What if you put up a listing with a high BIN? As long as you’re willing to sell at some price, I don’t see how it would be unethical. You usually have to pay for the listing, after all.

A lot of people use this method to jump-start traffic to their site with no intention of selling it at that time, but once the traffic has started flowing in, they will end up flipping the site by now featuring the traffic stats from that particular month.

I’m surprised to see this, the traffic would be worthless – there are far better unethical ways to get traffic – and this strikes me as not being worth it. Not only is it not targetted, the people who visit are more likely to skim your content but not actually comment or interact or convert to sales/clicks/whatever. Essentially they’re lookyloos – people who just end up using your bandwidth.

I have found it interesting that a blogger would want to sell a profitable blog at all. It is a personal blog that they have spent time creating and then they would sell it to a total stranger? It’s not like a blog is piece of real estate or a stock. Or is it? Also, don’t you think the fans or subscribers of the blog are left hanging?

I do not see any good from this method, your rep goes down that all.

I have a hard time believing some of the numbers posted and I have noticed the “for sale” tactic to increase traffic. This was a very interesting most….I have never seen this listed as way to increase traffic.

Well I must say that I’ve never heard of anything like this before, Very interesting tactic but like you said, is deceiving and could damage credibility. Overall it’s NOT worth it.

I think a negative perception could come about because your regular readers may think you are going to stop blogging so they may take you out of their RSS reader, so you actually lose some targeted traffic.

@Sam Stevens, if you read the post you can see that I am actually discouraging it. But I think it is important to talk about the stuff, even the bad stuff, so that everyone becomes aware.

When you posted the aquired blog I was quite shocked because to read DBT had become my daily routine and I thought here goes the big fish eats small one thing. So here we are good as always.

I’m disappointed that dailyblogtips.com would bother publishing a how-to about an unethical practice.

I am loving this series. i stumbled t the fourth part and now have retraced myself and gone through the other three parts as well. Can you give a one line description on what the future installment of the series would be about. Just so that we know what to expect…

I see the use in discussing Black Hat methods in this series, but I don’t see the use in discussing Black Hat methodes you say don’t really work.
Why focus attention on this?
