Banner & Logo Design Service (PR5)

    Site: http://www.banner-spot.com
    PageRank: 5

    It's a banner and logo design service i bought here a few months ago but just like the previous owner, i lost interest, so i decided to sell this great piece! :)

    The site has a good portfolio and a very good reputation with a lot of happy (returning) customers.

    I tweaked the site and i'm getting a good 2% conversion ratio for all traffic including adwords campaigns.

    Most of the customers come from webmaster forums and word of mouth but also from Search Engines and other referring sites.
    The most popular things i was selling were banners but i did also other artwork on request.


    I did most of the work myself but during busy weeks i worked together with a freelance designer. I payed him around 30% of actual sale price and he was happy with this. The designer wants to keep working for the new owner so his contact details will be transfered with the sale.

    I tried 1 campaign with adwords too for a week and it was very succesful!
    So along with the sale i'll include all the keywords and keyphrases i used with adwords.

    I placed a few adsense ads on the pages and the CPC is very good (around $0.20 per click sometimes less, sometimes more).
    Around 20 links that you see in the footer are sold text links and they can be removed on the end of december.

    Site is hosted at trunkspacehosting.com (very cheap, very good uptime!) and domain is registered there too.

    Here are some screenshots:
    Traffic: http://www.banner-spot.com/stats.JPG
    Paypal Income: http://www.banner-spot.com/income.JPG ($225 NET income during October and $296 NET income during November).

    Please note that i dropped the whole site and rejected all jobs starting from end of november so there was no revenue the last few weeks (i was working on a new site during that time :D ).

    The current banner prices are still under the normal market prices so you can still raise them is you want (i kept them like that because i was pricing under the competition and the customers seemed to like it ;))

    I'm going to give the buyer all the details and instructions to grow the business after the sale.
    If you can keep up with the workload and you're willing to put effort into this business, you can easily make anywhere between $500 and $1000+ a month.


    Starting bid: $1000
    BIN: $3000

    Payment by Xoom.com or Wire/Transfer

    Feel free to post your questions. :)
    Oh i almost forgot, there is also a DigitalPoint member account that i will transfer too (if that's allowed).

    Thanks for the bid adill420!

    renew1234, the banners are made using popular graphic software tools like Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, etc.
    It's really easy to make them if you know how to work with your tools.
    Normally it takes around 10-15 minutes to create 1 banner. Sometimes the customers provide you with all the artwork such as logo, fonts, graphics, etc and then it's really easy to create a banner because it only takes a few minutes.

    I will pm you my msn messenger along with the referrer screenshot in a few minutes. :)
