Selling Football News Sites - 2 Sites To Sell As A Package - Google News Ready

    Well the time has come where i need to find a new niche in which to spend my time due to falling out of love with these sites.

    The two sites that i bring to the auction block are football (soccer) news sites that have been created within Google News guidelines so that they can be accepted into their news feed on submission.

    Football News Site One: www.FootballStreams.org/blog - PR2

    I created the site based on the domain that i bought with a view to create a live football streaming portal but i never got to develop that aspect of the site due to spending more time writing football news than i would have liked.

    The site has become popular with repeat visitors due to the way in which the site has been written, including 'Editor Thoughts', a category where i write about football related items that are on my mind, allowing for great expansion on the normal football news site out there on the net.

    The site ranks well for 'Football Streams' and a number of other long tail keywords related to the news stories, meaning that the site gets good traffic from the search engines related to the news posts that you add to the site.


    Football News Site Two: www.FootballInsight.org

    This is a more football news based site that offers readers the chance to be able to see football news, gossip and videos from across some of the biggest football leagues in the world.

    The theme is a great looking theme that has been placed onto the site to look like a news site and i feel that the site offers that sort of feel.

    The site comes with an improving level of traffic and a great looking site.


    Revenue from sites:

    I have only recently added Google Adsense to the second site as this helped to fill out the look of the site but i preferred not to add adsense to Football Streams as i wanted to keep the site clean.

    The claimed earnings come from the links that are placed on the site, which are very low for a sports site, allowing you plenty of placement to earn some of your spend back instantly by selling text link placements on the sites.

    Domains Held At: Godaddy


    Reserve Price: I have not placed a reserve price on the sale as this would be pointless as i can start the auction at the very lowest that i would accept for the sites.

    BIN: $2,000

    Things You Should Know:

    The sites have been a huge focus on mine for a number of months, meaning that unlike many of the sites that you will see on here that are autoblogs. This is a site for someone that wants to make a site from these GREAT examples, not someone who wants to autoblog their way through life!

    Payment: Paypal or Bank Transfer

    For those that are interested in seeing the traffic, please PM me your email and i will have the analytics emailed over to you.

    I will be looking to list the site on Flippa should there not be interest in the sites within the next 24 hours.

    Thanks

    That's fine. How long are you planning on letting the bidding run for?

    No desire to sell the sites at that price, so have listed elsewhere too.

    A recently registered domains .. no proof of earning , and low traffic for the amount of earning you are claiming ..

    Also, only 6 backlinks, which mean that you just bought some links from PR websites to achive PR2 .. links will disappear and your websites will lose everything ...

    It will be crazy to go higher than fadetblack22 bid ...

    Lets pick the bones out of this lot shall we...

    Okay you are seeing 6 backlinks into the homepage of the site but should you look at the backlinks of the site into the main aspect of the site, you would see that there are plenty more links into the site, the asking price is based on the domain, content and the PR of the site, a site that has very little OBL.

    If you are not interest in the site, how about you stop speaking without doing your full research and head onto the next out of sync comment that seem to become a norm with you?

    I think that main thing you are doing is adding pointless comments to a thread that you simply aren't interested in.

    That's your choice and you should really think about the fact that you have completely failed to realise that backlinks don't have to be main tld and can be deeper...

    The main thing you are doing is making yourself look unprofessional. If your site is worth your asking price, then you will have no problem selling it for that; however, bickering about your back links gets you no where.

    I'm somewhat interested. I'll follow the sale and get in contact with you if I want to pursue it further.
