    Keep it for a few months, once you have some steady traffic/income then sell it. I highly doubt anyone wants to buy a brand new site.

    Post the address so we can determine if it's worth anything to sell.. the lack of info doesn't help

    Why sell it if you just started it last week? You should give it some time.

    id keep it as its new, you could sell it then it shoot up from SE's. Also i dont know about your adsense account but with only $7 you cant withdraw so you havent even made that yet, youll have to get the $100 to have actually earnt anything from your site.

    Pessimism is counter-productive.

    It constantly amazes me when people post stuff about a site or something they are selling without actually telling you what it is

    Now i think about it, it may be worth selling. If it is all autorun then depending how much it cost to set up you may be better selling it, then using the money to set up a couple of them and continue like that. So for example if they cost $5 and it sold for $10 you could then make 2, which are then worth $10 each. Make a $10 profit. If they are easy to set up it may be worthwhile, make sure you count the time it takes to sell each one too though not just set up time.

    No one wants to buy a new site unless it is something that can generate affiliates of its own.

    Just to clear everyone mind, I am talking about those clickbank sites.

    Seems to me that the site itself needs some tweaking. Perhaps you aren't getting the clicks you want because the site is ugly (sorry). Give this site a visual makeover and see what happens. Adding images to each post would be a vast improvement for a start, but naturally that's contrary to an auto-run site. Bottom line, you can't make money without investing something--time, energy, etc.

    yeh i might do that.

    but as some other members suggest, im gonna keep the site so maybe the price goes up abit then do what you said.

    thanks for your suggestion, i really appreciate your comments because this is my first site.

    Add adsense or cpa offer to the homepage.

    Once you have $3-4 dollars per day, you can sell the site for up to 7 times monthly revenue.

    Leave it until you have 3 months proof of revenue - buyers here at dp will snap it up.

    $80 per month revenue you'll get $500 easy.

    This is experience - I'm not just talking here.
