    hey guys,

    Im sorry to let this one go, but I havnt had the time of passion over the last month and I would hate to see all my hard work go down the drain!

    Here are the stats:

    Website: www.standoutblogger.com

    Page Rank: 2
    Alexa Ranking: 116,916

    RSS Subscribers: 190

    Posts: 53 ( Averaging 10-30 comments each!)

    TRAFFIC:
    Currently averaging 200 uniques a day even though I have only made one post in the last month! During my active posting I was getting as much as 500 uniques a day (averaging about 350).

    Traffic comes from a mixture of google searches, and stumble, but I seem to get a fair bit of type in traffic.

    ABOUT:
    Standoutblogger.com includes an amazing custom design that would cost a couple of hundred to get done, as well as an amazing custom logo. I focused a lot on brandability and being active in my nice and it paid off. Within my niche i was starting to gain a growing following which you will notice if you look at my post announcing I was selling: HERE

    INCOME:


    I havnt resold any of the ad spots this month so that the new owner can start making money straight away. But here is my earnings for last month(considering i didnt make a post!):

    $30 - 3 125 adspots at $10 each
    $50 - Affiliate income from host gator
    $1.84 - Adsense

    Total: $81.84


    As I was still in the early stages of building the blog, I didnt want to over monetise the blog and scare my subscribers/visitors away. This figure could easily be doubled or tripled this month!

    I was offered $35 for a review post, which I turned down as I was looking at selling.

    Starting Bid: $1
    Bid Increments: $20
    BIN: announced shortly

    I will give this auction a week so that everyone has a chance to get in, however I reserve the right to close it early if I receive a good enough offer.

    I know you will probably all want more info that i missed...so feel free to ask questions below :D

    how old is the blog?
    I started this blog at the end of April this year

    why r u selling it?
    I am selling it because I have lost the passion I had for it, and am getting out of the make money online niche.

    was it promoted ? how ?
    I bought a couple of 125 adspots on smaller blogs during the month of July, but other than that, I just did a heap of entrecard dropping and was very active in my niche commenting on other blogs. I also made a guest post on TylerCruz.com, MixedMarketArts.com, and CarlOcab.com

    Wormman - Thanks for the Bid!

    It's such a shame that you are selling Tom, but I guess that sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Best of luck with your future projects and life :)

    P.S. Bonus for buyers! If you buy this blog it will also come with one very loyal and comment crazy reader, me!

    Hi,

    I'm new here so I am not sure if that matters but I found this forum via your website and I may be interested in purchasing Stand Out Blogger but it does depend upon what BIN you set it at.

    Thanks and regards,

    Peter

    That doesn't seem like a nice idea. What if the statistics aren't appealing to the winning bidder, or if you show fake stats, or something along those lines?

    I'm not saying I don't trust you, but I reckon it would be best to show your stats right here on this thread to prevent potential bidders from doubting you.

    Could you put up the feedcount widget, so that we can verify the RSS subscribers?

    thanks.

    Due to lack of interest I will hopefully be listing this blog for sale over at sitepoint sometime tonight.

    I will let you know the link as soon as it is up. Included will be revenue and traffic stats as people have mentioned.

    I know I have said I will list it on sitepoint. But I have had a change of heart and think I will keep it for the time being. I guess you never realise what you have got til you almost lose it!

    Tom, I'll put in a $300 bid valid for 24 hours, if you really are still interested in selling.
