    Default 16 websites, looking for funding (will split ads)

    I own a few .me domains, the first one I bought was mygpa.me and I solo designed and developed a GPA calculator, and now its on the first page of google for the keyword "gpa calculator" and getting good traffic. There aren't ads at the moment. I also finished myduedate.me which is a due date calculator, and I'm currently working on mypdf.me which is a pdf search engine that should be done soon. These sites are built so that you never have to touch them, its a perfect business, and traffic is slowly growing. I'm cranking out more and more sites, slowly.

    Heres the problem: I can crank these sites out pretty quickly, alone + design. But I'm a full time student, and I don't have time to hold a job, so I'm running short on server money (all sites run on $40/mo VPS). I'm looking for investors or partners who can pay for server and future SEO costs for a while until sites get bigger traffic, in exchange for equity; I'm willings to negotiate split of future ad revenue or whatever we can figure out.

    I could knock you off in 20 minutes with wordpress. You have nothing that couldn't be done without you.

    I made a mistake when I said I could knock you off in 20 minutes. I meant three minutes.

    Due Date Calculator Widget

    http://www.calculatorpro.com/gpa-calculator

    And.... as an added bonus for me, I will host them on GoDaddy for $5 a month.

    This guy isn't serious, is he? Not to mention your domains are absolutely worthless.

    I wonder if Stewie would like a site devoted to psychology degree information? I might have something for him!

    Don't do it buddy, this is one of those BS ridden idiots, if he was making ANY money off of those absolutely shitty domain names (I mean HORRIBLE) than he wouldn't be here shaking his tin cup for money, their is no money to be made here

    Edit: Lastly, there is a .com domain owned by someone else for every one of those names, half of your traffic will be going to those if you ever get any, using a .me for a website that does not have a brand around the .me name (yours is alty) is just ridiculous, he won't get anywhere with any of those

    Thanks for you concern Mike39

    He will need to prove that the domains are his and take them off godaddy auctions.

    My condition will be that he transfers mygpa.me to my godaddy account so I own the domain. If it at any time it disappears from the first page then the deal is off and I stop paying but I keep the domain.

    gpa calculator gets 368 000 exact monthly searches. It will get some nice traffic as long as it is on first page. (I could use that traffic )

    Also, there will be more questions etc before I really commit.

    ugh, don't be an idiot.

    mygpa.me is ranked 7th for me and only has 171 backlinks.

    schoolgpacalculator.com is available and could outrank these shit .me domains in a week.

    An advantage with your domains would be to turn this into an X number of calculators in one app by the category (health, education, lifestyle, and production). Do the ads there and make the money you can; this is not going to make you a million dollars in your entire life span unless you take the money and look elsewhere.

    At this stage, all on that list are worthless

    Apart from this one

    mygpa.me (gpa calculator)

    So I bought it straight up (and negociated a good deal!)

    It is clear that allot of hard work had gone into getting it well positioned on google.

    A friend of mine, much more savy at SEO than me, has made some suggestions and thinks that within a couple of weeks i should be able to jump from 7 to 3 in the search engine ranking results

    With my link I placed a few hours ago I have seen on analytics that mygpa.me has been getting people to my question and answer site.

    That is the only reason I wanted it!

    EDIT : Purhased the site entirely. Now I have something involving very low maintenance providing me with a constant feed of referral traffic. From a page rank 4 website

    Initial payment? Does that mean (LOL) that there is a residual payment? I have a page rank 1 site I would like to sell you, along with my bridge in North Dakota which I will throw in for free.

    This thread is proof to anyone watching that with a little hustle, a little moxie and a little spam, you can sell ANYTHING. Fastlaners, get building widget based sites ASAP.

    Sorry, what I meant by that is initial investment. One off payment. Now I have a page rank 4 website pointing back to my site providing me with decent traffic. One or two tweaks and I'll tripple the traffic at mygpa.me from 100 visitors per day to 300.

    So you climb to 300 visits per day, each visitor will see one ad based on your current layout. Right now you will make about $1.50/cpm for most of the remnant ad networks. So let's do some math, 300 visitors * 30 days = 9000 visitors per month each seeing one ad, for 9000 ads, cpm is based on per thousand so we divide 9000/1000 and get 9 times our 1.50, and you get $13.50 a month, and you want to split that with an investor? If you are paying $40.00/month in server fees you are getting taken, you can get an account for all those domains for $8/month at HostGator.com, at least then you would break even.

    I can't believe someone bought one of those.

    I bought the site : $300

    It is mine

    No further payments

    I own the domain and all the traffic that comes with it. I can advertise whatever I want on it. I could even sell advertising space on it (which I am not going to)

    I could make an Ebook.... How to improve your GPA in ten easy steps (not that I want to, but I have that option now)

    What is wrong with my decision to purchase a decent little site?

    BTW. I'll be hosting it on the same servers that I use for my website tell.me. So no additional hosting fees. Tell me where I'm wrong?
