Thank you, I get it but I would love to hear from the new owner, if they would ever collect the $678 they spent on purchasing it. I honestly do.

I agree with that.

I get the back links answer often as well when I ask but I fail to see how they are monetized to ever get the TBR fee back.
 
Google's new AI Overview in the US is getting a lot of heat lately. It's stealing content from other sites, not giving the site as the source to keep the users on Google. Plus, the results are not always accurate. Established websites are already struggling to rank. How will new sites on these domains ever show up in search results?


Example from Twitter posts: Someone searched how to pass kidney stone and Ai told them to drink urine.

FWIW, I pay $380 a month for 20 backlinks with similar backlink profiles from a PBN. Profitable to the right person (as seen time and time again on TBR).
 
I still don't see how this business works, as I picked up a domain yesterday that has similar stats (slightly lower DR but higher backlink and site numbers) and no one was fighting over it on the TBR.

Personally, I think someone who owns a competing bar in Montreal might have bought this domain - at least that makes sense.

I' would love to see a comparison spending the $380 on Google ads to see what the return is.
 
Actually, I just checked and patricepatissier.ca now forwards for Dank.ca, a hophead cannabis seller who probably wants all the alcoholics to switch over to weed. :LOL:

Organic search has the highest conversion rate at the lowest cost per acquisition, but it's a long-term investment. I used to tell clients every day that while PPC will get you results quickly, you must accept that your traffic drops to virtually zero the moment you stop spending. PPC is praised because everyone wants results now. Dad used to say, 'nothing good comes quick.'

FWIW (again), I only started my current business last year. I've gradually decreased SEO spend, and my websites continue to bring in quality traffic consistently. Eventually, I'll only have to spend $100-200 per month to maintain ranks.

The backlinks are likely garbage. Quality over quantity.

I think by who bought it, you can see why they did it.

Just a company in a similar market trying to buy some traffic.

Which domain are you referring to? patricepatissier.ca? Archives show it was owned by a cafe in Montreal. What does that have to do with a dispensary in Calgary?

Anyway, I’m not going to argue the existence of PBNs. We’ll keep scratching our heads wondering why these obscure domains that just happen to have solid backlink profiles get bid up so high.

From the image on the front page, the glasses and bottles sure looked like they also sold alcohol and took reservations for meals - or maybe that was a day/night business switch into a wine bar scenario? I've seen that a lot in Quebec.

I was trying to post a picture, but even the tiniest, teeniest screen grab is "too large" for here. If you go to archive, it's a row of bar-like seats with bottles of some type + glasses (snifters?) that almost certainly are meant to contain alcohol.

And yes, they made pastries, but it sure looks like there was some nightlife there in the form of a restaurant or bar.

Marketing team must’ve been high.

And, no, you dispensaries cannot ship (legal) cannabis to outside provinces/territories.
