where are the sites f/s>>>??

Yep I lose more and more motivation to look here daily.

 

They are rare...you have to comb the domain forums, and even find sites thru searches and make offers on sites that are not currently listed..

 

I agree with dreamedia that the multiple will probably increase. But, that's for the quality sites. For most of the other junk on here I can see only diminishing multiples. Why pay 24x for a brand new site with puke content (vomited up/copied/free articles) when you could rustle that up yourself in a few hours?

 

Just the nature of the beast. Anyone can throw a site up there, hell anyone can throw a site up and get some traffic. The trick is finding something original that either meets some kind of need that isn't being addressed, or a brand new way of doing something. I don't believe it's all marketing. There has to be a hook. Just like a great song will have a great hook, so does a website. A well marketed site may get some traffic for a while, but will have trouble sustaining the traffic unless it is really bringing something great to the table.

 

Everyone with decent sites are waiting to cash in on the nov-dec shopping season and then sell with inflated prices (from the shopping seasons earnings).

Just a theory
