5 November 2007

3 Comments

I generally don’t like writing about what another blogger has already written, but Problogger wrote a post on making making blogs that have sold recently. I was thinking of writing a similar post, but I guess now I need not bother. Bloggingfingers.com – $6000 Ryanshamus.com – $2500 (who said you can’t sell a blog with [...]

Think in verticals not niches and a new website

28 October 2007

2 Comments

Over about the past year or so, since I started creating multiple websites the advice has always been to create a website based on a particular niche. The theory goes that it is difficult for new players to break into highly competitive markets. I think niches are still a good way to make money, but [...]

After yesterday’s burst in traffic, I just checked my YouTube stats and I have had 683 views for the video I took on the new Beijing subway line. It looks like a couple of sites picked up the video. I took it on the day that it opened. I actually went there in the morning [...]

I just had one of my best website days in terms of traffic on my Beijing Olympic site. From around 60 visitors to 6000, mostly from Stumbledupon. I know it is going to come down again, but I got some new links and hopefully some new readers. I have been in Beijing a week now [...]

7 Comments

With a potential of 1.3 billion people not having access to your website, you could be missing out on decent some traffic if your website is blocked in China. Ok, not everyone in China has web access but they will surpass the US in the number of people online in the not too distant future. [...]

Staying in Beijing for a while

After nearly six months of constant travel, I have moved into an apartment in Beijing. The whole process was so easy. Basically if you have the money, no-one seems to mind what you are doing. The complex has several huge apartment towers with a coffee shop and a whole bunch of other basic shops to [...]

Get hundreds of links to your site

10 September 2007

6 Comments

I recently wrote about ways to get links to your site. It is a painstaking effort trying to get links by emailing webmasters and submitting to directories. I suppose I was fortunate enough that a couple of people responded to my email and added my site. I am doing it for my next big project [...]

My current and next big project

I started a blog on the Beijing Olympics in October 2005. I have been blogging sporadically there since. I have even had thoughts of trying to sell the domain as I had gotten bored with the site. I was recently approached by a potential partner to work on the site together. He has some great [...]

Facing foreclosure site finally sold off

1 August 2007

Casey Serin formally of iamfacingforeclosure.com has sold off his domain for $50,000. He did have one offer at one stage of $20,000 and a share of future revenues but he didn’t go through with that deal. The content was not included in the transaction, making it a fairly decent sale for just a domain. It [...]

Facebook and the 30 day challenge

30 July 2007

I just finished watching Ed’s video on Facebook for the thirty day challenge. I was intending to send a friend invite just to the people in my team but before I knew what I was doing I sent an invite to all 400 contacts in my address book. It’s not too bad in a way, [...]
