    Alright guys, this site has been my pride and joy for the past 6 months.

    www.carfront.com
    It is still greatly underdeveloped, but has seen some great successes already.
    The majority of the traffic is coming to www.carfront.com/news

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    The site was one of the first sites on the internet to cover the new Lamborghini Reventon, which generated huge amounts of traffic, one day over 8,000 unique came to the site. It is now currently ranking #2 on Yahoo for 'Lamborghini Reventon'
    http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=lamborghini+reventon&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz2

    #5 on Google for Ferrari Tu Nero
    http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=Ferrari Tu Nero&btnG=Google Search
    (#2 is a news source that's story links to CarFront)

    Other terms it ranks pretty well for:
    lamborghini reventon
    tu nero ferrari
    2009 bmw m3 csl
    ferrari tu nero
    lamborghini leventon
    bmw sauber f1 car seat
    audi s4 2009
    1.5 million dollar lamborghini
    bugatti veyron pur sang

    I have had the site submitted to 1,500 directories, and those are still getting indexed by the search engines.

    Revenue is from Adsense and Kontera

    The site comes with a few URLs to

    LamborghiniReventon.com (I have had a $250 offer on this domain alone)
    LamborghiniLP640.com
    LamborghiniSuperveloce.com
    Ferrarif60.com
    FerrariPista.com

    This site is FAR from being complete, I was planning on implementing a store as well with it. I can let the buyer know of a supplier I was going to use.
    I was also going to have videos mined to be added to the site, but the person that I hired is a slacker and cannot follow through with the job.

    As far as marketing I have quite a few good ways of getting new, news stories out to the public, and a sure fire way to get a one way PR5 link from a news authority site, which has helped immensely in getting pages ranked quickly for keywords. I also have a few more marketing techniques that I will be glad share with the buyer.

    There is a lot of potential for this site for someone who can finish it.

    I am setting a BIN at $1,500.
    Please ask any questions you may have, thanks!

    How long ago did you establish the site? The domain is a year old but has no PR that seems a bit strange.

    I like the site but your asking price seems a bit high for a site that has no PR yet and small amount of revenue so far. That's just my opinion, but just checking if you are accepting offers below the BIN?

    Yes, I have had the domain for quite some time, but had not gotten the content on it until just a bit ago.
    Yes feel free to make offers below BIN


    To be honest, I was not expecting such a huge traffic jump and was not prepared for it at all. I myself to not have Adsense, so I was using some trusted colleagues, let me get screen shots of the first person I used. If I remember right it made $20+ a day during the spikes. The screen shots I provided were adsense added after the majority of the traffic and come.

    No I wasnt.

    Thanks guys. :)

    From the first screenshot does it mean that the website makes 2$/day? which is making it worth 600$? at 10x revenue?

    Yeah, so lets do that then... :)

    BIN is $600
    not including the other domains.

    I will break the site down a bit:

    Clip-Share license - $200
    Logo - $150
    Design - $300 (it has not been fully implemented, you will be provided all the source files)

    And then not to mention the money that I have spent getting things installed and working correctly.
    I am in to this site much more than I will get out...but I am in great need for some cash.

    "not including the other domains."

    does your quoted traffic include the other domains?
