Selling Auto Insurance site for sale

ALEXA US TRAFFIC RANK 811,573

PR 2

I have an Auto Insurance website that I used Yahoo answers to generate income while I waited to get indexed in google for keywords. The site is ranking for keywords now that I have hand written all the articles on the site and did my own little on-page SEO. All the articles previously on there I had purchased from writers to write for me, from here on DP. Even though the articles were good, they werent generating traffic. So instead of paying for more of something that didnt get any return I gave in and wrote them myself.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME, the website I am trying to sell is not even listed on the website for sale link in my sig... at least not as I write this. Why I took the time to mention this now is because everytime I attempt to sell a site on here I see my traffic stats skyrocket from people trying to figure out what I am selling.

I do not give the name out of the GOOD domains when I sell them - because who really wants their info out like that. So . . .

If you are able and willing to pay through escrow, and you have good reputation from a similar sale on this forum then we can move forward.

 

Your site is generating 800.00 USD dollars a month, what makes your site your 32,000.00 Dollars exactly?

 

well besides basically owning Auto Insurance for the domain... I know it is not that big of a difference but I low balled the monthly revenue by like 300-400 dollars so when the buyer checks stats and proof of earnings then everything looks good to them. The site is under markteted. I own about 55 auto insurance sites, so I am kind of busy building them. I chose one of my best ones to sell because I would like to really sell it.

THE BIN is set that high because that is what I would like to receive if someone doesnt want to make an offer. I am willing to sell it for 10,000 dollars less then what the buy it now offer is, but the BIN is just the range I am looking for...

and also if you owned the domain name and have the site setup the way it is, I dont think you would sell it for less then that either

Well talk to you later !


PS - also since this is my REAL BUSINESS, you can view financial statistics over 5 years, and 5 years of making 800 dollars a month is 48,000

so if you can double the earnings I am doing when I am NOT DOING ANYTHING for the traffic, then you can make your money back in 2.5 years


Well anyways the table is open... but there is NO WAY i will sell for less than $25,000

 

What is source of revenue?

 

Affiliate revenue CPC and CPA

 

Then you need to find a fool

If I had $25k to invest, I could invest it in a number of different WTS on DP and get the money back in less than 1 year, not the 3 years you are offering.

 

thats fine but apparently you dont... or else you wouldnt have said "IF I HAD"

and then when YOU DO ! You will see that the way to make money on the interent is through Insurance ... good look, and thanks for you time !

PS I think you are mad because it is a .US domain LOL

 

The insurance site you guys are looking at from my sig link IS NOT the site for sale

 

Professional websites are meant to be sold at atleast 3 year income

 

Thanks for your posted support... I am glad some one else around here understands how websites are supposed to be bought and sold

 

That's a made up number, and has just about 0 relationship to reality.

Check pretty much anywhere. Websites that aren't brick and mortar business,but instead depend on SEO or internet marketing sell for 6-8 months revenue, not 2.5 times. The 2.5 times is used in brick and mortar businesses in some instances. And not even all. If you want a cold dose of reality, my accountant was telling me just this week that a business such as his (an accounting firm, successful, with worldwide clients) would sell for 1 years revenue. Not 2.5 years.

If you've got something else going on other than converting traffic into money then you can get far more than 6-8 months revenue. But that doesn't appear to be the case here.

The other thing you need to dispense with is the idea that 'potential' is worth anything to you. It's not. It's the potential that means someone will buy it - but they get to monetize that. You don't get to monetize 'potential' by suggesting your site is worth more because of potential. People just don't buy that stuff. You're saying if I do the work to increase revenue by $XX dollars, that you then get some cut of that in the sale price. I don't think so. You want to monetize the potential, go monetize it. Then add the increase into your stats. But nobody's going to pay you for that. You can ask, but nobody's going to pay.

If you make $800 a month, your site's worth a few grand. Not $10k, not by any stretch.

You don't have to like it, you can call it threadcrapping, or insert your unexperience opinion. But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. You'd be better off treating it as a dose of reality from someone who's sold sites for 10 times what you're asking. And time will bear me out - you won't be selling this site for even $5k.

 

yes, I understand where you are coming from. But honestly I would sell you partial domain name ownership for 5K.

LOL so you wouldnt even own the whole domain name

I agree there are multiple things that you must take into consideration, however I placed my amount of money maybe 5-7000 dollars from what I am willing to sell for.

But there is no way you will get me to sell all the content, work and hours placed into the website which is now not only a KICK ASS DOMAIN NAME but now a website. Look I have gotten it to where it is now, and I am NO GURU - 100% self taught - so the person that has the 20K to spend on the site has been around in the internet world longer then I have. Which can mean one of many things, but they will at least know other ways to market it. And if I am making 800-1200 dollars a month off of 60-110 clicks a month.... IT DOESNT TAKE A GURU TO MAKE YOUR MONEY BACK ! !

I own over 50 insurance sites, ALL WITH GREAT DOMAIN NAMES !

I own over 125 websites, that I am converting mostly to CMS systems - easeir to manage.

So in all the time it is taking me to build these sites by hand, I can afford to sell 1-5 of them before to hold me over. Thats what I am doing. TRUST ME the domain is already bought out for years... This time next year, I will be offering the same site for 85-135K, yes I know I will receive critics in that post too - but the new SP makertplace does not do it for me. And as you can see from my sig link once all my sites are finished you will see them in the TOP SIG LINK - LOL but for " A boat load of money " as Yahoo would say.

I am not trying to be rude... and I have bought great domain names for a REALLY LOW price in the DP forums... but there are just some you couldnt pay me enough to sell. I hope every one understands where I am coming from and please feel free to continue to leave comments
