Discussion in 'Commission Junction' started by zabby, Jan 21, 2008.

    Came across this website forsale:
    Political Cute(dot)Com

    Im hoping to cashin on the Hot popular Presidential political campaign market by buying an already existing website. The seller has reported Commission Junction revenue profit for first month = $225

    My question is how would i be able to transfer the Commission Junction Ebay program into my name after sale?
    What would be involved?
    Can i expect to receive the same amount of profits once i change it into my name, Or should i expect a decrease in profits?:(



    Thank you for any knowledgable advice,
    Michael Grant

    since the seller claims all traffic is 100% organic, the revenue should remain fairly stable. to transfer, it should be as simple as changing the ebay pid to your own.

    You would first have to sign up for a CJ account, then apply for the eBay affiliate program. Once you're accepted, you could just replace the links with your own.

    1. ask to see screen shots of proof of revenue, this is normal when buying a site with claims like that.

    2. ask to see screen shots of traffic

    3. check that no script on the site is copyright and he has the right to resell

    4 he is claiming inbound links, you can check that by going to wholinkstome.com

    if all that checks ok you just need to change the cj pid as mentioned above, that part is easy. also look at what other people are asking on the thread, a lot more knowledgeable people out there than you or I. good luck

    And realize also that the duration of the site is limited. In a year, you will be making less money.

    How would a politcal based site earn revenues???

    Remember in life....the guy selling fish does not scream

    "Disgusting smelly fish for sale!"

    but rather

    "Great tasting fish for sale"

    You know it smells bad but the guy selling it won't say it does.....he is going to try to changer the perception to something pleasant.

    Caveat Emporer

    Edit - Any sale of a business real world or online will typically see a 25 to 35% drop off in sales / revenues.

    Not understanding? Are you relating to the Domain Name only expiring after 1year. If thats what you mean, Dont you just renew yearly and can keep the website exactly the same?

    I think he was referring to the fact that the presidential niche will be over 1 year from now.
