CreditDeals.com For Sale (ESTABLISHED in 1999)!

I'm sure I'm going to kick myself later for this, but my finances have forced me to sell a site that I haven't had the chance to devote time into like I'd wished.

CreditDeals.com was established in 1999 is a totally original credit card "suggestion" site which generates income from Adsense and by referring applicants to credit card companies (NCSReporting, Sunspotweb, CommissionSoup, etc).

Every single word on the site and the blog is custom written by me or my writer, and...I'm including a script that is COMPLETELY UNIQUE - a free rent vs. buy calculator.

I hand coded that myself for a class project.

The site runs on a shared server and there is little maintenance required. The pages can be changed to offer actual cards (and increase conversions), but...like I said I got too lazy.

As for income, there's some but not a whopping amount. I used to get 2-3 referrals minimum a month with a pay of $40 per referral, but that has dwindled since I let the site sit. Adsense pays around $1.50 per click which is awesome. I just added Adsense a few days ago, and have already made a few dollars.

The site has also been SEO'd and gets traffic from Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Traffic is of high quality and at around 1500 visits/month (with no work).

The right person will take this site and turn it into the money churning machine it was meant to be.

Starting Bid: $5000
There is no BIN.
Auction will end Friday, January 18 at midnight (EST). Good luck!

 

that starting bid is a joke buddy, given that you state you USED to get 2-3 referrals a MONTH at $40 a pop - thats $120 a month, and in your own words, thats what it USED to do, not any more. Put a realistic price tag, I may be interested. Either that, or back up where you are plucking the price from...no offence, but with the number of sites for sale on this forum, you gotta be living in cloud cuckoo land to slap that starting price in.

 

I agree with logondotinfo the site doesn't have any revenue, on top of that its only a pr2. To justify your $5000 price tag the site would at least need to bring in $400 a month.

 

I'll offer $1000 for it.

 

I'll offer $2,500..

 

I'm not going to stand here and justify the price, as I know the domain is well worth the starting bid amount. I will accept sportfx's current bid of $2500 as the need to sell outweighs the investment I have put into it.

 

I would say the domain name and age does deserve some degree of value, as would the traffic in this niche, can you provide screenshots of traffic figures and screenshots of referers..

 

You don't have to justify anything, but if you're willing to accept $2500, why not make the starting bid $2500? You just negated the argument you were defending. Anyway, good luck with the sale.

I am sorry but I just can't see the values there. It is Pr2 and not making good money. Is that just because the domain was registered in 1999?

 

I think the starting bid is more to do with the domain rather than the site...

It is a very nice domain name, and could potentially be worth a lot of money to an end user. Much more than $5000 if the right buyer was found.

I do not think it is fair to criticise his asking price and ruin his thread. It is his domain/website, and therefore he can ask for any amount he wants for it.

 

Can you please PM or show here search referral data, site referral data and other traffic stats for as far back as you have it.
Thanks

Also, please PM me when you have decided on a BIN price. Seriously.

 

You guys crazy right?
If i had this kind of money i would have invested in this domain for sure!

The domain itself is worth the $5000 or more

Wow thats a great domain name. Definately worth a large chunk of cash on its own. This domain could be sold for a lot more than $5,000 if marketed correctly and in the right places. Shame my cash is all tied up

The top bid is $3800 already kokes.
