    I see what you are seeing. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I can not explain it. I am not paying for this listing however. Once again, I checked the links and my site is listed there, but I do not even have a advertising account with Yahoo at this time. I do have sites that I have paid for advertising or links, but this is not one. I would disclose the advertising budget if I were spending that is no big deal. I cannot explain this as this is the first time I have seen this listing. Thank you for the interest in Moderncellphones.com.

    Sincerely,
    krjewellers

    OWNED.
    lol, Yahoo isn't in the habit of selecting sites for free advertising, specially without the sites owner even knowing about it.

    I cannot explain this. I looked into it however. The listing is active. It is for a Denon DP-29F Analog Turntable that sales for $149 at Amazon. Anyone who knows PPC and Amazon would realize immediately, this would not be a good business decision. This is a Turntable, you know record player style. This is not my focus with this website.

    Because the site caches the Amazon feed, I do get a lot of traffic for things one would not associate with Cell Phones. The site ranks high in search engines for things like this turntable, recipe books, etc. The value of this site is the search engine saturation, according to my logs Moderncellphones.com received search engine traffic for over 7000 keyword phases in July. This website is not dependent on one or two main keywords. This is by design.

    Once again, I would only be guessing why Moderncellphones.com is listed in Sponsors Ads for this turntable. All I can say is I did a Yahoo! Search for Denon DP-29F Analog Turntable and Moderncellphones.com is ranked #9. The listings on the site in question is rotating listings, and Moderncellphones.com is coming up about every forth or fifth refresh currently. I am not paying for this listing. I do not know how popular this keyword is for Yahoo! I do not object to them using my listing. By the way, it appear the mod_rewrite is at work here. Look at the search on the page of the listing, pay special attention to the 500 in search and Moderncellphones.com's listing. The header in the listing is the title tag of the page. Then put the header, Denon DP-29F Analog Turntable, in Yahoo! Search. Check Moderncellphones.com results. The mod_rewrite is excellent in this website. Thank you for the interest in the site. I have attempted to give accurate and truthful information so you can make a buying decision.

    Sincerely,
    krjewellers

    Hi netgene,

    I know you would not ask this question unless you were interested in owning this website.

    Please give me the benefit of the doubt concerning this Sponsored Listing. I assure you I am not using a PPC campaign to advertise a Turntable I had never heard of until yesterday with an advertising account I do not have.

    My guess is Yahoo! Search is using its natural search listings to supplement or fill the Sponsored Listing on this page with relevant results. This does not appear to be a very popular keyword search. I cannot say that. And, in reality I do not know for certain why the listing appears there. The only thing I am 100% certain of is I am not paying for that listing. This site stands on it own merit. I do not need to misrepresent its worth. It is what it is, and if I were using PPC for Moderncellphones.com, I would simply state that fact. It is important and should be disclosed. Sites sell for considerable amounts based on good PPC performance.

    This website has massive saturation with Yahoo! Search. Yahoo! Search likes Modencellphones.com, and we like Yahoo! Search, a lot. The website is established and growing in popularity with MSN and Google. We like them too.

    The current bid is about 5x monthly earnings, which is a good deal in my opinion. This is a quality website. You should bid. I think you would enjoy owning Moderncellphones.com. Thank you for your interest in my auction. Click here for eBay Auction. There is a lot more information about Moderncellphones.com there.

    Sincerely,
    krjewellers

    Yes, with less than six hours to go, the bid is at a little less than 10x currently monthly income. I have posted eight months of income statement on eBay, so as you can see Moderncellphones.com has been making money consistently. I sold two cordless phones yesterday, see screenshot below. This site also has a quality design, premium (proven) keyword rich domain, and if you consider potential, this website has a lot of that.

    Cell phones, phones, and other communication devices are in demand, and that demand is growing. The interenet is growing. This is a well positioned website to take advantage of that growth. I can only offer this opportunity for the next few hours, and then the site will be gone. If you have considered owning this type of site, please consider bidding as it is still a pretty good deal in my opinion. Click Here for Auction.

    Congrats on the sale! Ebay strikes again, a $1,000 increase in the last 20 seconds. Off the record, what were you hoping to get for the site?

    Hi mouseketrips,

    Thank you very much. I went into this sale with no expectations. When I decide to sell, I totally commit to a fast sale wtih the belief the market with determine the fair market value of the website. If I go into it with any other expectations, I believe I am setting myself up for disappointment. I am very humble and grateful. Once again, thanks.

    Cheers,
    krjewellers

    P.S.
    I have already transferred the domain and changed the publisher codes on the site. The new owner is already starting to make his money back. I did a six page analysis on this website. He was one of the bidders who requested it by email. He has expansion plan for Moderncellphones.com. I hope he does really well with his new website.
