Website Flipping

When I bought my first website I looked for a couple days and found one that looked amazing and had a product to sell and I thought I was going to make so much money off it… Not… I bought it and it ended up being a site that had 1,000 others just like it on the web.

So Is it Worth it?

Before you purchase a site there are some things to look at.

Is it worth it tip #1: Is the content on the site/blog copied or original? You can check this by entering the URL at copyscape. If Copyscape comes up with anything then the sites value drastically decreases.

Is it worth it tip #2: Is the site banned by google or other search engines? Check iwebtools.com to see if the site is banned from Google. A website that is banned is basically useless, so watch out for banned sites.

Is it worth it tip #3: How many backlinks does the site have. Backlinks are one of the most important things to search engines, so a good quality backlinks are worth a lot. Check backlinks by going into Google or Yahoo and typing link:www.yoursite.com and the results will show the backlinks coming to that site. Yahoo is said to give better results, but try both and see what you get.

Is it worth it tip #4: Check the Page Rank. Page Rank is how google ranks websites quality. Nobody really knows exactly the way page rank works, but backlinks are very important. If you have good backlinks your going to start moving up the PR ladder. Check a websites Page Rank Here.

These are some important things you need to be thinking about when looking into a website. Don’t be taken advantage of because you don’t know what to look for.

I hope this has opened your eyes a bit and given you something to look for in the future.
