts selling operation. Are they farming all that out to India?! It sounds more like a con to sell another batch of advice books, on website speculation. The new real estate scam. Just so the rest of us taxpayers don't have to bail out the a-holes who over-speculate themselves into bankruptcy. Will the banking system be floating loans for this next? I'm sure they're thinking about it. #6 – Hmeyers. Exactly was I was thing when I read this. This sounds like all those comeons to buy and resell real estate, that we’ve seen on Tv.

Read what I say carefully and you'll see what I mean ... Analyze this: "Quick profit for owners who flip niche websites" Quick profit = fast flip = makes it sound simple website = ooh! Internet opporunity This serves 2 purposes: 1. Sell "Flipping Websites for Dummies" or equivalent books to people looking to make a buck. (selling books = $$$). Also sell them some kits to help identify web sites that can be "flipped" (sell kits!) 2. Suggest a domain marketing website or clearinghouse to bid for domain names. Remember, in war no makes any money except the guys selling the guns. A business selling books to people would make a lot more $$$ than "flipping websites" ever would And of course, it will end up neither being "quick" and you probably won't make a "profit" and it certainly won't be easy. /Guy selling books and kits via infomericals laughs all the way to the bank. Haha this is LOL funny. Read what I say carefully and you’ll see what I mean …

Analyze this:

“Quick profit for owners who flip niche websites”

Quick profit = fast
flip = makes it sound simple
website = ooh! Internet opporunity

This serves 2 purposes:

1. Sell “Flipping Websites for Dummies” or equivalent books to people looking to make a buck. (selling books = $$$). Also sell them some kits to help identify web sites that can be “flipped” (sell kits!)

2. Suggest a domain marketing website or clearinghouse to bid for domain names.

Remember, in war no makes any money except the guys selling the guns. A business selling books to people would make a lot more $$$ than “flipping websites” ever would

And of course, it will end up neither being “quick” and you probably won’t make a “profit” and it certainly won’t be easy.

What's interesting (and what didn't make it into the article) is the huge <span style="background-color:yellow">discreptency</span> between the different website marketplaces. While eBay's "Internet Businesses & Websites" category average selling price is just $78 with a 12% auction success rate, the SitePoint <span style="background-color:yellow">Mraketplace</span> sees an average selling price of just under $2000 with 35-40% auction success rates. We're currently seeing over 1700 websites go onto the auction block every month, with over $1 million in closed transactions on a monthly basis. Thanks for blogging this story.
