This is a rare and useful site that in the right hands could provide infinite value
Domain Expires in September 2013 (see whois => https://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=onlinereservationbooking.com&prog_id=GoDaddy).

According to Google Keyword Tool, the search phrase "online reservation booking" gets 1,830,000 searches monthly (see screenshot below) and gets $2.62 Average CPC so it's definitely an Google Adsense winner.

I'm selling because I'm focused on other projects and site isn't my top priority.

How long has it been active?
Do you get any traffic and did you earn anything so far?

 

The site hasn't been officially pushed outside of getting other DPers to review it in regards to design. So traffic or earnings waiting for new owner to take site and market it.

 

Just wanted to give a basic idea of how much the site has earned. $0.73 in a few days since finishing development and no marketing. Imagine if you actually market the site.

 

A few questions...

1. why are you selling?
2. what's the deal with the $250 visa gift card offer?
3. what is the typical search payout for travelgrove?

 

To answer your questions:

1) As mentioned in the "What are you getting" section of the auction description I'm selling:
- onlinereservationbooking.com (2 year old domain)
- onlinereservationbooking.com Wordpress files and databases
- Free traffic sources pdf that generate thousands of quality traffic ($47 Value)

2) The $250 Visa Gift Card offer was a special promotion I was going to push before I decided to sell the site. It can be removed if new owner doesn't want to do the promotion.

3) It depends on how many searches you generate. You can see in the screenshots the program details.

Hopefully this answers your questions.

UPDATE!!!

I'm including a Facebook Fanpage for the site in the sale. No fans as of yet but will save you time in having to set one up for the site.

​

Also there is 17 hours left in the auction so place you bids now! Also BIN is set at $47 per my previous post so with current high bid at $30 it maybe smart to lock up the sale now before more bids are placed higher.

 

Will it be all set up for the new owner ? affiliation etc?

 

Yes I'll set up everything for new owner except for the affiliate program ... the new owner will have to sign up for that themselves. Don't worry it's easy to do and you're instantly accepted.
