2. It’s also important to list in the right category if you want to reach the right buyers. List a turnkey (new site/no history) in Premium Sites and you’ll get a lot of posters annoyed at your mistake. More crucially, you won’t get the buyers who are looking for turnkey sites.

3. Prepare properly for the listing, get all your ducks in a row. Collect the information that buyers typically ask for e.g., traffic and earning stats and have that all to hand. Create some graphs and images that demonstrate the key selling points, people like pictures. Store these, and any spreadsheets you create, on your own site if you wish for control over them or allow for future deletion. Do the type of due diligence checks your buyers are going to be doing so you can uncover any adverse signals and explain them or compensate for them.

4. Think carefully about your title. This is very, very important. The title is your bait to draw bidders in. Don’t be tempted to use it to boast about your achievements. Draw up a shortlist of the top reasons someone would want to buy your site. Then trim it to just one or two. And draft and redraft those to convey the message in the most succinct and inviting way. Words like “established” may be a waste of characters if you’re listing in the Premium or Established categories. Don’t lie, don’t exaggerate, don’t use all caps.

Some recent examples of bad text in titles:
Made $75 in 2 days (draws people’s attention to your lack of history and gives them an excuse not to click)
mywebsitename.com is for sale (unless you’re a well known name this is likely to be meaningless to the average buyer)
BARGAIN - DO NOT MISS (comes across as immature. Don’t use all caps and don’t beg for buyers to read your auction.)
abcdmysite.com: A site dedicated to the World Reknowned Game (this isn’t a speech at the Oscars, no dedications are necessary. The title is not the place for extended explanations of what the site is about)

5. In the auction listing itself, provide as much information as necessary without overwhelming buyers. Explain clearly what your site does and how it makes money, don’t assume everybody will figure it out. Talk about your traffic and where it comes from. Be honest. Don’t boast about fake PR as someone will catch you out. Don’t claim that all traffic was free if you’ve been running paid ad campaigns (as even that can be uncovered in due diligence).

6. This isn’t a stage for your own talents. Boasting about how many Digg frontpages you get or how clever you are at SEO may be counter productive as that suggests to the buyer that you are key to the site’s success.

7. Manage your thread. Yes, your auction thread needs to be managed. Show good faith by amending your auction listing if something comes to light that you didn’t disclose earlier - or add a comment. Delete comments that add no value .e.g, “fantastic site, good luck with the sale”. Answer questions publicly where possible as it will be of use to buyers watching from the shadows.

8. Use a tinyURL kind of service for your main domain instead of listing the domain in the auction. Some buyers could be dissuaded from bidding because of the perceived negative SEO, DMOZ or brand value associated with a public announcement of sale. Similarly, don’t change WHOIS once your auction has started - leave that to the winning bidder to do on completion of sale. Don’t make any major site changes in the interim either or you’ll spook some buyers.

9. Appreciate that sometimes buyers pull out post-sale so keep non-winning bidders on-side, don’t burn your bridges. You may need to get back to them with a second chance offer.

10. For goodness sake, use an escrow service if the value is high enough to lose you some sleep should you get conned.

Business Broker sites or Business Transfer Agents
(For the sale of higher value businesses)

If you’re looking to sell a $100 website then this is obviously not the right place. Sites and businesses for sale here typically range from the low five figures to several millions of pounds/dollars/U-rue. For sites under $10K the webmaster forums below are probably a better bet.

BizBuySell.com also has a fair few of the six-figure-and-above web businesses. Costs of $45 and $75 for standard and premium listings. Your listing stay live for two months.

Business-sale.com lists UK businesses selling for over £250,000. Listing is free for three months if you sign up for their newsletter.

Tip: When using a broker make sure the broker is working for you, not the buyer. His commission being a percentage of the sale fee is an incentive but in itself not sufficient protection. Read our article: Making your broker earn his commission.

eBay: eBay is, of course, a good place to sell anything. Haven’t you seen any “Find broken glass” or “Best prices on used condoms” ads yet? With businesses and websites worth $30K+ however… eBay is a tricky market. You’ll need to bear in mind that prospective buyers have spent a lot of time weeding out templates, cookie cutters, various get rich quick schemes, and more than the odd con. They’re reading your auction with some deal of wariness and it’ll be up to you to build the trust required to close the sale.

Sub $30,000 sites

Various webmaster forums like the below. Don’t forget to read our top ten tips to make the most of your forum listing and maximise your sale price.

Digital Point: This forum has become very active very quickly. Hosts both WTB and Site For Sale posts. No charge for posting. The rules are more relaxed here than at some other forums, and the moderation less rigid. 1000 PM limit so ample for most users. Probably the best bet for most lower value sites for sale.

Sitepoint: Now charging up to $40 for their most expensive listing but may be worth it if you expect your site to sell for anywhere from $100 to about $30K. Note that the PM box is limited to a total (inbox + sent) not greater than 250. You may need to empty your PM folder regularly or risk missing some enquiries. Links to online auctions or external pages advertising your site for sale are not permitted.

Search Engine Forums: Part of the big Jim’s World webmaster forums. Was down for a year or so, was moved, and is now active again. No Pr0n, casino, gaming or spammy sites allowed. Wanted ads welcome. No charge for listing. Our site provided the official buying guides on this forum.

WHT: Web Hosting Talk is, as the name suggests, not really a site dedicated to selling and buying businesses. However, the link leads you to a section on their forum where a lot of sites do sell. These tend to be sites costing under $10,000 with most of them under $2,000. Free to list your site or post a WTB (Want to Buy).

Geek Village: They definitely don’t like adult sites here. Posts limited to one free post every 30 days. Generally for sites worth less than $10,000. WTB allowed. Free listing.

Webmaster Talk: Not as active as the others, but still worth a shot. It’s a free listing for sale or purchase.

Domain State: Little known but at least as good as one or two of the others above. Free listing.

DNForum: This is a paid forum and the focus is more on domains than on websites. But, complete sites do sell here. Tip: You could save on the membership costs by buying DNF membership elsewhere. WHT (above) often has threads where people sell their “spare” memberships. Browse through there for a few days and you are bound to find one. DNF does allow adult sites to be listed buy you’ll have to be discreet in your wording of the title and the post.

Sitebazaar: Like the webmaster forums Sitebazaar generally has the lower priced sites and has a basic search feature. The few categories offered include Adult, Sport and General. The site allows you to search for sub $1000, sub $10K and above $10K.

Hotscripts is worth visiting if the main asset on your site is the script/program/code behind it? Sitepoint also has a Scripts and Software forum.

Site Owners Forum: A newer forum without the member base that some of  the others have.

Performancing: Listing of blogs for sale. Still very basic and yet to gain traction.

Sedo: One of the best known places for the sale and purchase of domains. Others are Namepros and Afternic. They use their own internal escrow.

Business forums (like Aardvark), and pretty much any other community of webmasters like V7N, a forum fast gaining popularity.

Website Broker: Not a forum, just a marketplace. Has sites for sale listed by category so easy for buyers to browse. The fact that it charges for listings reduces the noise. The standard format offerings are presented in makes for easier comparisons across sites.

Daniweb: A developer forum so may be more suited to sites and domains of a particular nature.

DNScoop of the questionable valuation tool also have a forum for buying / selling.

Last and least: Loot, Craigslist and other local classifieds. Note that in Loot, for example, you don’t want the “Internet Services and Equipment” section under “Businesses and Loans” but the “Opportunities” section. I would have given you a link direct to the relevant page if it wasn’t for their less than inspired navigation/URLs. Loot wouldn’t be my first choice and I wouldn’t list a site in there at all unless it happened to cater for people in a small geographical area (as Loot readers are generally looking for something in their backyard).

Important tips to make the most of your forum listing. 

Adult sites:

Since adult content comprises so much of the internet, and most forums don’t allow the sale or listing of adult sites, it would remiss to not point out at least one location where you can list your over 18 content: go****yourself.com. It has an active site buying and selling section. The asterisks are, of course, replaced by the world’s favourite “F” expletive. Other “adult” webmaster forums, like just7blow8me dot com (remove the numbers) do also allow listings.

Other ideas:

Put a notice on your site itself. Create a page, put as much information you feel comfortable disclosing and stick a form on there for interested parties to contact you to find out more. You could maybe even get them to agree to your Non Disclosure Agreement (link coming) as part of the form.

If you don’t want your usual visitors to see it don’t link to that page from your homepage. You can give it an obscure link from the bottom of your sitemap or some other rarely visited page and search engine spiders will find the Sale page. If confidentiality is really, really important don’t list it on the site at all (as it could come up in a search for “Site:www.yoursite.com” i.e. a search that lists all the pages on your site). Ask a friend to host your page for you. 

What words would someone looking for a site try in their favourite search engine? “Site for sale”, “Want to buy a site”, “Buy websites”? Or they may try to search on phrases that sellers are likely to have used: “This site for sale”, “Buy this site”, “Selling this site”. Optimise for those.

The second method is about creating mini-sites on Buzz (trends.google.com) keywords and then selling them

I think all of us should start selling popular methods as our own on Warrior Forum.

1. Buy a Rapidshare Premium account from it! If you have already CONGRATS! You have to spend just 1 cent.
2. Now buy a hosting from Hostgator.com Buy the baby plan and enter coupon code “freetrial” and it will cost 1 cent. When it asks for domain enter www.itdoesntmatterstome.com because you wont need one. After payment you would get account info to your mail. Upload the script called Rapidleech which can be downloaded from www.rapidleech.com

CrazyEgg Self-described as a visualization tool to improve, test, and track your site, CrazyEgg is best used for publishers to generate “heatmaps” of where people are clicking on their site. This data can be used to make better decisions on where to place ads to get more clicks and response from users. CrazyEgg allows you to set up tests so you can effectively test the difference between two different ad sizes in the same spot, two different color palettes, or totally changing an ad’s location. It’s easy to setup, it just requires signing up for an account and placing some code in your page footer. You then create a test and start tracking clicks. The free version allows you to track up to 5,000 visits and track 4 different pages at once. There are paid plans if you want to do more in-depth tests.

RMX DirectIf you’re working with ad networks, you should be working with RMX Direct. RMX Direct is a free ad network manager that helps you sell your inventory easily and for maximum revenue. It allows you to work with networks directly that are part of the Right Media Exchange, as well as auction your own ad networks like Google Adsense, YPN, Valueclick, Tribal Fusion, or anyone else. Auctioning your inventory is the best way to maximize your revenue, and RMX Direct has other cool features that make managing ad networks a much better process. Check out a previous post about using it manage contextual ad networks.

Feedburner If you run a blog or a website with RSS, you need to be running your RSS feed(s) through Feedburner. There are numerous benefits alone in the streamlining, analyzing, and optimizing of RSS feeds by using Feedburner, but if you have enough subscribers it’s an ad revenue stream as well. If I wasn’t consolidating and tracking my RSS subscribers through my Feedburner feed, I probably would have never bothered advertising within my feed. Feedburner makes it extremely easy to advertise in your feed once you hit 500 subscribers, so I’m now just making additional revenue without additional work. Bravo.

AdsBlackListIf you’re using Google Adsense, you should be using AdsBlackList. It’s a site that compiles user submissions of sites that are “Made For Adsense” sites and low cost per click advertisers. When you sign up for an account, it has you enter your site and some keywords about it. It then returns a list of “Made for Adsense” and low cost per click advertisers you can then ban from showing ads on your site. Besides probably helping increase the quality of ads, you’re also hurting the distribution of a lot of junk in Google’s system. I have not run specific tests on if the overall revenue per click goes up after banning their suggested lists, but other publishers have reported good results.

Google AnalyticsYes, it has performance issues. Yes, there is a lag time before you get your data. Yes, it’s Google. However, Google Analytics is still the most complete free web analytics tool out there. For this article, the benefit of Google Analytics as it relates to ad revenue is that you need to analyze your traffic and find out what type of content is interesting to them, what keywords are they using to find you, what referring sites are there, and what geography your users from. Armed with that data you can now make decisions. Can you identify an underserved area of your site that users are interested in? Interested users means more page views which equals more money! Do you have a lot of visitors from a foreign country? Perhaps it’d be good to sign up with an ad network based in that country and geotarget it to those users with a tool like

RMX Direct? You can’t make smart decisions without data, and Google Analytics provides it for free. Amigo For those of you who are still signing up users for email newsletters, Amigo operates much like an ad network except it’s a tool for email advertising. Sign up with Amigo and they’ll match ads and stick ads into your email newsletters earning you additional revenue. If you don’t have an email newsletter, maybe it’s time to start one?

Google Adwords Keyword Tool I know this tool is meant for Adwords advertisers, but it can be a great way for publishers to find out what search phrases are paying a lot per click if they’re using Adsense or YPN. Click on the “Site-related Keywords” tab, and enter in the URL of a site in the topic you’d like to research. Check the “Include other pages on my site linked from this URL” box, then select “Cost and Ad Position Estimates”, and enter something large like $50.00. You’ll get a result that shows keywords along with an estimate of the CPC they require to get to the estimated ad position. This is a rough way to find out what topics and terms are generating high revenue per click to focus your content. You can also get estimates of search volume and search volume trends if you’re curious as to how the keywords in the topic stack up there.

Yahoo/Overture Keyword ToolThe famous Yahoo/Overture tool returns keywords that contain the keyword you enter, along with the number of searches on Yahoo Search from the previous month. Many question the accuracy of this data as some strange terms sometimes have really high search counts, but regardless it can be a good estimate of search volume and provides a way to brainstorm additional topics to cover to get more traffic and ad revenue. It also provides a good counterbalance if you’re using the Adwords Keyword Tool. If a keyword looks interesting to you in both tools, chances are it’s an interesting keyword in reality.

Quantcast A newer and very cool data/ranking service is out called Quantcast. Quantcast “quantifies” publisher sites and provides an Alexa-like traffic estimate and ranking, but takes it a step further and provides demographic estimates of your audience such as age, gender, household income, ethnicity, and education. It doesn’t stop there either, and shows interesting things like “Siteographics” which shows what entertainment the audience likes, what retail stores they shop at, and what magazines they check out. It also shows what keywords they used and what other sites are similar in audience. Here is the Quantcast data for YouTube.com. Why is this cool? Well, once you start selling advertising on your site directly to advertisers, they are often interested in demographic data. The beauty of Quantcast is that they’ll get the data for you and you can point advertisers to this objective third party that has the data. If your site is big enough, they probably already have you listed. If not, you “Quantify” your site by placing a bit of code in the footer of your site template and it will start grabbing the data.

SurveyMonkeyIf you don’t trust Quantcast or want your own specific data, you can use SurveyMonkey to create surveys you can show to your audience via popup windows or direct link. It’s a free service, and is pretty easy to use to setup surveys and distribute them. Just like the benefits of Quantcast, this is great data to provide to advertisers about your audience, and SurveyMonkey results make a great addition to your online media kit or page that pitches advertising on your site. Webmaster Forums While not specifically a tool, I felt it necessary to point out some of the top discussion forums where there are web publishers talking about advertising and how to make more money.

Searching - Google

Ad Revenue - Yahoo (well that all depends on your niche too)

Portal and news updates - Yahoo

eMail - You pick they are both rather nice

You have to be more specific with your question.

Yeah everyone says google is better. Google is no where near the size that yahoo is when you look at the big picture. Google is 100 times better search engine hands down. They also make more money then yahoo. But yahoo kills them in almost everything else like stocks, news, articles, gossip, movie reviews, music, shopping etc. Yahoo is a massive all in one portal. Where google is good when you need to search for something.
