3 1/2 year old website, PR6, $500+/month, webhost-resources.com!

Hey everyone,

I’m here today to sell the website www.webhost-resources.com for a friend of mine. Websites like this don’t come along very often, what is truly special about webhost-resources is the position it’s currently in and the potential for future growth. The niche market that webhost-resources is situated in is showing no signs of slowing down, with new hosting companies being launched everyday.

ABOUT THE WEBSITE

Launched 3 and a half years ago, Webhosting-resources is one of the leading webhosting directories online. Currently, the website contains 713 resources split into 36 different categories, there are 265 registered members.

The website comes with a completely unique design and an extremely modified version of the popular directory script indexu.

Customisations to the script included a built in advertising system that controls the advertising on the website, new campaigns can easily be added to the website within 30 seconds.

All files will be included, including the PSD files for the design, html files etc.

TRAFFIC & CURRENT SEARCH ENGINE RANKING

The website currently receives over 1,000 unique visitors per day, this is without any paid advertising and is mostly from search engines and links from other websites, either from past advertising or exchanges. A quick search on the following search engines for the sites keywords reveals the following search engine positions.

Keywords “webhost resources”

MSN – Position 1 (out of over120,000 results!)
Google – Position 3 (out of over 4,000,000 results!)

Keyword “webhosting resources”

Google – Position 7 (out of over 36,000,000 results!)



REVENUE

In terms of revenue, the website is making a solid $500/month with the potential to make $650 if all the advertising spots are sold (of course there is potential to make ALOT more, the site has made upwards of $1,500 previously), the only reason this isn’t the case is the current owner has been using the 728x90 banner spot for his own personal advertising rather than selling it. Most of the traffic to the website is organic from search engines and previous marketing, the only advertising that has been done in recent months is via links in signatures and posts in forums, such as Webhostingtalk.com.

There are very limited overheads, a small hosting package is more than enough to cater for this website, this won’t set you back more than $10/month.

PR 6 DOMAIN + 3 OTHER DOMAINS

The website comes with the domain www.webhost-resources.com which is a PR6 domain and is registered at namecheap for a further 2 years. Also included are the following alternate domains.

www.webhosting-resource.com
www.webhosting-resources.com
www.wh-r.com

FREE BANNER PACKAGE WORTH $229!

Included with the website are 2 banners that were designed by Bannersmall some time ago. Bannersmall have also decided to throw in an 8-banner package for the new owner valued at $229!

TEXT LINK FOR 3 YEARS WORTH $720!

If that’s not enough, the new owner will also get a text link from Bannersmall.com for 3 years! This is worth $720 alone, based on $20/month.

URL FEATURED IN EVERY OUTGOING E-MAIL FROM BANNERSMALL!

That’s right, a link to webhost-resources.com will be in every single outgoing e-mail from the most popular banner design company online! With over 3,500 clients and 25,000 banners already designed, bannersmall has over 150 e-mails every single day!

PAYMENT & DELIVERY

Payment can be made via wire or paypal. Once payment has been received all the files will be transferred to the new owner and the domains will be pushed to their account within 48 hours. If you need any help with getting the website setup, we will be glad to assist. No refunds will be furnished under any circumstances. Serious bidders only. We are looking for a quick sale.

BIN - $6,500 or NBO.

Any questions, please feel free to ask.

Kind Regards.

 

Those keywords are not very high searched keywords. Can you please post referer stats and search engine stats. Also can you please post any revenue proof you have thanks

 

looking forward for the info

 

Please PM me your stats (refs, search terms)

 

Hey there guys,

Here are the referal and keyword stats.

www.robertryall.com/keywords.jpg

Let me know if there is anything else I can do. We do have revenue proof available for serious buyers only.

 

Just like to update, we have sold a $175 banner advert for the site (the one the current owner was using). So revenue for this month is $675.

 

Any proof of revenue.Also i see 0% traffic from searchengines and 99% from direct bookmarks. How can you say it gets most of its traffic from search engine. Let me know thanks . Also can you take screenshot of full screen because that doesnt prove that traffic stats and referer stats are for this website thanks

 

Hi there, well some traffic does come from search engines (even if it does say 0%) yeah, it seems alot does come from direct bookmarks and type ins, but that's surely a good thing. Regardless, the revenue the website is making should not be in doubt. I guess it was my error to make such an asumption.

If people have doubts over this, i'm admin on www.talkfreelance.com and the owner of this site is the owner of www.bannersmall.com one of the largest banner design firms online. Everything is above board.

Please see these URL's for the full screen images.

Also, regarding revenue..let me speak to the owner again. I will get back to you with some screens or something.

 

Hi everyone,

It was very hard to get revenue proof in terms of paypal screens as payment is split across several different accounts. However, I have managed to get a full list of Septembers paid advertisers with contact information for you to double check with etc. Please see below. Anymore questions, let me know.

Offer of $6,000 recieved. Looking to sell this tonight.

 

Because you own a forum it does'nt mean anything.. But good luck selling

 

It's a way for people to judge my reputation. Something i'm not about to throw away by ripping people off. A forum you're banned on if i'm not mistaken? Please don't jump into this thread if you're not interested in buying.

 

i see the home page as pr5

 

It's PR6, on all PR checkers i've tried, if it's the browser that's showing it, that's not always the most upto date.

 

What are the stats of the hostgator banner. I am surprised that your revenue is so small with all the traffic you get.

 

Hi, I can't give you the stats for a private advertiser.

 

You claim it makes $500 a month, so show us 3 months of stats, or at least more than 1! Thanks.

 

with some POI I may bid

 

Is the transaction all complete then?
