Just found out this niche directory http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/auction/17818 on sale at SitePoint. Makes great money with adsense.
I have to say the revenue is impressive, generating so much from adsense itself is pretty good for a web directory. I am sure it will sell for a good amount Meti
wow .. really the adsense revenue is amazing on this niche directory and the domain is also good. I think though that is slightly over priced !
A JOKE? Very low number of visits, Alexa below 1 million. It can be 5-20 visits per day. AdSense must be close to NULL. I'm sorry - but I'm always honest to people, never try to use their naivety. And for longer distance it always pays off! - D.
I agree.. Alexa and his awstats looks controversial http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/automobiledir.com
Alexa is garbage, it only tacks webmaster traffic. Tarffic that has alexa bar installed. how many automotive dealers, webmasters know about alexa toolbar or have it installed. If your alexa is below 100,000 it doesnt mean you are established or make great revenue. It means your alexa is below 100,000. Get you facts straight before making assumptions.
"Alexa" may be garbage to some BUT up to now it is the closest measurement we have as nobody has tried to venture down that road as of yet. PS ... the alexa dont match the $$ from adsence so .... and as someone mentioned above.... your somehow mixed up with this site otherwise you wouldnt have started a thread about it. can you say.... kickback laterz malcolm
I am very suprised. It seems aspidov is the only one using commonsense here. Alexa = measure of some webmaster traffic. I once had a site (browser based game) with 3000 kids visiting to play each day. Alexa was virtually 3 million. Does the low alexa rank mean it had low traffic? nope. The adsense revenue is great. Thats why its definatly worth $18,000 or more as within a year you would almost be in profit. Seems that all the traffic is organic, the content and backlinks are doing the job. Its pretty much income on auto pilot. As for traffic, its great. The 1100 visits a day is genuine, just look at how many page impressions the adsense units get - 1100 - therefore i belive its not fake at all. A great site with income on auto pilot. Well worth the money for who ever buys it, IMO.
Well buy it up mikey since its such a bargain Im not dogging the directory or its owner just saying that it sounds fishy and imho the numbers dont match... where is it in the google serps? what keywords is it using to bring in such a tidalwave of adsence revenue? thx malcolm
read what i said, the numbers do match. ask the owner. if i had that much money to spend, it would be invested on my directory or other sites.
So i still see alexa supporters here.. I can show couple of examples to prove that alexa is crap. 120 uniques per day for a site of mine - The site has alexa of 163,122 1600 uniques per day for another site - Alexa is 799,121 That's the main reason i don't trust alexa! It is something like crap.. Adsense proof is shown by the seller, which shows that it is perfectly earning some good $$ and is well worth some good price.
Alexa : http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/racingtrader.ca Real Proof : Google Analytics 4,950 visits came from 78 countries/territories
Nobody says its perfect and i agree very far from it since it only measures from others that have the alexa bar installed BUT as mentioned before its the closest we currently have... I wonder why Google or Microsoft dont get involved and make a measurement themselves... thx malcolm
it seems traffic is good but he is pulling in the money with high CTR as high as 25% thats what the stats says
Well, Maybe its good, I just thought that Aspidov having posted on sitepoint saying how good the site was, then comes over to digital point to open a thread on it, seemed a bit strange to me. I ran seomoz on it and it has a PS of 3 or 3.5 from what I remember
