I sold a batch of 23 adsense sites, which ended on Sunday. I can't post the auction link, but you can search for my auction on flippa by searching for the site physiotherapycourses DOT info
The sites had been earning well for about 2 months. In the first month they made $236.85, and in the second month they made $624.17. This month they look set to smash last month, as the sites already made $299.61 for the 1st 7 days of July. I had hoped that the sites would sell for at least x10 the average of the last 2 months income, which would have been $4305, especially as the sites were set to earn yet even more money this month, but the sites ended up selling for $2600. I acution was due to end at 8pm GMT, and i also featured the auction twice. Once in the last 36 hours, and again in the last 3 hours. I'm trying to work out what went wrong, and so far i can think of the following:
Selling too many sites in one go? Maybe i should have split them up into smaller batches?
No love for sites that rank in the UK? All of the 23 sites targeted google.co.uk, maybe not so popular on Flippa?
No google analytics data. I instead relied upon getclicky. Maybe this was a mistake?
No adsense revenue red line shown on the graph. Maybe people though my data and screenshots were fake? Bit hard to sell multiple sites this way now, as i'm sure you're only allowed to make use of 1 site using this feature?
Too many attachments? Maybe i overcomplicated the auction, and made it look too desperate to sell?
The disagreement with the bidder in the comments section. No doubt i would have got more for my sites if i hadn't have rejected his bids mid way through the auction, but his actions put me off dealing with him, and from the email exchanges we had mid auction, it would have been an ordeal working with the guy if he had won, so i cut my losses, and also my profit by the look of it.
Ideally, i want to get sites earning for 2 months then flip them, but maybe 2 months isn't long enough? Any advice appreciated.
