Selling a website can be quite complex. To help you I have listed some tips I have learned along the way. List the website for sale on digital point or some other market place
- Get screen shots of stats and also revenue screen shots, if you are getting revenue screen shots be sure to blank out and ctr rates and money made per click (press print screen button and paste into graphics editing package)
- Make sure you list the current PageRank and also the predicted iwebtool pagerank. Type in the url www.iwebtool.com/www.yourdomain.com
- If the domain is a good one make sure you point this out.
- Also list the traffic sources, for example,70% from search engines, 10% from bookmarks, 20% from links.
- If it’s a forum, list the posts and number of members.
- If it uses software make sure you list if the sale includes the license.
- If it’s a content site, make it clear if the content is original or copied (from free sources).
- If someone doubts your stats or calls your website, don’t call them names just try to reason with them.

I was looking for ways to diversify my income from the internet when I come across Text Link Ads (affilate link). Text link ads is basically a marketplace where you sell hyperlinks on your website to others.
Its very easy to setup, all you do with wordpress is install the plugin and put one tiny bit of code where you want the ads to display. Then you go to text link ads and add your site to the market place.
I listed this blog www.webbrander.com for sale about two days ago, I have already got a buyer for one link from Forbes (really big American business magazine and site) which is great. See the Naveen Jain link at the bottom of this site in the red box. That’s it there. Also if you sign up today there have a special offer of $100 in FREE Links

It has become apparent that I have a problem with registering too many domains, I just can’t stop registering them. I can go without registering domains for a few weeks and then I will have an idea for a website, I go check if the domain is available if it is I register it, if it isn’t then I think of another, check it and register it.
At this point I should really stop but I just can’t. What will usually happen is I get about 10 new ideas for domains and just keep registering them. This happens until I have got about 10-20 domains.
The problem with this method is that the recurring fees for undeveloped domains can wipe out profits. The way I am going to approach this problem is to not register any domains for the next 2 months and try to develop or sell 50% of my registered domains (I have a few hundred at least).
