"We are not so much anti-capitalist (...) We're fortunate enough to have built a very healthy business, even though we haven't attempted to. All we have done is stop short of trying to become insanely wealthy. We have met billionaires and it sounds funny but it's not necessarily a bed of roses to have that kind of money. (...) Their life becomes about figuring out how to employ all that money either by philanthropy or other means. So we don't consider it that revolutionary to have stopped short of that." --Jim Buckmaster, CEO Craigslist


Sorry for asking, but how did you go about finding an abandoned website?


One fun place to look is Yahoo directory. http://dir.yahoo.com/

It's full of abandoned "web 1.0" sites that may still get a sizable amount of traffic, but the owners don't care about any more.

Probably worth just spending a while and sending emails to several site owners and seeing if any bite.


sitepoint.com has a marketplace. Lots of crap in there but you may find a blog or site that's relevant with decent traffic or keyword rankings in your niche. Anyone else have a link similar to sitepoint?


I don't know about him, but I'd go to DMOZ and open all the links in the relevant category.
