Search Engines adore aged sites…

Browse through our numerous dropship case studies and compare how new and established dropship sites drive traffic. If the site is 2+ years old the owners practically spend nothing to drive visitors if they do not want to increase their traffic with PPC – they are happy with steady flow of traffic driven organically. This allows them to save a LOT of money.

Why do search engines act like that? I have their own list of factors how to rank sites and age is one of the key indicators that a website is legal and has quality products/ services/ content. But age must be supported by references from other sites/ links and other trust indicators…

It is really great if you own one or a network of aged dropship domains and sites. Sort of competitive advantage.

Today’s dropship business case owner runs a small basket dropship business for nearly seven years. It sounds amazing to me – the guy is familiar with e-commerce and dropshipping for ages.

As a kind of a reward from search engines – all his traffic is organic. I guess it takes him 2-4 hours per week to run the site. Do not you find that it is a nice profit – $1 000 for 12 hours of work per month? Though he does not mention his costs – probably it is much lower than $1 000. He is likely to pay Yahoo! monthly fee as his project hosted with their platform – I am not sure how much it is nowadays.
