Selling College Football Fight Songs: $900+/yr Adsense 7 years old

Discussion in 'Sites' started by lithman, Apr 23, 2012.

  1. #1
    I have a college football fight song website for sale. I'm not going to lie, this website is pretty ugly -- that's because it hasn't been updated since 2006. Talk about a handoff, make money without doing anything type of site ... this is it. The site is going into it's 7th year with absolute zero maintenance and it's still growing in traffic and making money. With a little work, someone could turn this site into something huge.

    Every year there is a new influx of college freshman who have no idea what th lyrics are to their school's fight songs. People will always be searching for these lyrics.

    Why am I selling such a strong money maker?
    I'm not in a dire need to sell, but could use the funds to help with a new project I'm working on.

    Traffic
    Traffic is actually on the rise over the past few years.

    Adsense
    Since the site first started with Adsense on January 25, 2006 it has done $6,297.35. When you look at the screenshot you will see the graph is in waves. The crest of the waves represent football season.

    Year date ranges are

    Year 1 - $725.21 (1/25/2006 - 1/24/2007)
    Year 2 - $1590.50
    Year 3 - $1067.08
    Year 4 - $999.97
    Year 5 - $955.14
    Year 6 - $882.13
    Year 7 - $77.32 (1/25/2011 - 4/23/2012)

    NOTE: Year 7 looks low, but that's because we haven't hit football season yet. This site does almost all it's traffic/revenue from Aug - Dec

    ValueClickMedia
    Since the site first started with ValueClickMedia in August 2007, it has done $389.36 in sales

    Other Revenue
    - Link sales (I've done at least $1000 of these over the years)


    I'll run this like an auction, but do reserve the right to end it early if I get a good offer. I do have a reserve price too.

    Starting bids at $1000
    BIN: $2300

    Minor notes:
    - I think you mean year 7 is 1/25/2012 - 4/23/2012 (not 1/25/2011 - 4/23/2012)
    - Typically sites sell for 10-18 months worth of revenue round here, you'll be lucky to get 24m.

    Good luck with the auction.

    Sambreaux - Are you bidding $1000 or just stating some fictitious quote?
