    I need to embark on a back-linking campaign... Any advice?

    Do not pay for links. Google doesn't factor these into their ranking considerations. You have to earn the links. Have you considered advertising with Adwords, Bing?

    Need investment to grow site

    I think you guys are right that I am giving away too much for too little. I will be offering 20% (rather than the 30% I proposed here) for £2000 when I make the pitch on AIN. This will value the site at £10k. 20% I will be okay with as it's a figure that won't hurt myself too much yet big enough...

    "Good luck with Angels. They would have some hard questions if they even bothered to respond to you." I will be prepared for those. I think I would have better chance there because its where investors are looking to put money to good use.

    I posted here in case there are potential investors lurking. This is a business forum after all.

    Need investment to grow site

    What do you mean? It wasn't a proper sales pitch. This is a forum. I was just highlighting what was being offered and then a summary of the main points in brief, not in any particular order. Also, I never sought investment before in a formal manner, so do not have experience of such. I will...

    I have. I have revalued the site altogether. I have now offered a much more realistic valuation after taking into consideration what people suggested. I thought about Flippa, a site I have actually dealt on before, but people are looking to buy entire sites rather than co-ownership.

    Angel Investment Network - is this a genuine site?

    I am thinking about creating a pitch there but not sure if the site is genuine.

    Need investment to grow site

    I am still looking for investment. My writer wants to keep the typical arrangement of being paid per article/set of articles. I have reassessed the value of the site. I am now willing to give up 30% stake for £2000 in investment. This will entitle you to 30% of the site's overall monthly income...

    I hope to come back to this forum in two years time and prove you guys wrong.

    Need investment to grow site

    I am leaving. There are too many people here with a really negative attitude. The fact of the matter is the internet today is absolutely vital, even essential, so I am like any other business since, without it, I am not going to make a much of headway in the modern world of ours (even more...

    "The web moves at a rapid pace so make sure you're concentrating on where the traffic will be 6-12 months from now rather than thinking too long term" I agree. This is one of the reasons why I have never been too enthused about the social promotion of my sites (other than to stick the share...

    Need investment to grow site

    As I said in one of the earlier posts, the site gets around 80 to 85% search, rest mostly returning (via bookmarks and links on other sites), and tiny percentage from social, so it's not entirely reliant on search. What's more, I rank for a diverse range of keywords (mix of some focused and lots...

    Need investment to grow site

    Its not worthless. Heck, I can go on Flippa now, submit a listing, and someone will pay good money for it, and going through website brokers will accrue even more. If anything, Hunt's site is even more risky because those type of sites (listings) can easily be replicated, than ones that hav...

    ^ Alright, thanks. I will explore a personal loan from a bank. It might be the ideal way to go.

    Just to give you an idea of some valuations, Hot Courses, a site founded by Jeremy Hunt, currently in the government cabinet, sold for £30 to £40 million, which is three year's revenue. "You are offering a poor track record and wanting a hefty sum for a small stake. Good luck selling the idea...
