Flippa just posted about an update that now offers the option of Due Diligence within their platform, definitely worth a look for those buying websites.

...This month, Flippa made an addition that gives you direct access to professional due diligence on any of their website listings, directly from the listing’s due diligence page.
You can see what we do in our sample report, but here are a few ways that we’ve saved buyers money through smarter due diligence:
- Uncovering a scam where a site’s main revenue source was an affiliate product owned by another company belonging to the same seller. Commission rates had been set artificially high to inflate revenues and make the company seem like it was far more profitable than it actually was.
- Spotting an obscure, but valid trademark violation in the domain of a dropship ecommerce retailer.
- Discovering a partially hidden and very low quality backlink profile, and several warning signals of a pending search penalty for a site where 67% of its traffic came from Google. The client didn’t buy the site, and it was relisted two weeks later having lost just over half its traffic in the most recent Penguin Update this May.
