You know Scott, I posted about this earlier today on my site. Your post has given me lots of food for thought, I think you have made many very intriguing points. I just wish I’d discovered it before I published my own article!
All the best,

Developing the online properties is new and more valuable rather than land properties. But developing such property takes time in the development. Good helpful content on how to search to find out web sites which are for sale or purchase/ lease etc.

Good question Adam, the site structure needed work so it may have retained its PR6 if I had it, I researched it’s backlinks and liked what I saw. Sites that are well linked to and old like that,I would be hard pushed to flip or sell, I am buying a 1993 LLL.com domain name this week for $9k for the long term and buying a 3000 page 1997 travel website for $12k which I have no plans to flip as it will take me months to do something with. I put a lot of value on aged sites with good aged links and would really need to be approached with deep pockets to part with a good gem. I do look to buy sites to flip and find a buyer but I like to make them pay me back first so the sale is then pure profit. I probably would have redesigned Aurora Webcam and created an income from it. I am 31 so need to think about creating a balance between current income, longer term sites and retirement.

Just out of curiosity, what would you have done with AuroraWebcam.com? Did you have an idea of how to develop it, or would you just try to flip it?

I love buying older sites, as a one man band sometimes its much easier to find & buy a site that needs work and has potential and has backlinks rather than always starting from scratch.
