Interesting Notes:
- Motion Invest has been focusing on listing “starter” sites priced around the $1K-$3K price range. These are sites with minimal (or no) traffic and earnings. You are buying them for content value and age mostly.

Interesting Notes:
- Empire Flippers inventory holds no content sites that have been sitting on the market for more than a 1 month
- Many of the Investor Club listings that are “aged” have taken a significant hit from the recent Google Core update. I will not be mentioning those sites.
📊 Analysis – Valuations For Tier-2 Search Traffic Sites
Powered by the real-time data from DealFeed and Facebook Group
Would you pay market multiples for a website receiving more than 90% of traffic from Tier 2 search engines (i.e., Bing, Yahoo)?
This is a question I asked in The Website Flip private Facebook group, and the answers were not what I was expecting.
33% of surveyors said, “not worth it”. They believe Google traffic converts the best. Some also mentioned Bing usually de-indexes an entire site without warning, whereas, Google does give warnings such as “manual penalties”.
A larger portion (47%) said: “yes, but at reduced multiples”.
I asked this question up because I have a site that receives more than 90% traffic from Bing and Yahoo. The user demographic of Bing users is usually older (above 50+ years old), which works great for my niche.
However, the market sentiment is that there are minimal buyers interested, or if they are, they would pay less than the 35X – 45X multiple ranges.
In that case, it’s in my best interest to keep the site for cash flow.
