I did sell  a couple of times on Flippa, but over all it has not been a good experience. To list an item is $19 which you may think it is not much since it attracts a lot of deep pocket buyers, so you consider the insertion fee as a business expense, but in case of a real sale, there is an additional 5%.

I also sold once to a non payer. While they did refund the insertion fee, it was a hassle to request, then re list, then not sell the failed auction. They are competent, but just does not work for me.

Then you have the payout. When you sell, a complete stranger, on some remote part of the planet, is a recipient to your site, so a trust issue is created. Despite their fees, they don’t broker the deal,  unless you want to fetch another 10% to escrow.com

Now escrow, will pay only by check. Since I am on a remote part of the planet, the check could take easily 3 months to arrive, after the check the transaction, collect from buyer, issue the check, mail…. a long story.

You may demand money up front, but then buyers get wary, severely reducing demand for your site, that drives the price up.

on the end, you lose the $19, my second time now, aside the times I did sell, and paid.

I had a very good experience with Sedo. There was a real human brokering the deal, the domain was transferred to Sedo’s account and payment came from Sedo.  There is only one requirement PATIENCE. They don’t sell in 3 days like Flippa or ebay… you want the comfort of setting a price, you must pay for it.

Besides most of my sites and domain do generate income, but just a little.

On this specific sale, Casio was performing very well and then was penalized by Google. I then decided to sell. Perhaps that was a mistake too.

Sedo charges something like 30% of the sale, but

I only pay if there is a sale.

I don’t have to trust the seller.

They were very quick on answering emails and paying.

Ebay is also great specially for under $1000, and it is possible to list for FREE, 7 days maximum.

Flippa has very good features such as verified statistics and page rank verification, but overall, it has been very expensive.

Animoto is a free service created by media professionals, that have movie templates for commercials, greetings and the like. I found out about that on a SENuke tutorial, and to my surprise, so far, it has been very useful.

Sample Animoto Clip I did

Here is how I profit with Animoto:

1. Time Saving. My average labor time for edited video is 1 hour per edited minute. Depending on I want to do, an Animoto clip takes around 5 minutes.
2. Backlinks. Google loves video sharing sites backlinks. This means once the video is ready I upload it to YouTube and a couple other sites with a link back to one of my sites. It does help my page rank.
3. Advertisement. It is said that statistically, ads with a video has an average of 6 times more performance than pictures only. Since the clip is free, there is not much to miss.

Not everything is easy. Animoto allows 30 seconds clips only. Want more? please pay. They nag a lot. Almost every single screen comes with a “subscribe” proposal, very annoying. And as you may have guessed templates, although cool have limited selection.

There is a paid version. The paid version is not cheap either. I don’t mind paying but for $249, I rather keep editing my video clips.

Bottom Line: Overall, Animoto is a great service.

I am not fooling anyone. SENuke is a great, intelligent piece of software, very pleasant to use, and yes it is high quality SPAM. It has several amazing features

Automatic Account Creation. SENuke Creates accounts on high page rank sites with SPAM filtering, all with DO FOLLOW. Many of the sites I never heard of, but I know for a fact that it will increase back links, since I use to do it for my tutorial sites, manually and it severely increased traffic. Once the accounts are created  SENuke saves specific login of each account for automatic article  posting. Simply fantastic.

Automatic Article Submission. SENuke knows the nature of each and every site in their program and will submit articles after checking uniqueness, to each one of them, satisfying their requirements,  popping the captcha for the user. They have a captcha solving mechanism, but I found it faulty, so I disable it.

The Future of SENuke. I searched on Warrior Forum and currently there is no competition for SENuke but my personal belief is that eventually it will be either banned or neutralized because Google cares to have quality results and SENuke is taking advantage of a flaw in the system. Eventually this will be corrected. But so far so good.
