I've been keeping an eye on a website (tattoo site of all things!) and the seller just changed the end date so I can participate because I'll be on vacation when it ends. I thought that was a nice gesture. He also added a buy it now price which he's been sticking to since the beginning. One thing that's disturbing is that the domain (under godaddy.com, one can check who owns a website by checking whois.net) still had the previous owner info and everyone on the question board for this listing are thinking twice about whether it's legit. Anyways, the seller did get his name changed, but left all the other info un-updated. I mentioned to the seller that the old email was still there and he just say leaving that to be updating for the new owner. I've been also trying to get ready only report for google analytics to his site and have been unsuccessful. Apparently, you need a google email account (i.e. gmail), so I had to set one up right away and asked the seller to add my again to gain access to the analytics. So far, I had to set up the following accounts:
-google account (adsense & analytics)
-google email
-escrow.com (to protect myself)
-aweber.com (for marketing)
-godaddy.com (for domain and hosting)
That's the basics and I'm sure there are more. Well, the auction ends in a few days and I'm kind of excited to think that I can own a website! I do have reservation about whether the traffic and revenues are as claimed by the seller. So, I'm a little worried and excited because I just don't want to get ripped off on my first website. Anyways, wish me luck and until next week.
