A Day Off, And A New Site-Flip Project Underway
Posted on 23. Aug, 2008 by Benjamin Patton in Internet Marketing Tips
Due to some recent events here in the bogosphere I decided it was time to try my hand at a site flip. Essentially in the last 24 hours I have purchased a domain, built a site, written content and customized and monetized this new deal to the teeth. While I am happy with the overall result I am almost ready to put this site up for auction and see what happens.
Now this will be published as a mini-series in early September for everyone to read. Essentially Site Flipping is catching on with some people and I thought it would benefit everyone else not already in on the craze to hear what exactly was going on from a total first timers perspective. I hope you will forgive my day off plus a very short post today about this, but I am sure once the auction is over and the mini-series is posted that you will be quite happy with the results. I am not disclosing at this time the URL or pretty much anything about it until the deal is done. Those of you who do know. Be quiet!

Ben,
I look forward to your post but I have a question.
I understand the concept in real estate that the flip should be as quick as possible, but in web sites, isn’t there an advantage to holding onto the domain long enough to generate good traffic and backlinks?
thanks

I’m watching man…there are so many ways to do this. You can build the sites up and flip later, build turnkey sites to sell quickly, and so many other combinations.
You moved quickly on this, and I will be anxious to read that mini-series. I’m telling everybody the site name! lol, just playing.

Good luck with the project! I’m trying it out myself.

@Bryan Bliss You know this is probably a good way to get the back links, establish traffic and monetization and provide a record. This would move the site in question to an established site listing. I am absolutely sure a site will net more bottom line this way, but for my first time out of the box I wanted to attempt a start up site flip as the concept is very interesting to me. The site is on sitepoint this very minute, and will be listed for the next 7 days. I am debating whether to link from here or to wait until I write the series on what I did, and recommendations from the pro’s.
@JK Swopes I’m indifferent about it , if the name would happen to be leaked out I would not be upset
@Sly let us know how you do!

Great share, can’t wait your project’s result
Great share, I just start my site and here found many benefit things
I’ll be looking forward to the update as to how successful your site flip has been. There’s a lot of value in sites that are put together well and established on a solid seo foundation. Yes, there is value to long-term domains, as they achieve quite a bit of authority over time… but site flipping will allow you to spread out over more bases.
Hi Geoff,
This was a post from a year ago done by Ben, the previous writer on this blog. To my knowledge Ben completed the flip successfully and did a few more after. In face we did a few together pretty successfully.
I have not done a site flip for a while but am planning a new one soon.
Would you be interested in me blogging about that?
Thanks for stopping by.
