Great tips. I even went so far as to do a background check on the Owner’s name, found his current address and the site luckily had a feature that gave the left and right neighbor’s names so I went ahead and snail-mailed both of them with a $50.00 check to cash if they’d contact me and the promise of a $300.00 check if they’d successfully help me get in contact with the owner.

Alas I ended up finding the web designer and he sold me the site since the owner ripped him off years back!

You sure put in a lot of effort to get that site. Sorry that it didn’t pay off for you.

That is a good idea to reset your top commentators every month. It sounds like a great way to keep your readers from being to discouraged to try. Do you have a bit of code that you used to do it?

Google and WHOIS is probably the most-sought after methods.

And I wish you were right Ryan but alas on this one I worked hard for zero pay-off so it was a good example as you say, still when you do get one, a real old gem, it is such a great feeling and makes all the time invested worthwhile.

Scott, I was fully expecting the story to go in the direction of you buying the site for $500 and now it’s generating revenue through the roof! This is actually an even more useful article because it shows just how hard you are willing to work at this game even though there is no guarantee of things going your way. Good stuff.
