Guide For New Blog

April 1, 2009

You want to start a blog. However, it can take months for a new blog to start showing a profit. Could you make money faster by buying an abandoned blog?

A blog which is been online for several years has many benefits. Even if the blog hasn’t been updated in a year or two, if it has pages which are indexed in the search engines, it has value. If it still gets traffic, it has even more value.

Let’s look at two alternatives when starting a new blog.

1. Start a New Blog from Scratch

The big benefit of starting a blog from scratch is that you can set up the blog exactly the way you want it. Every decision is up to you, and you can set it up for search engine optimization benefits right from the start. If you know your industry, you’ll set up a capable, efficient and professional blog which is primed to make money for you.

However your blog will take time to get indexed and to start generating traffic. You’ll need to build content, and build links. For most it takes at least six months before they are generating a reliable income.

But what if you could buy a blog which is already established, and which already has traffic?

2. Buy an Established, Abandoned Blog

Thousands of blogs are started every day. Most of these blogs are abandoned after the first post. Many more are abandoned after the tenth post. Unfortunately many of these blogs were never indexed, because they failed to get links.

However some old blogs remain indexed, and if you’re lucky enough to find them, you could approach the buyer and make an offer. Most of these owners have completely forgotten about their blogs. They may be surprised that somebody wants to buy the blog.

When you actually buying when you buy an established blog?

Firstly you’re buying the domain name, secondly you’re buying the fact that the blog is indexed in the search engines and has some degree of Page Rank. You’re also buying traffic. Using common online tools, you’ll be able to estimate the amount of traffic any blog gets every day. If there is traffic it may be minimal, but it’s still worth money.

Any blog is a long term investment, and you can shortcut your route to profitability when you buy an established, abandoned blog. Consider this option, when next you’re planning a new blog.
