Example 1.3. No Site, but PR 6
I purchased the domain ttgweb.com for $40. There wasn’t much of a site on it, but
it had a PageRank of 6, so it looked like a good deal. I knocked a site together in just
a few hours, and for quite some time, I made around $500 per month selling text
links on the site. However, when it dropped to PageRank 5, so did the revenues.
I didn’t think there was much I could do with the site, and I didn’t want to sell it
when the stats were in decline, so I formed a partnership with a person I knew who
wanted to develop travel-related web sites. I let him redevelop the domain and told
him he could keep all the initial profits. After some work, he began to gain traction
for the site, and we negotiated a $3,500 payout. This gave me a return that was 87.5
times my initial purchase price (not taking into account the months of earning $500
in revenues)—all for just a few hours of work and my initial $40 investment.
