Ask HN: Should I Sell My Company or Wait?
You know which one is more corrupt now? Web Hosting Comparison. Go to google/bing you will get 99% of self promotion listing or affiliate listing websites.
Then, I decided to write an algorithm that compares prices & hosting specifications (cpu,space, memory, bandwidth, location). I even wrote a datacenter feature comparison too (IRC allowed hosting, adult allowed hosting, ipv6 available hosting & etc)
It is a 85% accurate algorithm (I know the indexer needs a little cleanup).
Everything went great, more than 600 web hosting companies registered an account with me (Including Site5 & many recognized companies). My algorithm/engine compares more than 6500 web hosting plans (dedicated, vps, shared, datacenters & a simple cloud list.
The problem is.,
I am on 5th page (Bing) I am in Google's sandbox for 6-8 months.
I am getting 80-100 visitors per day thats too low to be low.
I do have very clear plans to monetize from this service. But., My traffic generation plans are organic and that takes time to reflect my google analytics.
Should I keep doing organic way to increase the 100 to 200 visitors and go on or should I simply sell it?
Some hosting company would surly buy it and spend few thousands in adwords to get traffic and self promote themselves.
But., I want this to be really a decision making engine for web hosting buyers.
Suggest me something.
