Website Acquisition

A acquisition of existing, aged websites is one of the most underutilised strategies online.

I have acquired and operate a portfolio of websites with a combined yearly traffic of in excess of 12 million. I understand the value of a website and can help you acquire to improve your business.

Why spend thousands on trying to achieve search rankings when you can acquire aged, established websites in your niche? I have over 10 years’ experience in making investments in this area and we aim to provide a return within 18 months of purchase.

Examples Of Acquisition Success

I have bought and sold in excess of 40 websites over the past 6 years. I buy safe, consistent investments and can help you do the same.

Acquired, growth, sold

Website bought for $6,000 in 2016. Turned from Adsense informational site to subscription worksheet site for teachers. Recently sold for a seven figure USD sum.

Recent Acquisition Graph:

Recent acquisition (September 2019). Implemented a strategy which included over 70 pages of new/revised content. Substantial organic traffic growth since. Will return overall spend in 18 months.

Adding content to aged websites:

Analytics snapshot for one of my educational sites. Implemented a content strategy which grew from 0-10,000 visits a day within a year. Aged websites with existing traffic have a trust signal within Google. By acquiring a website with history you can rank quicker, drive more traffic and grow faster.

How I can assist?

I know the web & I am continuously up to date with Google’s ever-changing ranking factors. I can help you make smart investments through my knowledge of the industry. Acquisitions are largely safe bets if bought at the right price. The domain names have been registered several years; websites will have a large number of natural links & key rankings will already be established. Think of it as investing in a house in a good area. At the right price the value is only ever going to go up.

I can assist in a few ways. Have you identified a website which you may be interested in and just need a second opinion? I can put together an analysis report and grade the acquisition, so you have some reassurance when making a purchase.

Or are you an investor?

You might be an investor who is looking to diversify your income streams and move into new industries. I can help you identify website purchase opportunities and help you through the entire process.

Here is a snapshot of how I can do this

1: Analysis of your industry/niche.
2: Collation of potential websites for investment
3: Outreach to website owners.
4: Negotiation
5: Acquisition

Once you have acquired the website, I can help with content strategies, sourcing writers, website migrations and any other way to improve the website. Just by investing in new content and achieving traffic growth you can cut your payback period down significantly.

Property rental yield is typically around 8% every year. I can make you a return in between 12-18 months on a website purchase
