Did AI Kill Website Buying?
Can you still buy undervalued websites in 2026, renovate them, and keep them for cash flow? The answer is yes, but the rules have changed.
Can you still buy undervalued websites in 2026, renovate them, and keep them for cash flow?
In this interview, Steph asks Matt Raad the questions many beginners are asking right now.
AI has changed the website-buying market. Google changes have made some sites riskier. And the old idea of buying cheap content sites is not as simple as it used to be.
But that does not mean the opportunity is gone.
Matt explains what he would avoid now, what types of websites he would look for instead, and why the best opportunities in 2026 may be the overlooked “diamonds in the rough” most buyers miss.
If you’re thinking about buying your first website, this interview will help you understand what has changed, what to look for, and how to approach the market more carefully in 2026.
Today, You Will Learn:
- How websites actually make money.
- Why generic AI content sites are risky.
- What makes a website more valuable in 2026.
- Why community, brand, history, traffic, and unrealised assets matter.
- How AI can help renovate the right websites faster.
- Why buying websites is still a skill worth learning.
