Buying And Selling Websites

Ever thought about buying or selling a website? Do you like shopping for deals? Check out Flippa. This site is a marketplace for websites. You can sometimes find good deals (like a site that pays for itself in 3 months), but you must be willing to dig a little bit. And for those of you that have a site that you are neglecting, how about selling it and getting a little cash for yourself?

Fast Free Website SEO Grader

I came across a useful free tool that evaluates a website and gives a grade based on SEO optimization, social buzz, Google indexing and more. They do have a more comprehensive set of paid tools (I have not evaluated them and so have no recommendation), but the free tool is pretty interesting stuff. Check it out.

When Will The Site Be Back Up?

We thought that DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com was a cool site until we ran into today's recommendation. This tool notifies you via email, text message, or twitter when a site that is down comes back up. This would be particularly useful for monitoring product launches, since they have the annoying habit of going down at launch time. Give DingItsUp a try!

Market Samurai is a great piece of software for those interested in identifying and capitalizing on internet based niche markets.

Blog Commenting Software

I just found Fast Blog Finder. It is a GREAT piece of software for finding blogs relevant to your niche to leave comments. All can be done from within the software window. In addition to finding blogs, it also returns site rank, page rank, date of last post, and follow status among other things. You can sort by any (or multiple) of these fields.

I have tried other software (Comment Hut and Comment Kahuna) and this one leaves them in the dust. If you are looking for inexpensive ways to get links to your site, check out Fast Blog Finder today.
