    Selling TenthYard.com - I chose the name because we blog about the whole 9 yards, and then some!

    Handful of organic traffic - not monetized. Was testing a few things and it's time to move on.

    Bidding starts at $10.00 with $5.00 increases, will end 7 days after last bid with a BIN of $250.00.

    The articles which are bringing in traffic are 100% original.

    There are some other articles that I legally own, but aren't 100% original. These can be removed if you like, that was part of the experiment.

    However, the articles bringing in organic traffic are 100% hand-written from a Fiverr article writer.

    Before I bid I probably should have asked, how many articles are not original?

    Only about 3 or 4 articles are original.
    If the ones that aren't original are making you nervous, they can be removed.

    They aren't increasing the worth of the site anyway...

    I'm not selling the website because of the content. I'm selling the site because of the organic traffic.

    Google ranks pages, not websites - so I'm curious what is causing you to laugh?

    Also, if you don't like the quality of the website - why did you place a bid? I've cancelled it until I can understand your thought process.

    This site uses Google AdSense (as of Nov 23, 2016), but the seller is choosing to not disclose revenue data. Ask them why.

    I installed Adsense to configure the placement but then removed the codes.

    The traffic is the selling point here, any questions on that?

    Are you saying the initial price of $10 is too high?

    If the site is such a joke, why would you bid? That doesn't say much about your own intelligence.

    I wonder what he is basing that on, I can prove everything I am claiming.

    Also, if it was a scam I wouldn't have cancelled his bid.

    This is DP where the average member pulls in about $500 U.S. a year. Did you really expect to find a bunch of rocket scientists/brain surgeons here?:rolleyes:

    I would assume that someone actively investing in digital properties would indeed have a fair amount of intelligence.

    Everyone's entitled to their opinion, seems you're quite famous on DP for ignorantly scrutinizing other peoples auction.

    That said can you tell us more about the site history, I'm trying to understand your $250 BIN price tag.

    I welcome the scrutiny, it's a blast for me :)

    Site has no history. I paid a guy on Fiverr $6.00 to write an article and that subsequent post ranked for several different keywords.

    Pretty simple really. 95% of the content is junk... but one page is pulling in a handful of organic search visitors each day.

    I pulled the $250 out of thin air, so don't spend too much time putting pen to paper figuring that number out.
