Thanks for the info. What I need is close enough to their content that it's preferable to clone and make modifications.

I'm looking for someone that can clone this site: http://moving-careers.com/ This site has a ton of features & pages that I don't need and would modify/delete. If it's easier to clone the entire site, please let me know. Otherwise, I can send you a list of the specific modifications. Thanks...

Being a real estate agent in the US, I can tell you that agents receive solicitations every day similar to what you are proposing. Agents are able to post their listings on the top sites (Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, their local MLS) for free and the listings are then syndicated to hundreds of...

Is it the selling part or the purchasing part of the business that needs a boost? Small classified ads or e-mails to Craigslist sellers (particularly of estate sales) might help you find inventory.

We used to sell collectible toys, and there never seemed to be a standard formula for views translating to bids. 95% of the bids came in the last 5 minutes of the auction, and I'm sure there was a buyer hitting refresh every 20 seconds during some auctions.

$500/month seems competitive for this type of project, maybe with a bonus for performance.

Just make sure your state doesn't require you to have a real estate license to find tenants for a fee. Even if it doesn't, getting a license is fairly easy and the same marketing skills that you'd use to find tenants would help you find buyers and sellers for a much larger commission.

One quick suggestion about your sales pitch: Instead of apologizing for interrupting their day, maybe try something like "I know you aren't expecting my call, but I'm hoping that you can take a minute to hear how I can increase the number of customers that come through your door.". Also, be...

I'd try to rank for the less-exact (but more popular) keywords. You can still have pages that are optimized for the specific terms, but if the pie isn't big enough, why fight for the majority of it? It should be easier to rank for related keywords than to convince the general public that they...

Since I can't imagine too many people are searching for those exact keywords, you probably have to develop the site like a new brand. My concern would be that you might not recoup your time investment after spending hours (even with a WP site) to make a couple hundred $$.

I'd imagine that once you attracted the attention of the website, they'd fire off a C&D letter before they considered a lawsuit. I don't think that you'll ever be in the clear by simply trying to transfer the liability to the buyers, but your risk is fairly low. Stay under the radar, make a few...

Thanks for posting the question. I've often wondered the same thing. Going to try the same experiment over the next couple of weeks...

Sure, GoDaddy makes this a pretty easy process. They've got detailed instructions on their Support pages, or a customer service rep can help you with the transfer. Backed up the site, transfer the domain, and upload the site using the Buyer's FTP information.

My concern would be that as soon as you became successful, you'd show up on the radar of these companies and your work would be for nothing. The thing is, there are plenty of "fan-type" sites that don't seem to attract negative attention by the brands.

Good Work! Way to not cave into the Buyer's demands. I bet he was highly irritated that his complaining didn't pay off.

From what I've read, they don't hurt your rankings (as they get interpreted as a "space"), but URLs with keywords might seem like knockoffs to the average consumer. Use for rankings, but don't count on branding a site with hypens.

I've never seen an official position from Google, but you can't go wrong following the same guidelines they give for AdSense: Product Allowed? Details Timed pop-ups Not allowed Google doesn't allow pop-up windows of any kind when entering or leaving your landing page. Self-closing...

Have you found travel agents receptive to leads? This seems to be a market that is shrinking, with fairly small margins. The travel agents that I'm familiar with in Florida do business by referral only, but you might have some success calling individual agency owners.

Thanks for posting. Some valuable points (and reminders) that can be applied to many businesses.

My vote is that it's 100% not a real letter from Nike. Companies go through a certain procedure to prove that you've received their legal communications, such as certified mail or (more likely) something served by an official of the court.
