That should keep you going through the holidays:) And, as always, thanks for being here. How to Buy Into European Ecommerce Ecommerce across Europe is currently a $600BN industry, but it's still an overlooked and underdeveloped market. In comparison to the 10% increase between 2015 and 2019, the current forecast places growth at 10% per year going forward. Why?:
You need to understand that Amazon isn't the biggest player in Europe. They don't rule the roost here. Intelligent Templates Together With MicroAcquire ✈️ Top destination in 2022: MicroAcquire

Our Thoughts:
Although this site isn’t extraordinary for a content site, it is better than most. With quality content and consistent rankings across a number of topics, it seems fairly stable for this type of site.
With enough content topics to produce for years and plenty of work to be done to update the existing 400+ articles, this business will be most attractive for those looking to take a long approach.
Short-term flippers should look elsewhere as there aren’t any quick wins for an easy flip. Rather, it’ll require some blood, sweat, and tears to get the most out of this large site, but a dedicated worker can certainly get there.
It’s a solid choice for people relatively new to website investing given the straight forward path for growth and relatively easy business model.
Our Valuation:
36x L12M Profit = $205,740
The current valuation is far too high given the business model and trajectory.
What we like:
- 743 keywords ranking 11-20 with 200+ search volume, many with high buying intent
- 400+ articles to optimize, prune, etc
- Solid EAT - solid about pages and design
- Strong link profile
- Good page traffic diversity - the top page gets 13% of the site’s traffic, with #2 getting 4% according to Ahrefs
- Increasing revenue and traffic trajectory
What we don’t like:
- 301 redirect from geekwithlaptop.com (but very well done 301 redirect)
- Tech niche can require a lot of content updates
Our Verdict: ★★★★☆ 4.25/5.0 Solid site with a good foundation and lots of topics to target for the long term.

✅ Snippets to Send You on Your Way
🔷 SEO news roundup: Matt Diggity posted his December SEO roundup. See guides that show off the SEOs latest tricks, case studies, and important statements about product reviews, mobile indexing, and crawl bugs.
🔷 2021 crypto heists: More than 20 different times in the last 12 months, at least $10 million was stolen from a cryptocurrency exchange or project. In at least six cases, hackers stole more than $100 million. And, there's little anyone can do about it.
🔷 10K to launch a crypto startup: Z Fellows offers a one-week accelerator program to aspiring founders that comes with a $10,000 check in optional equity, at a $1 billion cap. (Just when you were planning a vacation).
🔷 Digital detox: If apps abuse your privacy, cost too much money, or make you unhappy, give ‘em the boot. These are the 20+ smartphone apps you should delete before 2022. (We dare you to do it).
🔷 Fighting tech with…tech: We all know that the best way to overcome a tech addiction is with the right technology. From Dave Pell: A Guide to Restoring Your Sanity in the Age of Technology with More Technology.
🔷 MicroStrategy's crypto lending strategy: MicroStrategy Inc. - the enterprise software company that made waves by issuing debt to buy Bitcoin - is looking for ways to generate yield on its massive digital-coin holdings. The company now owns more than 122,000 tokens, worth in excess of $5.6 billion at current prices. (definitely one of the 10,000 hodlers below).
🔷 2021 in European tech: A quick look back at European money flows, fintech, aggregators, big fines for big tech, and more.
🔷 Bitcoin's 1%: Less than 1% of the biggest Bitcoin (BTC) hodlers allegedly control more than a quarter of all BTC in circulation. 10,000 Bitcoin investors, or 0.01% of all BTC holders, own 5 million BTC, or 27% of all 18.9 million coins in circulation.
🔷 Simple plans: If you want people to invest in your idea, then the best advice is "first write a business plan, and keep it simple." Here are 10 tips for crafting an investment grade plan. (You're not writing a novel people).
🔷 NFTs explained: Why people are spending millions on JPEGs. Regardless of how weird it seems, people are spending that money for a reason. (yeah - because they can).
🔷 Automated crypto investing for all: Trading crypto isn’t a great experience for the average person, and most people have no idea what to invest in. Stacked just raised over $35 million to automate the management of crypto assets via pre-built portfolios and strategies.
