    >> Introduction

    Kortaz.com is a premium proxy listing site that has gained increasing popularity over the past few months. From its humble beginnings until now, Kortaz.com has slowly but surely become one of the web’s most well known proxy listing websites.

    Recently the site has undergone a complete makeover that has provided increase stability, automated payments and link submission and a simple admin control panel.

    By offering both free and paid proxy listing placements, Kortaz.com has the advantage of receiving revenue whilst also building quality, related backlinks.

    As a result, the site is now PR4 (predicted PR5) with over 3,400 related backlinks and requested nearly 14,000 times per day, mainly due to its fantastic search engine rankings.

    Revenue is earned through “featured” proxy listings, Adversal pop-unders and Media Jump Quick Links, an alternative to Google’s Adsense.

    >> Website Statistics

    • Pagerank 4
    • Daily Visitors 14,000
    • Backlinks 3,426

    >> Position in Google

    The site’s position in Google has strengthened as the number of incoming backlinks has increased. We request that, whenever someone submits a free link, they must place a static, homepage link back to Kortaz.com with a keyword. This was recently “Web Proxy” until Kortaz.com ranked 1st, now we have moved to “Free Proxy List”


    >> Revenue

    Revenue is earned through three alternative methods. Firstly, “Featured Links” are purchased at $10 per month and over the past few weeks sales have been coming in naturally with no promotion. All links rotate to allow fair exposure to each site.

    Previous to that, a number of sold out sales threads were posted at Digital Point Forums and special deals of $7 or $8 per link were offered.

    Secondly, Adversal display pop-unders on the site whenever a link is clicked and this is earning around $10 - $20 per month. This number is rising as the site becomes more popular.

    Finally, Media Jump Quick Links, which are an alternative to Adsense, provide around $2 - $3 per day. I ran a test using Adsense for a period of 24 hours and the site brought in $2.41.

    >> Average Revenue Breakdown

    • Link Sales $100 per month (based over the past two months)
    • Text Links $77.5 per month (based on $2.5 per day)
    • Adversal $10 per month (based on January so far)
    • Total $170 per month.

    >> Proof of Earnings

    All screenshots were taken 20th January 2008. Please bear in mind there is still 11 days until the end of the month.


    >> Costs

    Originally the site was hosted on a $3.95 package at HostNine.com but they have gone complete downhill and I decided to move. The site runs on a VPS provided by CheapVPS.co.uk and costs $60 per month however I host a number of my other sites on there.

    As the site is not a proxy it does not require huge amounts of bandwidth so I am sure you could purchase an adequate hosting package for $10 - $30 per month.

    No promotion is done on the site apart from a monthly post at Digital Point Forums which is free.

    >> Admin Panel


    >> Price

    Taking into account

    • The recurring and stable revenue
    • The increase in visitors
    • The search engine position
    • The pagerank and predicted pagerank

    I wil start bidding at $1000. I would sell Kortaz.com for a BIN of $2,000 which is slightly short of 12x monthly revenue.

    >> Reason for Sale

    I have just graduated from university and would really like to clear some student debt. I have no urgent need to sell this site and to be honest I don't want too but I'd prefer to reduce what I owe.

    >> Notes

    • Domain registered with DynaDot.com
    • All featured links must remain in tact until their expiry date
    • Payment via Cheque (UK only) or PayPal 24hours after auction ends
    • I reserve the right to cancel this sale or refuse a an offer.

    I forgot to mention that the script is 100% custom. The template is a free theme but the backend is completely unique the the buyer will get 100% of the rights.

    Current bid $1100 at Sitepoint - Auction Link.
