Have you heard about Flippa? Some bloggers that are not really into web flipping maybe never heard about it. Flippa is actually a source of income for webmaster who like to build websites just for sake to sell them for quick money. Yes, there are actually exist some webmasters that do that.

So I just tried wandering around Flippa.com so that I can learn more about Flippa. To enter Flippa marketplace is not free but I am sure that you would be expose to a lot of opportunity because there are a lot of potential buyers that like to visit Flippa.

I feel quite shock when I look some website that doesn’t really have enough value is bid for quite a good price at Flippa. How come there is someone that are willing to bid USD 260 for a PR0 and just 300 unique views per month website? Not only, the content is not original since it use auto-blog. But that’s what make Flippa the best web flipping platform.

In Flippa, website layout is one of the major factors in determining how much your website worth. That’s why some website with low traffics and low PR managed to be sold at quite a high price.

As what I see, most websites that receive good number of bids at Flippa are static websites. If you decided to stop blogging and sell your site, it’s good thing if you tweak your front page first so that it looks like a static website. However that’s just the rough view. Every buyers have their own thinking. Just depends on your luck.

Currently there is a webhosting review site that still in bidding. Even with just 10 webhosting as comparison and quite a simple layout, the website still managed to get hundred dollars. Even Hostipedia is better than that.

If you are a blogger wannabe or you want to add another blog, visiting and researching the websites at Flippa is good thing to do. Since you would know how much a website being bid or sold, of course you can easily detect how valuable is the niche. If you choose a good niche, I am sure you would have easy time selling your blog at Flippa once you feel that you want to stop the blog.
