Advice needed

Hi,

I need some advices.

I have my own small business in SEO and web design and at the same time I also study. My studies will end in christmas and after that I will only live on the internet.

I want to plan where to invest money and what gives me most ROI in the future.

I have about 2K $ to spend from now until christmas and I want to get it back in ROI during the summer and then go on plus.

This is my resources:

- I know SEO quite well and can offer services to sites.
- I own 15 web sites, two is PR 5 and 5 is PR 4.

This is my ideas:

- Buy sites from auctions, improve them and give them high PR and resell (or keep).
- Buy the last db copy from yfs1, hire a programmer and make adsense revenue from it.
- Make some directories with high PR and a paid model.
- Domain names??

I would be very happy getting your advices, thanks!

 

Others may tell you otherwise but I would suggest against any business model that revolves around or heavily relies on pagerank.

 

Hmm, worth thinking about. I think the best is to have several revenue channels.

Do you think adsense is better?
Or maybe writing and selling e-books?

 

Personally I go for product sales, advertising revenue - Adsense or other - and lead generation. It's a nice mix and if one avenue gets killed off I still have 2/3 of my business model in place.

Basing a business on PR is like basing a business on when it will rain - you have no control of how much, how often or when it will happen....if at all.

 

Never buy a website solely on PR rank. You most likely don't know how it got that PR and perhaps it will change.

Look for things like content, potential and so forth.

 

we check alot of sites/domains at alexa .com to see where its ranked there before we do anything, pr is good but not stable in my mind

 

may be marketing some affiliate product from your website can make you some money.
