i need some help with that any advice will help
thanks in advance
itzik,

 

What's the URL?

 

Well, it should be done properly then because you will be investing so much. I would recommend going through escrow.com which is more secure for both parties involved. I would also put a stipulation in the agreement about the income with a little bit of leniency that it could lose some of its income after you takeover. However, you know if it went from earning $3000.00 per month to earing $20.00 then there is something fishy going on.

 

That seems very cheap. Has it been earning this much for very long?

 

i saw some reports from november of last year

 

well i am giving him only 5K and the rest with site earning i think if he agree for that it is a posetive move i will do it through escrow well he promise support with site promotion to so i will not left alone with that after i buy

 

Honestly dude this sounds fishy. So you mean you will pay $5k upfront and the rest of the $10k with the revenue the site earns once its in your hands?

 

itzik82, I'm sure you are probably more aware of whether it is a scam or not. I guess I just never give people the benefit of the doubt hardly online anymore. Although I've never been scammed, I see it too frequently. You should be aware though that this guy would love to sell a website worth less than $100.00 for $5000.00. I would definitely avoid paying via PayPal. I would still likely use escrow.com even if it costs a little bit more. Good luck on your purchase though!

 

Dude, the guy will not help you with promotion once it's sold. He's gone.

 

I dont think this is legit... you need more proofs prefer video proof.

 

I agree. In that case, why doesn't he hold on to the site if he has to wait for the website earnings??
Too fishy. You'll be sorely disappointed after you pay him the $5K, I think.

 

yea sounds scammy
who not insane will sell page making so big profit for so small amount? nobody

 

Ask him to record a video where he shows his face + analytics stats (from 24 months) + his clickbank account (from 24 months). If he refuses, you'll know it's a scam (if he says "he doesn't have video cam" tell him to "you've got money, buy one")

If he accepts and does it quickly.... well, that alone doesn't necessarily prove anything - but at least you can check pretty quickly if this guy is a scammer IF he refuses the above thing.

 

I would not ask for video proof. It is too much problem for sellers, and they have others who may be looking into buying, so....

Instead, ask him to let you into his log file so you can see the number of visitors he gets.

That alone tells plenty.

Also use Analytics to check for visitors and bounce rate.

Anf the most important thing to do is to put that money in escrow for 30 days, which is enough time to see if the numbers are indeed legit. If they are not, you get your money back, and he gets his site back.

If he is legit, he will agree to these.

If not, there's your answer.

But, then again, if he has a lot of monthly visitors, like, say, 150,000, you don't need to do the escrow. The visitor rate, along with the bounce rate, will tell you all you need to know.

Do research. Look under keywords, like, "how to buy a website."

But me thinks you are going to go ahead and buy it anyway.

If you get bent over from this deal, you have only yourself to blame.

 

ask for traffic proof.

 

I'm about 99% sure this is a scam.

When it sounds too good to be true, it is. A three year old popular site in a good niche selling for 6 months revenue? If anyone actually has a legit one of those, I'll buy it in a second.

 

Can we have a look at the url so i can inspect it and give you my opinion.

 

Maybe he paid for the traffic and the proof is a Photoshop modified one, is not very hard to be done.
Check how many links are on the internet with his website address.
Investigate some of them, if there are in reviews and that webmaster does not do pay-per-review that will be deleted after some time, maybe you are really lucky, if not is a scam.
Anyone can get cheap, low quality traffic, only to show you that him get's a lot of visitors.

 

post the url here, im sure everyone can tell you.

 

Yeah, the ownership and marketing will be completely in your hands, so make sure you've found out exactly how he's marketing now.
