I can't stress what Alex says below enough. A couple of years ago I was offered some money to sell my tech blog CenterNetworks - I passed. Then I began to slowly move my time over to my startup CloudContacts. Now my time is nearly 100% (or more) on CC and so the traffic to CN has suffered tremendously and because the traffic has gone down, the services the supposedly monitor web traffic like Compete can't accurately report on the real traffic. And I've also stopped selling ads - so the income has gone from a reasonable amount to very little.
Now I want to sell CN and it has become very hard because a buyer wants traffic and current income. The site has great worth but it's hard to show it. The income/traffic is especially important if you use a service like Flippa. -- Allen On Sun, Dec 18, 2011 at 8:29 AM, Alex Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for all of the responses on and off list, I definitely have a bit > more to go on.
