    Hello folks ,

    Today Im listing one of my blogs making good money through affiliate marketing .

    Im a regular customer of GoDaddy and I usually use promotional codes so I decided to consolidate working coupon codes in a blog for my own use .Then I bought a premium domain name and started this blog on December 23, 2010. I have posted around 70 posts including working vouchers in 4 categories from 3 domain registrars and 1 hosting provider .

    I spend around 10 minutes a day for maintenance this blog . I have 3 sources for getting fresh promotional codes and I will give them to buyer .

    One month after starting this blog , Its PR gained 3 but now I see it has dropped to 1 .

    Also It has ranked well in its main keywords as the following (As you will read in future I have not ever optimized this blog for search engines):
    Pos:8 godaddy voucher
    Pos:9 godaddy vouchers
    Pos:11 promotional codes vouchers
    Pos:16 godaddy special
    Pos:18 godaddy promotional codes
    Pos:18 godaddy promotional
    Pos:18 use coupon

    See here for more details in keywords ranking.

    Visitors:
    This blog receives around 70 UV a day and 220 PV .
    Most of my visitors are from U.S.

    March traffic: http://newupload.ir/en/?di=713014071231
    Countries: http://newupload.ir/en/?di=4130140716111
    Sources: http://newupload.ir/en/?di=913014071921

    Feb traffic: http://newupload.ir/en/?di=913014070324

    Domain :
    Its a real premium domain name including its main keyword. It has registered in GoDaddy and its ready for push .

    HostGator:
    Actually I have not put a lot effort for HG affiliate marketing . I only publish 1 post a month including my affiliate link and coupon code , How ever it results 3 monthly sign ups in HG and it brings a good money for me . During previous 2 months I have received 6 sign ups by publishing only 2 posts regarding HG . 2 of these sign ups are not eligible , One of them has marked "Inactive" and the other one has marked as "Fraud" . So I have received 4 sign ups and I earned $200 .
    Also I joined HG affiliate program since February ( As you can see I have made coupon codes in 9th Feb )

    Proofs:
    http://newupload.ir/en/?di=3130122879216
    http://newupload.ir/en/?di=313012287525


    GoDaddy:
    As you may know GD doesn't pay even a penny for referral customers applying promotional codes . As I said before ,The intention of this site is publishing GoDaddy coupon codes So I don't personally expect any revenue from GD but this site made around $12 in this month for me from only 2 orders and 119+ clicks . As you see my CPA rate is in very low rate in GD because people who sees my blog often use promotional codes So I don't receive that commission .

    Proofs:
    http://newupload.ir/en/?di=013014065142
    http://newupload.ir/en/?di=313014065557

    Adsense:
    First of all I used this blog for making Adsense account and this blog got me approved in Adsense program . So you can be sure this site is eligible for monetizing from Adsense system .
    To tell you the truth this blog doesn't generate any revenue from Adsense for me . It has made me only $1.36 in February and $0.15 in March . But I believe putting Adsense codes in blog make it professionally and even it dedicates credibility to blog . So I didn't remove those codes .

    Private advertiser and link sale:
    This blog has a private advertiser pays $5 for a banner sized 120x240 in sidebar . He didn't renew this ad space for next month because his Paypal account got limited . Still I didn't try to search for new advertiser .
    Also I succeed to sell 1 link when it was PR 0 and it makes me $2 per month. So you can expect more by selling text link ads.

    Revenue of this blog:
    You can calculate its earning according to above descriptions but here is my monthly revenue from this blog:
    March: $100+$12+$1+$7=$120
    February: $100+$1+$7=$108 ( I joined GD affiliate program from the beginning of March )
    January: $1+$7=$8 ( Only from private advertiser and link sale )

    My promotion on this blog :
    The only promotion I have done for this blog is putting its link in my signatures in only 3 forums . I don't make a lot posts a day but people see my signature and visit my blog .
    Note that I bought 2 signature links at DP on 25 of March in order to get more visitors . Those links will be stay for 1 month intact .
    I have not ever optimized this blog for search engines and I didn't make back link for that . However I have bookmarked some of posts in my own social bookmarking websites .
    So it has really great potential for expanding . In the other word I think this blog has only achieved 10% of its aims , So you can understand its massive potential .

    Selling reason:
    Actually I have to provide around $10 K for a big project so Im going to sell some of my valuable blogs and websites.

    Buyer will get:
    I have some great and new strategies for developing this blog in my mind . I will share them with respectful buyer . Im sure next owner can double or even triple this blog's income . My ideas and plans fro this blog is unique and Im sure it will come handy for next owner .
    So I will give the following to buyer:
    - Domain and website
    - My ideas for developing this blog
    - FREE 1 month hosting account

    Price:
    I prefer selling this blog for x10 monthly revenue , So my ideal price is some thing around $1200 . I have assigned $700 as the starting bid . I will set "BIN" and "reserve price" later .
    So :
    Starting Bid: $700
    Bid Increment: $50
    BIN: Will be set :)
    Reserve Price: Will be set :)

    Payment can be done trough Paypal or Escrow.com .

    I think this thread includes every thing and all the necessary proofs . But you can post or PM me your questions .

    The way the bid is going you will make the selling money from revenue rather then from sale. So why are you selling it?

    My revenue in June was $90 by publishing review post and receiving one affiliate in HG. Also I received 2 sign ups during July but one of them has been marked fraud which is not available for commission . So I earned $50 from HG and $8 from GoDaddy affiliate network in July .

    No Reserve - Starting bid is only $250 . Please note that auction is open for only 24 hours .

    Hi, 
      Has this now been sold? I am more than a little confused. Offered $250 and i thought you had accepted as u sent me your paypal link and i said i would pay as the auction is not working. I dont want to pay if you have sold it to someone else, as that alone is annoying enough without money being tied up in Paypal too.
    Please let me know as i want to stick to our agreement but fear that something odd has happened.

    First of all Im really sorry about this problem and I hope you understand me .

    Well , The first who offered $250 for this site was you and I accepted your offer . Then I sent my PP ID for you , You said you will pay the money ASAP but I saw you went offline . Thats why I asked the next buyer to proceed the payment .

    I will ask "DomainMagnate" to come here and describe what happened .

    This is what I sent for him before you went offline .

    Again Im sorry about this problem and I accept it was my fault because I was negotiating with two serious buyers at the same time .

    Ok that would be good. After having my offer accepted and arrangements for me to pay, i did not expect that in the time it took to drive to my local coop and pay that this would have happened.

    I know it is unlikely to be resolved now and i can sort of see what happened. But you can obviously understand frustration. I cant be online and paying at the same time and it took less than an hour from my message saying that i was "going to pay it now". Imho we had a deal.

    As I said Im really sorry but let me tell you another history . There was a buyer who offered me $300 around 15 days ago . He postponed paying me and finally he didn't paid me . I decided to bump this sale thread because I've got to go for conscription in next 4 days and I didn't had enough time for looking new bids and offers . I thought your bid was like his offer too because you went offline right after we finalized the deal . So I thought its better if I sell it to another serious buyer .

    Again Im sorry and I hope you forgive me .
