I often see people who want to sell their website which they created one day ago on wordpress with a nice theme... No, this is not the right way. I'm now trying to let my other websites grow and give it a good traffic so I can have a look if it's profitable for myself. If not, I'll try to sale it or shut the website down. That’s impressive!

I have some experience with buying and selling domains and have done ok with that, but don't have experience with buying whole websites. But, reading your post has motivated me to further look in to this.

I was looking around the web for such information (mind you, I even found a free video course) and got directed here from TS2. The outline you've given is especially down to earth and really very much what I would apply (I'm no techie) to real estate on the web. In the past, actual real estate has been good to me (with accidental flips) and I see no reason why this virtual real estate should not be real - with what you've spelled out here. I'd like to say hello to Ben Helps for his helpful responses above too. If you've got actual tips/suggestions for me (especially for techie help) I'm listening. IN fact, I'd like to get in touch with decent but not overpriced web masters (real techies and not like me).

I've run campaigns on a couple of my sites now - one I phased out as soon as it was indexed in Google and the other I'm still running. The one I stopped as soon as Google picked the site up, is only making money through AdSense and AdBrite, so it wasn't earning enough to support the campaign. Also as I've setup more sites of a similar nature I've interlinked them prominently, so I didn't need to give Google any help to find them quickly. The other one however makes money from Amazon in a competitive niche and I have limited ability to customise that site, so 1. I need the AdWords campaign there to keep getting targetted traffic to it, and 2. it brings in enough to pay for the campaign. @Noobpreneur: Hmm, depends I guess.

Congrats :) Anyway, you said that you are using AdWord - is it a good investment? I mean, if it's only purpose is to getting indexed by Google, IMO setting up a sitemap works better. Just curious :) Ben,

That’s great! Congrats :)

Per my comment above I decided to try my hand at site flipping at the end of May (after this article finally tipped me into action). I trolled the site auction sites (like SitePoint) and picked up a few existing sites and a script for a new site and set to work. I ran a short AdWords campaign for my first site and then linked it to my following sites to help them get indexed in Google. My only site flipping revenue streams so far are from AdSense, AdBrite and Amazon (preferred the more set-n-forget type of sites). June my gross revenue was $8.55, and July so far is $48.62! My only current ongoing cost is $10/month hosting. W00t! Hey Yaro and all,
