WebAuctionsDaily aims to help you flip websites

The following is a paid review and is my complete and honest opinion. If you would like your own paid review on my blog please visit the advertise page.

Web Auctions Daily is a one-stop shop for all the latest website, template, domain and Facebook application auctions online. Designed with internet marketers in mind, Web Auctions Daily is a practical tool that combines the newest auctions from four of the most popular auction sites and rolls them into one nice, neat little package. The site currently displays auctions from SitePoint Marketplace, DNForum, DigitalPoint Forums and Webmaster-Talk.

Web Auctions Daily allows you to pick and choose what kind of auctions you want to browse. I am not a big fan of Facebook applications or buying and selling domains so I would only be interested in the templates and websites for sale auction feeds. For those that are interested however, they do have updated listings for Facebook and Domain names.

The site not only features newly listed auctions, it also contains separated archives dating back to auctions which were posted in the last seven days for added convenience. Web Auctions Daily is automatically updated every hour and has its own dedicated RSS feeds which allow users to subscribe and receive notices when new auctions are posted. Users can subscribe to any individual types of auctions (site, domain, template or Facebook application) depending on their personal interests. Users may also utilize the search bar to target specific auctions that you are interested in.

The greatest asset to Web Auctions Daily is its simplicity. First-time users will have no trouble navigating around as everything is laid out plainly without all the gimmicks and bells and whistles found on other sites. Each auction type is well organized and each new auction thread is accompanied by the logo of the auction site that it came from for easy distinction.

Web Auctions Daily is also a great website for entrepreneurs who have talent at buying and selling (a.k.a. flipping) websites. If you are good, you can buy a website that earns $100 per month for around $300. You run the website for up to three months and actively market it. You would earn your $300 back in those three months, along with whatever extra promotion you did.

    4. Thanks for the thorough review, Collin. I appreciate it.

    I’m still struggling with how to keep down the amount of low quality noise Digital Point generates. On the other hand, a lot of the best sites to flip are on DP because their prices are much lower than the other sites. It’s a balancing act I’m still working on.

    One feature that I think is great that you didn’t mention (because I need to do a better job of showcasing it) are the search result RSS feeds. If I do a search for a term like “golf” I can then subscribe to a feed that will update whenever a new golf site is posted.

    Thanks again.

    @Rakesh: There are a lot of mashups that made money using RSS aggregation. I think the really sketchy area is when you’re basically copying entire pieces of content and re-purposing it as your own. See: automated WordPress splogs.
