Alright, I always see these sites that are “established” with “income” listed for sale. Normally they don’t sell, but I always see them.
You know, the text says stuff like, “Have you ever wanted to run your own online business from the comfort of your own home with the potential to make over $100k per year but did,nt know where to start.If so then you have come to the right place.This is your chance to bid on a popular proven real ecommerce website business and not an amateur maybe it might make you money website that is found on so many auction.”
Here is one such scammy, scummy, site for sale. What I don’t like about them can be found in the following picture:
Now “scam” might be a strong word, but Merriam-Webster says scam is defined as, “a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation”.
So saying that the appriasal for this website is $22,400 is definintely deceptive. The website is worth $10 (domain) plus maybe $30 for an ugly template that has been used on at least 5 other identical websites.
So here is me, calling you scammers out. If your websites are really worth anything, lets have a contest. You vs. Me, Head to Head, One on One.
If your websites can make $100,000 per year like you say they can, I want to see a check!

Page Rank isn’t about links, it’s true. Page Rank is Google’s silly way of giving us value on our domains, but trust me, links don’t matter. I don’t know what actually does matter, maybe it is unique visitors, maybe amount of unique content.
Here is some proof:
I have two sites, one with about 5 incoming links, one with 1500. Which should have higher PR?
PR 3 Here are the incoming links for site 1…only about 5 links are coming from outside sites.
PR 0 Here are the incoming links for site 2…over 1,000 links coming from outside sites.
You decide, is Page Rank really about links or is the wool firmly over our collective eyes?

It’s contest time!
Let’s imagine for a moment that you aren’t a millionaire and you only had $100 to spend on SEM (search engine marketing).
What would you do? How would you spend that $100?
All you have to do is send me an email with the best way to spend $100 marketing your website. The website could be new or old, but you can’t spend over $100 exactly on your marketing.
You could have articles written, buy PPC ads, buy a site review, whatever. Make sure you give me some details because I might be using your idea in a future post.
If you are the winner, you will get your choice of spending $150 on this site. $150 will get you the following:
Complete Site Review (1 review)
Contextual links (2 links in either one or two posts, your choice)
