I'd open another arcade... as my arcade site takes soo little time to look after and maintain it is worthwhile.

I also run many other sites in different industries so I get to do what I like doing anyway so selling my arcade just means more money.

Personally, I love arcade sites but I don't think it's my future in the long term. My goal is to build my site big enough so I can sell it for $500K or more and then use that money to buy bigger businesses or real estate that require no work from me whatsoever in order to bring in a paycheck. Arcade sites are one step away from passive income (income that requires no action from me) but they aren't quite there. If I left for 3 months my site would dive. My goal is to have an income where I'm completely out of the picture.

Just my 2 cents,

Chris

I'd start a new arcade with actual keywords in the domain, haha.

Well for starters you could run into a good website when your buying and selling.

Also gives you...
Experiance
More cash = Profit
more in your portfoilo work
more rep

But if i have a really good domain i would keep it for 2 years or 3 and see how i get on from there if it does well i keep it if it doesn't it gets sold off to make way for a other good website.

At the end of the day if you enjoy doing this then continue but if your in it for the bucks then research and expand your overall balance on the web.
