| Internet Business Guide Review |
Either this Internet Business Opportunity is a relist or a resale. Either way it is south, far south, of its peak. Originally  listed in 2008 at $595,000 Asking Price. That was when historical revenue was $195,000; and cash flow was $156,000.This Internet business started in 2001, was sold in 2006, and then offered a year later. From research I had done for a Buyer Advantage Service client regarding this Internet Business Opportunity. It had changed to a new business model under owner #2. The first owner’s model was “subscription”. The 2nd owner moved to a “discount offer” model which did not succeed as well as expected.Any client that I work with, will hear me ad nausem say, “Never change anything about the Internet business or website, unless you have a Plan B! Is this Internet Business Opportunitystill worthy of consideration? Simply yes!First the category Vic Ratio is stable compared to early 2008. You will actually see an improvement in the ability to compete.
04/2008 “salon spa” – Average Monthly Searches: 50,995; Vicissitude Ratio: 16.36
11/2010 “salon spa” – Average Monthly Searches: 557,576; Vicissitude Ratio: 3.16
The category search would most likely be on “Salon and Spa”, but search engines ignore words such as “and” as what is called a “stop word”. Meaning it adds no relevant value in the search. Words such as “my”, “first” and “how to” are also considered stop words and eliminated from search results. A further note on this is the Google algorithm change of mid 2008 when the domain name of an online business that included the search term increased substantially in search rank weighting. Meaning that domains like “mysalonandspa.com” and salonandspa.com” have nearly the same weight value. Simply stated, if you have the domain name with the fewest number of letters to describe the verb or noun of the search you most often will be first page of search results. Often, you will be #1.
The second yes why you should consider this Internet Business Opportunity is it appears it has yet to return to a subscription model; yet you should still be able to model the future based on the past to produce predictable results. Provided you don’t continue to change the model away from subscription and without thinking through the consequences. |
