How Much Are Your Websites Worth?
I have a lot of friends who are attempting to make money via the internet. Most of these people have invested in a number of websites which they are hoping will earn them a decent monthly income via adsense. They have spent a lot of time in attempting to drive traffic to these sites by way of writing articles and by other forms of web promotion. What I am finding however is that they are hoping for instant results and have a lack of patience. This time of the year (the summer), there are a lot less people who are willing to spend long periods on their computers due to the heat and the fact that a lot of them are going away on their summer vacation. The amount of money that the majority of webmasters earn is likely to be lower at these times for obvious reasons.
A number of my close contacts do not have the same attitude as to what I do and are instead looking for instant rewards. Another aspect which has greatly annoyed and frustrated a lot of my friends is the fact that they are seeing no movement in the page rank of their sites. This again is a lack of patience and is very short sighted. The backward links that they have obtained should have already resulted in an increase in traffic to their sites and they should not be so obsessed with this page rank issue. Whether your site is about offering pet insurance or cost reduction; promoting your site in a patient manner is essential.
I also see each of my own websites as an investment. In reality I would ideally prefer if these sites were making their millions today but I am more than happy to play “the long game”. If I continue to work hard the traffic will steadily increase and within a few years the search engine position of each of my sites should be a lot higher than they are today.
The portfolio of websites that I own, also have a market value. If I wanted to, I could sell them and surely the more work I put in to promote each site, the higher this market value should be.
