PR3 The Simpsons video blog w/ traffic & revenue

Discussion in 'Sites' started by websiteresell, Jan 30, 2008.

    I am selling SimpsonsVideoClips.com which runs on WordPress and is a current PR3. I began this site in late July of last year but had stopped posting by late August due to lack of time & focus. Without advertising or updates over the rest of 2007, the site still averaged 1,500 uniques per month from direct type-in and Google rankings.

    At the start of January I relaunched the site with a new look and using videos primarily from Hulu.com which is backed by Fox. I have posted 22 new videos over January (also posting each one by hand to Digg, Reddit and StumbleUpon) which has increased the traffic to over 2,800 uniques & 4,200 total visits.

    URL: SimpsonsVideoClips.com (reg'd @ GoDaddy til 7/24/08 - valid PR3)
    -blog stats: 62 posts in 39 categories
    -2,800+ uniques in Jan, over 10,000 uniques since Jul 07
    -4,200+ total visitors in Jan, over 15,000 total since Jul 07
    -12,000+ pageviews in Jan, over 40,000 total since Jul 07
    -$5.27 adsense income in Jan, $39.07 total adsense income since Jul 07
    -Jan referrers: 58.1% direct address/bookmark, 39.5% search engines, 2.1% external links
    -first page Google ranking for several popular terms including: simpsons video, simpsons clips, simpsons video clips, the simpsons video
    -i will include any/all related accounts for promotional tools such as digg, reddit, mybloglog, simpsons directory, technorati, feedburner, etc.

    Starting Bid: $25
    Increments: $5
    48 hour auction, will consider reasonable BIN

    Payment accepted via PayPal. I have proof of income, traffic, referrers, etc available upon request. Feel free to ask any questions.

    The site is not automated, I hand-picked all the videos myself. I even submitted to places like digg, reddit, and stumbleupon by hand. Obviously it could be a great move for traffic & revenue to automate the processes.

    I initially posted vids from YouTube, but as Hulu launched late last year Fox got most of The Simpsons vids removed from YouTube. Hulu is financially backed by Fox and those clips are official & legal.

    Hulu clips are currently only viewable in the U.S. as the service is in private beta. There are still some legal vids on YouTube (like video game trailers directly from EA, etc.) and other video sites you can post for visitors outside the U.S.. I will also include the Hulu private beta account to the buyer if needed.

    Current bid: $30

    Not sure what you mean, I don't know why it's low. But the old WP theme I had did convert better with adsense. However, the old theme was not wide enough to fit Hulu vids and I really just threw the adsense into this new theme. That's something the new owner can tweak to improve upon I guess.

    Last I heard Hulu was U.S. only but may have expanded now. U.S. accounts for about 75% of visitors, U.S. plus Canada & Europe is about 85%.

    Current bid: $50

    It wouldn't be hard to automate it if you can find a WP plug-in that pulls from Hulu. I haven't looked for one.

    It is very easy though to automate the submission process to sites likes reddit, digg, stumble, and more because there are plenty of free WP plug-ins available that let you post to these sites directly from your blog post. I have one installed for reddit already. Plug-ins are simple to install, I can help the new owner with this if needed.

    Current bid: $65 a lot of interest in my BIN price, which I'm setting at $125. Make me an offer, I'm definitely selling to the highest offer, no reserve and I'm not 'testing the water'.

    You can cancel my bid. I wasn't aware that HULU was US only.

    You should probably have mentioned that.
