    About to buy a successful adult site ..

    I've run a few successful internet businesses and am about to buy a site that's been around for 6 months. As I'm new to the adult game I wanted to check what things I should be on the lookout for to make sure I'm not taken advantage of:

    1) This is a TGP site - I've seen screen grabs of income and also have access to webstats. It took him 3 months to put everything in place so really he only has 3 months of traffic. The price he wants is OK for the traffic and the work he has done
    2) I'm paying via Escrow so there is 3rd party to protect us
    3) The seller seems very sketchy on the legality of the content. The site has a 2257 notice but should I get a lawyer to check this out ?? Or, as this is only thumbnails of other peoples content, is it not such a big issue for me ?

    If you were selling this site to me what might you be trying to hide ?? If this was a second-hand car I'd know what to look for ....

      Thanks for your comments. Are there any lawyers particularly recommended for adult sites ?? I'm in Europe but the site would be hosted in the US ....

        You should try to investigate the traffic he gets. It's a TGP, it could all be hitbots and no clicked traffic...

          Hi ichauch,

          I've seen his earnings so the size of traffic buy itself wouldn't impress me. It's all about the $$ in the end ;)

            Have you compared the numbers on what it would cost to build new and buy traffic?

              I would be very careful with buying a TGP.
              It could all be hitbot traffic.
              You saw his earnings? Who tells you that they come from running a TGP alone? He could be submitting a lot galleries to other TGPs and making only a small amount of money through his own TGP.
