Site Flip Contestants
Posted on August 27th, 2008 by Jason under Site NewsFirst of all, two things…
I’d like to thank a commenter on here, Faint, who runs a site teaching you how to make beer… he installed Brian’s Threaded Comments and the comment area looks a lot slicker. In the past, I couldn’t reply to each individual comment because comments came in way too fast and typing out blocks of text at a time was a pain, however now I can reply to each question you guys make here individually - how cool is that!
Secondly, I’d like to thank anyone that has ever recommended this blog to someone else - I’d do this individually, but there are way too many of you. I really appreciate it, and although I make zilch relatively off this blog I will try to run it as long as people say they’re benefiting from the information on the whole. At the moment, the subscriber count is 999 so make sure you tell your friends to subscribe so that we can break the 1,000 mark
Anyways, I’ve gotten quite a few emails, so here’s the people that are in for the site flip contest so far…
No URLs as that would take some time, just names. If you have the same name as someone else, it should be mentioned twice, if not just ask in the comments.
- Ryan McLean
- harish krishna
- Alawa Dele
- Nick D
- Akseli
- Girish
- Static
- Del Suazo
- Jeremy Waller
- Andy LS
- Sjoerd
- Trent
- Oussama
- Rhys
- Ryan (Pink Purple)
- Sash Patel
- Alex T
- Anand
- Anna (Poetica)
- Suraj
- William B
- Arshad
- Uday
- Taylor
- Indo Contest
- George Pratsos
- B Carter
- Rich Hill
- Denny Ardian
- Ryan Lineker
- Alok (harmonyinfotech)
- GMG
- Tarif
- Nathaniel
- Jason (CRO)
- Randel
- Charan
- Ganesh
- Silla
- Swastik
- Ashok B
- Desmond Ong
- Kim D
Entry into the contest is now closed.
So that’s 43 people. I apologise for not replying to each of you individually, but if your name’s here I’ve gotten you and noted you down, so don’t worry. I’m thinking maximum three people more depending on interest, don’t want to get too many as that will mean more time managing rather than giving you guys knowledge that will help you make money. By the current way things are going, should be done by the 1st of September and then I can write everything up.
Some people had some questions, so just wanted you guys to have a chance to ask before this goes ahead. I’m only really giving you this chance because I want to play with the threaded comments, but ask and I’ll answer
This is an INDIVIDUAL project, and you will be working on your website by YOURSELF.
However, there will be groups. Think the olympics, 100m sprints - similar. There will be heats, which in this case will consist of groups of seven people.
You only ‘compete’ against the other six in your group, and at the end of the challenge the person in your group with the highest sale amount wins the group. Each group will have one winner, and (hopefully) each winner will get a prize. I was thinking of a blog contributed to by all, however as it’s the first one I’d rather you guys not be distracted… some have suggested sponsored prizes related to website flipping though, so that could be looked into.
Anyways, feel free to put out questions and I’ll answer them! There’s also a few days yet to enter, and I’ll update this list with anyone that does. Cheers guys ![]()

Hey mate - please send an email to admin @ theuniversitykid . com or JPereira.Owns @ gmail . com with a 50 - 100 word description of yourself and any sites you’d like featured. Cheers!
What niche will the group’s website be about? Or can we decide it ourselves?
I hope that the contest starts soon.

Your blog flip can be any niche you want, including adult. Bear in mind that Sitepoint do not allow hardcore adult sites to be listed though
I meant the blog the group will update.
But just read the post again. If I understood right, that is not going to be the prize afterall?
BlackhatWay’s last blog post..Win $50.00 Or Other Wonderful Prizes By Only Commenting!
That’s what I’m thinking, we will see though. I don’t think there will be a group blog, hopefully can get some sick prizes sponsored.
The ultimate prize will of course be a successful site sale for a few hundred, maybe more
Hmm.. I need a gravatar.

Hey Jason,
Thanks for the list. Just a suggestion, the group blog might be a bit of a distraction as if someone starts lagging behind on his posting schedule and he gives up on the contest, he’ll hardly have any incentive to post on the group blog as he knows he will not get it in any case.
I admit, this may not happen, but is pretty likely.
So, what if we eliminate the group blog all together and add something like 10 % of the sale prices of each of the other members’ blogs.
Assuming, there are 7 people in a group, and each blog sells for $400 (MINIMUM), that’s a cool $240 apart from the sale price of the winner’s blog. Of course, many blogs are likely to sell for much more than $400.
Just saying whatever’s on my mind, it might have a few loopholes
Thanks for clearing up any confusion Jason. Enjoy the nice threaded comments now. ;P

Hey Nathaniel,
I didn’t get an email from you but that’s what others have said (that they’ve sent me one and I’ve not gotten it). My email is screwy.
Just email it to JPereira.Owns@gmail.com and I’ll get it sorted. Cheers!
Can we use a domain name that we own now but have never set up yet? Or can we purchase a domain now to use in the contest?

With an old domain, there is the ‘old site’ advantage. But if it never has been developed, then , I guess old Domains could be used.
The age of the site can be judged from when the first post was made…..
udkl’s last blog post..English Crossword Maker : EclipseCrossword
Yeah, it will be new domains so that everyone starts out on an even footing
OK, I’ve got a domain name selected but have not purchased it yet. Hope it will still be available. when will the contest start?

Jay
Jay’s last blog post..5 Reasons Why I Won’t Sponsor Your Contest
Yeah, people have to email to confirm. If they can’t be arsed to email, it’s likely they won’t put much energy into the site flip… and I can’t be bothered dealing with people like that.
So.. Jason, each group consist of 7 people. And we only compete with 6 other people in our group. so it will be a ‘cage match rumble’ ??, *roar..*
Denny’s last blog post..Flipping Sites - Kinda Fun
Hehe similar to that mate.
It’d be cool if you had some sort of tournament style. So, the winner of each group then moven on to face the other winners in a 1 week flip showdown - winner takes all!
