Re: Trying to Safely Buy an Existing Website

Jeremy,

You need to use a website broker. The best one that I know of is
bizbuysell.com, which has a section for websites. The way this should work
is the money is paid to the broker on your end, and control of the entire
website, including the domain name is handed over either to you or the
broker. It costs a little more in fees this way, but it is safer and worth
it in the end.

When choosing a broker, check their references and credentials.

Hope this helps,

Hey Peter,

Yes, my definition of targeted traffic are those visitors
interested in a particular service or product, coming to
the advertisers website. I noticed you are an Internet
marketing consultant, which from your web addresses,
look like you focus on search engine optimization, does
that mean you are setting up clients' web pages to
match the interest of potential customers using search
engines or to give them higher ratings on search engines?

Putting aside the shams out there promoting useless
traffic hits, what's the difference between using a link, a
banner ad, or email ad that brings in the same type of
traffic to a web site?

I realize the majority of online surfers use search engines,
but if these legitimate traffic companies are able to use an
ad to capture attention to a website than it is successful.

How many times does a surfer use a search engine, find
what they're looking for and buy from the first web site
they click on? It's still "targeted" traffic. Google Adwords,
Overture all have categories to place your link/words.
These traffic companies also have categories, so I don't
see the difference.

Thanks for your imput though..
