Selling High Traffic PR4-6 Blog Earning $170+ Monthly. With room for huge improvement!

Sadly I have to put my new blog up for sale, I just don't have the time to give it the attention it deserves and I would hate to see it go waste so I am going to put it up for sale and hopefully someone else can keep expanding it.

Domain Name
www.swick.co.uk - The domain name is a mixture of sweet/sick and we have tried to keep our content inline with that by showcasing sweet/sick stuff.

Date Blog Established
Registered on: 29-May-2009 and then launched on 1-June-2009

Google Page Rank
The homepage has a PR of 4 and the blog posts vary from 4-6.

Technorati Ranking
It is currently ranked 72,645 and authority of 46, but I only submitted it two weeks and this is climbing everyday.

Alexa Ranking
It's current 3 month alexa ranking is 78034, but it has only been around 2 months so the ranking is actually quite good.

Google Top Keyword Search Results
Funny Graffiti, Iconic Photographs and a lot of other phrases bring in traffic.

Revenue from Ads
It earns on average £2.57 (roughly $4.40) per day from adsense (Although I only put adsense only onto the website on the 15th july, just as I stopped posting on the website so I have no idea what the earnings would be like when the traffic is high.) (Adsense screenshot - http://twitpic.com/cyuri)
It currently earns $41.25 through buysellads, but this can easily be increased to $101.25 if you can find two advertisers. (BuySellAds screenshot - http://twitpic.com/cyuq1)

A combination of the above puts its monthly earnings at $170+ but this can easily be increased by selling text links with the high PR, posting articles more regularly or finding two advertisers for the buysellads spots.

Web Traffic Stats (Correct as of August 5th)
June - 355,245 Visits 449,791 Pageviews (Screenshot - http://twitpic.com/cyuw8)
July - 132,240 Visits 220,446 Pageviews (Screenshot - http://twitpic.com/cyuur)
August so far - 2,330 Visits 5,157 Pageviews (Screenshot - http://twitpic.com/cyupi)

As you can see the traffic was huge when we posting a lot and then it decreased as we stopped posted, but now in August the majority of the traffic is organic and I expect this to grow as the site ages and ranks better in google.

when ending
articles unique?
what is your site niche?

 

Not sure on ending time.
All articles are written/collected by me, so yes all are unique but you may see the same photos used on other sites but thats hard to avoid these days.
The site doesn't have a set niche but it attracts a lot of users just wante dto waste a few minutes looking at stuff, or generally just googling stuff they want to know about.

Example is this article gets regular hits from people searching about the pictures metioned in the article - http://swick.co.uk/index.php/2009/06/12-of-the-most-iconic-photographs-ever-taken/

 

What pages are PR6?

 

300$ .........

 

i cant open the website, maybe server down?

 

Its up for me although it is loading quite slow, the hosting company are currently performing maintenance on the site. Should be back online properly within an hour they say.

 

Off the top of my head I know this one is (http://swick.co.uk/index.php/2009/06/12-of-the-most-iconic-photographs-ever-taken/), but the rest are PR4/5 with the homepage being 4.

 

Just had a bid of $600 via IM.

 

Had a bid of $650 via PM
Then another of $1200 via PM

 

why don't people bid here to make the auction genuine ??

 

Not sure, they asked a few questions via PM and made there bid there.

 

BIN is lowered to $2250.

 

does it needs regular updates? from where we can get articles

 

That all depends on what you want to do with the site. You could post daily and generate huge traffic or you could post a few articles a month which target certain keywords.

As for the articles thats up to you, you could can find inspiration for articles all over the internet.

Also lowering of the BIN, it is now $2000!

 

Hi, what is the highest current bid now and your reserve? also, can the revenue from buysellads be transfered?

 

Hi the current highest bid is $1500 and yes the BuySellAds revenue can be easily transferred, I would just e-mail support and then would set up an account to an e-mail of your choice.

I don't have a set reserve but am open to offers.

 

$1600 from me..
