It wasn't a complete waste IMO. The site was doing mid five figures a month (peaking at $80K).

The sale happened in 2017 - 5 years ago.

When the sale occurred, shit hit the fan - primarily due to the owner talking about Scholarship Link Building**, the sale amount and website details publicly. Many of these "SEO" and "Entrepreneurship" blogs picked up and couldn't stop salivating at this. End result, it caught Google's eye - with a huge swam of "holier than thou" idiots on Google openly tagging Cutts and the Google search team.

The new owner obviously wasn't too happy - and so they worked together to recover the site somehow. The site did recover rapidly and really well and stayed so for a really long time until better competition sprung up, the owners didn't update content and it slowly began dropping off the SERPs. However, I am pretty sure the owner managed to recover their investment.

Here is a convo about the recovery (I think it took like 4 or 5 days LOL)



To others reading this, this is why you don't thump your chest about website sales. And a lot of people prefer to keep their site sales private.

**Scholarship Link building is a form EDU link building, where you approach universities and offer a faux "scholarship" to their students - the university will often post this on their portal with a link to your site.

i did this.. it was a good method until everyone and their mother started doing as well... at the end you had sites selling vibr4tors and d1ldos and other nonsense using the scholarship method lol.
 
If you can go back in time, what are the top 3 courses you'll take after the basics are clear?
Start building out websites, you will learn more doing the stuff than learning about it.

I've been doing it(for years TBH), but I stopped gaining more knowledge and doubled down on my existing Knowledge. It was great for years until two of my main sites were hit in the May 2022 update, and I realized I had no knowledge or mentor to help me out.

Things have been falling since then. That's why I'm trying to gain more info. Sadly, nothing helped. I tried balancing the Affiliate/content ratio, blah blah, but nothing worked... Can you please be my mentor in this difficult time?

Just on messages. Please...

Try something else, like Instagram pages.
 
@RealDaddy , that was prior to the Amazon Associates' 1% and 3% commission rates as I can recall, simpler and easier times for just about everything, similar to the MyArticleNetwork, LinkVana, and iSnare massive submissions with 1 article to rank top 3..I am sure you remember some of those times :)

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the buyer got her ROI back and then some judging the traffic levels I still saw when that site was popular...I was glued to it too. Traffic levels were big.

Similar thinking here @BlogPro , especially if the person thumping their chest provides a related or relevant service.

I think there's a way to do it correctly, which is with folks you've helped achieve 'some' success, and by nature, I think it can only backfire due to a buyer's maturity and experience, and that's regardless of how well-intended, squared away or how solid your disclaimers in an offering pitch have been. I think it comes down to a person's maturity secondary to experience, not the other way around.

Also reminds me about Organic Traffic Formula, think I bought it for the like $600 years ago when it was available. I knew it'd create the wrong expectations for a large group of folks regardless how well-intended Spencer was/is. The Aura behind it was basically, "you can do it too" because I am just like you type of interpretation in my books. I bought the course, but only to see the 6 figure site and some of the process for just a few aha moments, others I am sure thought it was their ticket to freedom without doing much, which I believe ended up in too much of a headache for the good seller without needing it, especially with US law, so yet another reason to eliminate its from his repertoire.

Just like Amazing.com and other information biz models that now normally the idea behind it takes 2-3 years for momentum (*sometimes a lot more) if it isn't the unlikely quick home run. If the buyer's expectations are mostly from the owner's success, in the end I think that's a probable ticket for disaster, yet that "Amazing" branded domain nicely continues now for $200 per month compared to the $5k ticket price back a few years ago as I last checked.

End of the day, I think there are just correct ways to humbly brag about things, just like anyone getting the latest $1,500 Harvard Biz school online certificates, efforts and achievements are a high selling point without being "salesy", as they often present uniqueness, differentiation and even scarcity/prestige/status. Bragging rights literally ANYONE slightly competent can now get for peanuts from Harvard Biz School for sparkling a CV/resume for around $1k, I mean, eyes on the beholder, but that's a steal if you're corporate. Nice comment and reminder brother.
