[FOR SALE] InstalledHome.com - Pimping Out Your Home with Technology / PR4 blog

    Hey all!

    Been a while since I dropped by here to sell any sites so I figured I would pop in and offer this one up for sale as I am currently selling off some assets for a new job board project. :)

    Right, the site is www.installedhome.com. This is a site I started a little while ago, made some posts on, and then did little else with due to lack of time.

    Its niche is home technology and has plenty of scope for providing guides, product reviews, launches, forums etc, though obviously that is future development so I am not trying to make money on the 'potential' ;)

    The site is now a PR4 in Google so there is plenty to play with in terms of getting pages indexed and building traffic.

    Speaking of traffic, like I mentioned, very little has been done. Little time and no money have been spent on promoting the site. It was getting between 500-1000 visitors per month, but has now dropped to around the 200 mark. I think there are some subscribers on the RSS feed too with feedburner but have not checked of late. SCREENSHOTS ATTACHED

    The content is mostly unique, sometimes bits of a press release may have been spliced into the posts but beyond that it is not scraped or automatic etc, it's all been done manually.

    The design is based on a free template that I have then customised, created a logo for, and edited to suit the site categories better etc. I also played with the title formatting and some other bits and bobs.

    Regarding price, I have no idea at this point what a PR4 established blog is going for as have not sold for a while so will do some research and try to get back here with a BIN at some point shortly.
    EDIT// following on from a number of PM messages (thanks all) I am putting a BIN of $750 for the time being due to the $->£ conversion rate here in the UK. Feel free to bid less than that on the post or via private message if you like as the site can go for less, I am just setting the BIN at this for the time being. :) Thanks

    Payment is via paypal or google checkout.
    I will run this until Sunday or until a reasonable offer is made etc.

    As always, should you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer in as much detail as possible.


    EDIT// Seems that the attached images (gif) dont load correctly on dp at the moment? So here are image shack links for the images

    Good luck and happy bidding! :)

    Odd - the attached graphics seem to have errors. Who is the registrar for the domain?

    Hmmm, seems something is up with DP as its not showing the images when the thumbs are clicked for some reason. Will upload them to image shack or something in the next couple of mins.
    EDIT// here are the links for you

    As for the registrar, the domain is currently with omnis.com. It is free to get an account with them if you want it pushed to another account there? Or it can be transferred away to another host etc if so desired. Omnis is just my personal preference these days. :)

    hope that helps

    It has had a few clicks and $ from Adsense but assume no income at this stage is probably best. :)

    Traffic is as per stats. I don't use alexa for anything these days. Its a non promoted site. All is explained in the original post. :)

    Only a handful of posts too, as explained in original post, however maybe not very clearly. :)

    And the age is the same as the months the stats go back to. So a few months and long enough to get a PR 4.
