Selling 300,000 searches on my exact domain name url per month

The website holds professional gamers live streams while they play League of legends. The website updates automatically and requires no maintenance as it scrapes the feeds from other websites.

The search term Lol Streams gets 135,000 searches per month

The search term Lol stream gets 246000 searches per month.

Your domain is an exact match giving you more chance to rank than anyone else as it's: www.lol-streams.com

The competition is very low so if you spend a little you should easily get it top of the first page where the traffic will be astronomical.



It's approx 6 months old with just 1 weekends worth of marketing spent on it which pushed it up to the 3rd page, 2nd page in usa where it gets about 200-300 uniques per month already. I've just last night stuck some ads/products on it as I didn't realize it was ranked already as I've not had time to work on this but a lot of research and development went into creating it at first. I'm selling my online portfolio before returning to England where I plan to set up an offline company (more stable than the internet these days).


Conservative earnings estimate:

30% of 300,000 = 90,000

2% of them click an ad and you make approx :126 usd

2% of them purchase something off amazon averaging 30 usd would be 1800*30=$54000 and 8% commission for you so 4320 usd

Those are very low percents of the potential search traffic here and i've been quoted 3-4 months of seo to get it ranked top of the first page. I'm selling a golden egg here... Serious offers only please.

 

OK so please explain only 200 visits?

 

I think if you read the full post it clearly states the site is only on the 2-3rd page at the bottom. Thanks

 

I dont understand - why are you selling this if it is so easy to make it a goldmine?

 

Your title is completely misleading.
Your domain is not worth $500 forget $5000.

Nice try being a "great" sales person but what your asking for and the statistics you are giving are ridiculous.

 

Check the competition for the keywords I mentioned. Its very low but the top 3-4 are quite competitive. Having this domain gives a big edge and an opportunity to get the number 1 spot. Its over quarter of a million searches, you can presume 40% average click the top spot... Middle of the first page is easy.

I'm selling because I'm moving countries and need money to setup my new business. This project (lol-streams) will likely not create a good revenue for about 3-5 months. I need money in more like 1 month for my new project so I'm selling this as well as my cash cow to get a bulk sum to go towards what I need to start doing business in the UK. I've been living in Thailand for 4 years now.

 

Im quite surprised there is not more interest! Can somebody fault my maths here? The potential appears to be huge as far as I can see it. Can anyone point out any mistake in what I've said? A few years ago I did exactly the same as this... I put a site up for sale I think on this site but maybe sitepoint. I got offered 10,000 for it but a family friend strongly recommended I didn't take the money as it was already making about 1k per month almost so it was just 1 years takings and it was quite a new site... the site then went on to make me at least 30-40k per year for the next 4 years! My point being my ideas are always very well researched and they work. I'm not an online marketer I'm a business man who sets sites up to make a profit which is what I believe this one will also do but in this case I need money now and obviously this is a slight gamble as it's not fully marketed yet so nothing is 100% guaranteed but the maths certainly hit you in the face and I can't see any reason why this won't work. 5000 I thought was a fair price taking the gamble into account but I'm willing to listen to peoples offers, if not I'll keep this for myself.

 

Whats the name of the site making 30-40k a year?

 

www.wowtopia.net it's an old project that eventually got beaten by legalities, private world of warcraft server. I guess wayback machine it if you're curious

 

Before anyone reads: These are just my thoughts on the matter and should not be treated as absolute fact or truth.

I think your evaluation is wrong, no offense.

First of all, the keyword you're targeting are not that high value keywords. You have used GLOBAL search instead of EXACT MATCH search
when looking for keywords. The real searches for your keyword on Google are:

Lol stream - 90 500 searches
lol streams - 33 000 searches

Which isn't even half of what you predicted...

Secondly, $5000 for a website without sales, that is not geared towards buyer keywords. Sure, you got an almost exact match domain
but that doesn't matter much anymore in Google. A website is usually valuated at a 10 month profit from what it's making at the moment.
And with your website it would be $0 from profit + $100 for domain name and marketing efforts?

Sure, I think it's a really nice concept, but what's stopping anyone from creating a website like this themselves and then having
$4800 left to spend on marketing it to Google page #1? Because honestly, it wouldn't cost more than $200 to set it up yourself.

Also, I checked out the Google results and you're up against some serious competition with sites around 4k in Alexa rank and very well known. (twitch, own3d, solomid etc)
Ranking above them would require some serious marketing and patience. Getting past 5th place would be hard I think, and that doesn't
even guarantee much traffic. To get a return of the investment I would have to wait for years.
(Not trying to bring your thread down, just thinking out loud)

 

Ok so realistically, the 4th-5th spot is very possible in about 2 months. Then it should make enough to pay for marketing itself and then some to push it up further which certainly would take longer but I wouldn't imagine more than 6 months to get to number 2. If you look at the top site it's only page rank 2 but is highly content specific so beating the higher ranked sites below, ie it's spot on what people are searching for. The other sites below are not. My site is also very specific and relevant to the search.
I don't expect to get 5000 for this, not now, I thought people rarely got the BIN on auctions but it's there just in case

Also to emulate what I did theres the development costs, ie the site parser which parses the videos from specific sites, sorts them and then plays them along with ads on the next page as well as the marketing I've done and started to run again... Plus no matter what this site will be getting marketed either by me or whoever takes it over.

 

Please also read what I said about the keyword (might have updated it after you read it).

I'm not trying to take away the effort you put in to the site, it looks nice. But from a buyers perspective
I think you went a bit overkill in valuation. ^^

 

Turns out I'm way behind on my SEO! So all numbers can be halfed Still looks pretty attractive though wouldn't you say? As I said I'm open to offers and I will consider them. The reserve is set at 600 usd.

 

So any serious offers that you think I might consider? I'm deciding whether I need to start marketing on this and keep it or not...

 

Last attempt...

 

come on someone give me an offer... Realistically I know i won't have any time to spend on this and even if it's not worth what I originally thought it obviously has earning potential so give me an offer and I might just take it!

 

I don't know about you but exact match domains are helping me not with DASHES though that does not help the fact much. But even with dashes you can rank front page with some on site and off site SEO. Just rank it for the main keyword then sell it. Not that you will make $5,000 easy but you could make $600 for a good domain + front page ranking in Google for a large keyword.

 

A recent update (a month or two ago I think) made EMDs worth much less in terms of SEO value at Google. Not saying they don't have any value, just saying it's not as much. And EMD can still be worth a lot if it's for a competitive keyword.

 

Oh I know that.... Well I see that what people are saying on the web. My EMD are still ranking front page instantly without any off site seo for the main keyword and other keywords. So I don't see the punch that people are talking about when it says EMD are no longer helping. I don't think domain-name.com counts as an exact match for domain name keyword so that being said I just think that domains are still ranking good with Google and without much effort only content.

 

If I have to put in work i may as well sell it cause I dont want to work online anymore. How about deducting what you think it will cost to market to the front page and then making me an offer based on that if anyones interested. I really don't want to keep this site but if nobody buys im pretty much forced into spending time on it! lol
