    =====

    Hi Everybody,

    I'm selling a content site at http://www.SonyPlasmaTVs.net

    This is a 11 page mini-site content site containing 11 articles.
    It's all about "plasma TVs".

    Feel free to check it out and click around on the navigation, etc.
    My AdSense ID is not live, even though the ads are showing.
    Out of courtesy to the advertisers please don't click on any ads.

    It has a very professional, eye-catching layout with high quality
    graphics and is very user friendly.

    Here are the topics of the articles:
    1. Sony Plasma TV
    2. Sony Plasma Television
    3. LG Plasma TV
    4. Best Plasma TV
    5. Best Plasma Television
    6. Cheap Plasma TV
    7. Discount Plasma TV
    8. Plasma Stand
    9. Plasma TV Stands
    10. Plasma TV Buying Guide
    11. Plasma TV Ratings

    Here is a short video showing the rankings for the top keywords.
    http://www.sonyplasmatvs.net/videos/rankings/

    Here is a video showing the traffic
    http://www.sonyplasmatvs.net/videos/traffic/

    The site gets free, automated traffic from search engines.

    These keywords bring in the majority of the traffic:
    Sony Plasma TV
    Sony Plasma TVs
    Sony Plasma Televisions
    Sony Plasma Television
    Discount Plasma TV

    Here is the image of the current rankings.
    [​IMG]

    If you notice from the image above, many of the keyword
    rankings could be improved with just a little promotion, which
    would easily double the traffic and earnings from this site.

    Here are the number of links to the site from Yahoo! Site Explorer:
    http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=http://www.sonyplasmatvs.net&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=u

    The AdSense placement will get a high CTR due to
    its prominent placement as well as the color schemes
    used to highlight the ads. I have quite a few content sites
    like this and they easily get over 10% CTR.

    Here is an image of the earnings for the last 5 months.
    [​IMG]

    This site is not brand new. In fact it was created on Mon 09/29/2008,
    so you are getting an aged domain. You will get the domain name,
    the website design (along with the template), all of the content, along
    with the search engine rankings already in place.

    This is an auction, but the first person to BIN
    gets the site and domain name. The domain name is
    registered at NameCheap.com so its a free transfer if
    you have a NameCheap account (if you don't have one,
    they are free). You will need to have a NameCheap
    account. No, I won't transfer to other registrars.

    If you are interested or have questions, please contact me
    by posting your questions and/or comments here, instead of PM.
    This way everyone can benefit.

    Best wishes, and happy bidding!

    Neil

    Starting Bid - $100
    Min Increments - $10
    BIN (Buy It Now) - $180
    End Date - November 8, 2009 at 7pm PST
    If you are interested in a Buy-It-Now, send me a PM (Payment- IS IMMEDIATE AND MUST BE WITH PAYPAL for any BIN).
    Highest bidder will take it on Sunday November 8, 2009 at 7pm, unless someone takes it by Buy-It-Now.
    *Only accepting payment through PayPal

    I have not had any trouble from Sony regarding the trademark. That being said, I could not guarantee what might happen in the future - who knows?

    Yes. Currently the only income from this site has been from Adsense.

    It wouldn't take much to add another program in order to monetize the site with banners, or other ads, etc...

    Thanks for that. More Qs:

    1. Why is your AdSense ID not live?

    2. You seem to know what youre doing, so why sell this site if it earns money for no work?

    It was live until earlier today when I posted the site for sale here on DP.

    I don't want to do anything that may put my Adsense account in jeopardy. Getting a sudden surge in visitors from one source (i.e. DP forum) could look suspect to Google and may perhaps appear as some kind of scheme to make money by having "friends" click on my ads.

    I would rather simply deactivate my Publisher ID until the site sells to avoid any potential complication and/or draw undue attention to my account from the quality of the clicks the site may receive.

    That is a very good question. I forgot to mention that I have a few small bills that I need to pay, and would rather have the lump of money than the $8/mo this site is currently making.

    I have lots of other sites that are making more money, which is where I spend the majority of my time. I just don't seem to have the time to devote to this site in order to increase the traffic and revenue right now.

    Of course I am not desperate to sell this site since it is already making money. If I can't sell it for my price, then I will just keep it.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Kind regards,

    Neil

    I received a PM asking how to add additional programs to monetize this website.

    My answer would be that there are a number of other programs such as eBay's affiliate program and Amazon.com's affiliate program that should be able to generate a decent commission for you on a regular basis.

    It would be simple to create or collect a banner from either of these two programs and insert it into the left hand navigation and/or just below the headline in the middle column of the website.

    The whole process would probably take 2-3 minutes to implement for the entire website.

    Hope this helps,

    Neil

    I received a PM asking:
    "Is the template included in this website would be suitable to use for other websites as well."

    Yes, the template included could be used on as many other websites as you would like.

    Also:
    "Is it hard to use and does it require special software to edit?"

    No. Editing the template is very easy. No special software is required to edit the template. All you need to be able to do is know how to copy and paste in order to make a few minor changes.

    Hope this helps,

    Neil
