Traffic for Site Flipping

Site-flipping, or buying & selling sites for profit, has become "all the rage". Unfortunately, many people mistakenly believe 'any' site will sell, or have unrealistic expectations of what they will get for their sites.

One of the most important factors in successfully flipping a site is traffic. Without it, you won't get much for your site.

Pay Per Click (PPC) is a great way to generate quick, strong traffic to a site for flipping. Even though this is "conditional" traffic - meaning when you stop advertising, your traffic slows - it is acceptable for flipping, as long as it is stated clearly.

If you are monetizing your site through product sales or membership fees, there is nothing wrong with using PPC to generate your sales and traffic.

Even if you are monetizing though advertising, such as Adsense, this will work, as long as you can show a profit.

There's an interesting article, part 1 of a series, on our favorite blog "Improve Your Internet Marketing" that goes into site-flipping.

Take a look (and bookmark it so you can read the whole series): Secrets to Website Flipping.
