Sitepoint was the most popular website selling marketplace, but as the initial sitepoint business wasn’t about buying or selling anything besides their own eBooks, the managers decided to make a separate company under same ownership and different logo – Flippa – the new internet marketplace (keeping all database, feedback and users). Although the sitepoint market looked rather better than flippa, which hasn’t optimized the space enough, flippa still has a huge success.

As a radical change was the policy of buy/sell, configured only for real website owners which sell profitable websites, leaving the crap away.  There are really nice rules regarding the listing publishing and bidding. Now besides the initial price for listing you should also pay a small fee, which you decide as your or the buyer’s responsibility.

Never the less if you’re selling a profitable biz, you should be sure you’ll get bidders fight for it, as most of my listings are successfully sold in the first 3 days. Besides that you can still use the famous sitepoint listing structure which lets you decide a BIN (buy it now price) , a minimum bid and minimum sale price, you also get to leave feedbacks and private bid. As for both buyer’s and seller’s  comfort the website details as pagerank ,alexa etc. are automatically published, which save time.

Flippa keeps a nice reverence in the users, so no problems appear. Till now flippa allready made over $27,607,559 Sales Overall, and having over 1400 Active Listings and a 35% Listing Sold Overall (which is high as most failed listings happen as a result of the seller’s exaggerated prices).

Sitepoint marketplace remains active but the general succes is on Flippa.

As many of you webmasters either based on total seo or advertising probably used at least any of the following analytical systems to track down and count traffic:

Google Anaytics : probably even the name already resembles the accuracy of the software that counts each visitor. besides the visitor numbers it has lots of other cool tools you need to see inside. the analytical account is absolutely free as it helps webmaster a lot, and the better performance webmasters have … the more they re-invest.

AwStats : the most popular analytical too. appears in each hosting package with the cPanel. Everyone uses it. It is still one of the most popular but not quite accurate.

Well I should probably say that awstats shows at least 10 times more unique visitors /day than goolge analytics.  So … which should you trust ??? I say google, not only because it is made by the most genius programming minds in the world, but also because it can show exactly where the visitor came and hist after destination.

BTW: Wordpress Plugin – Shortstat show a enlarged stat too …

Use google analytic … it’s free

I have a really nice manager at neverblue, name’s Bryon. He kindly helped me in answering to a “dilemma” I have came upon on facebook. None of my dating niche ads are getting approved so i asked him if there’s any reason for this. He actually told some pretty interesting facts:

Facebook is skeptic upon mentioning ‘We are the best…’ I don’t think facebook (or the search engines for that matter) like it when people use Best, better, worst etc… in their ads. Now what I have also heard is that facebook is really cracking down on dating ads because they apparently  have found that dating is ALL OVER facebook and they wanna tone it down a little.

Another thing im thinking is happeneing is FB wants to see more specific geographic targeting. I have heard that FB finds geo-targeting to better reflect their ideal user experience and thus makes getting things approved on FB more likely.
Use These Hints & Share Anything You Find Worth…

As I’ve mentioned in my previous post I got accepted at neverblue. in this post I’m going to speak about the opportunities they give:

1) They take it serious when it comes to accepting so no losers apply and destroys relationships between advertisers and companies. This way the traffic is higher, products are sold and payouts are higher.

2) The platform is the best ones, as most of the tools they offer. It is quite simple to navigate and gives all the info like : link, target, accepted targeting , etc. Not like crappy old cj java …

3) All the best offers a there as they’ve got a really strong filtering when it comes to them.

4) Highest payouts.

5) You get a manager which can be contacted anytime via any contact form : email, phone, cellphone , msn ,etc. Which till now answered all my questions.

6) Tools are one of the things keeping neverblue closer to the clients, compare to other companies related. Tools may be simple such as reporting, but also useful like country redirecting … that’s right .. country redirects ;D .

Well, I’ve just started my CPA at facebook and just getting the first ads approved but I know it’ll be great. If you need accepted, let me refer you, as they usually accept those referred.

Have any questions, just contact or comment, I will be glad to help. As a nice ppc marketer said : “there’s no stupid question as the one not asked”…

I can’t say that offering my client justhost was a good idea. I promised helping setting the new account with the website I sold him in exchange of using my cj link … I regret I did that. The hosting company didn’t even send a FTP Server IP so I can’t even access it via filezilla. Dudes and all other internet geeks like me … I suggest paying a buck more and registering to a good hosting company than have to wait all nigh for the cheapest to answer.

First of  all you need to understand that ther’s a difference between the paind version (ex: phpLinkBid) . You’re less protecte, less themes, less support, but anyways some of the scripts are nice.

My frst directory under the lbs platform was infogamerz.com . I did all he work, the seo, the design, etc. LBS has a nice forum, nice supoort , good people . It’s easy to install, not to many themes but anyways easy to use.

Had a success with infogamerz.com  Got PR2 , got bids, made money. Sold for 90$ .. cause of PR ban … stupid mistake , but that was long time ago .
