    Hi everyone,

    I am looking to sell my credit card reviews site. It makes about $150 every month and it's growing, but I need the cash asap. The income is generated solely through credit card affiliate programs, not Adsense or YPN. If you decided to add Adsense ads, you may be able to make more. As you may know, the credit card industry is huge on the internet. It get millions of searches every month, so if you can get a small piece of that business, theres a lot of money to be made.

    Depending on the affiliate program, you can generate between $5 to $70 per application/lead.

    I've invested a lot of money into this site already. It's all custom designed and scripted. It has an admin section where you can add, edit, or delete data. In addition, the domain name is catchy and brandable, and site has a PR4. Here's the site: ApexCreditCards.com

    Money spent:
    • About $800 to have it custom designed from scratch
    • $199 to have it listed on Business.com
    • $99 to have it listed on a PR6 page at STPT.com
    • $39 for a listing on bCentral.
    • Plus it's listed on many other permanent paid directories including Joeant.com, WowDirectory.com, AliveDirectory.com, and tons of published articles!

    Backlinks: Im not exactly sure how to check for true backlinks, but I think around 500 to 800 from each search engine. Please check for yourself, I encourage you to.

    This offer is for serious buyers only; please do not waste yours or my time. This is not an auction; so there is no timeframe. I will accept the best offer above $2500.

    Thanks for looking!

    Thanks for the link, but I think there is some serious flaws with that tool. It only shows 4 backlinks from Yahoo. There's no way that's correct. Simply type in "apexcreditcards" on Yahoo, and you'll see over 500 results.

    You are correct. A better tool would be through CasCandra's site where nearly 3000 backlinks pop up with more than 1000 via Yahoo! alone.

    is people from outside of USA eligible for the affiliate link? How hard is it to sign up with those existing affiliate you have? How many of them?

    i'd like to know the details of these as it may not be wise to buy if i am not eligible and there's simply too many affiliate to take care of.

    I'm interested.

    Please provide proof of revenue and traffic stats.

    Is there a problem with foreign ownership from Canada.

    No. Although you can use CJ, there are other affiliate companies that pay a higher bounty for most cards. I personally use icommissions and ncsreporting.

    To be honest with you, I am not familiar with the policies of all the affiliate companies out there. For credit cards, I primarily use icommissions and ncsreporting because they tend to pay the highest per lead, and they also specialize in financial products such as credit cards and loans. You can use any affiliate company you wish. All you need is the affiliate link to input into the admin section.

    I don't see a problem with foreign ownership. You just need to make sure you qualify for the affiliate programs you plan on promoting through the site. As I said, there are many affiliate companies out there, and they each have their own policies as far as eligibility.

    Here's the stats. It's not significant, so I copy and pasted it:
    Month Unique visitors Number of visits Pages Hits Bandwidth
    Jun 2006 267 379 1782 6381 53.35 MB
    Jul 2006 432 1358 6078 17579 166.19 MB
    Aug 2006 350 1367 7896 28695 211.28 MB
    Sep 2006 459 1339 5022 11237 126.11 MB
    Oct 2006 602 1551 5284 19018 161.43 MB
    Nov 2006 577 1282 3784 13879 124.40 MB
    Dec 2006 233 367 1567 5931 49.65 MB - Today is only the 7th, so we're headed for a record breaking month!

    Please see above.


    Please keep in mind that I am only selling the website. I will not be responsible for your eligibility into any affiliate program(s).
