BeBodyBuilding.com - PR2 BodyBuilding Blog, unique content, $2-3/month revenue

Discussion in 'Sites' started by ados67, Jun 2, 2007.

    Website: http://beBodybuilding.com (PR2)

    What is it: It's a useful bodybuilding blog that already has over 30
    unique posts that were handwritten by its former owner. These articles are
    exclusive to the website, and you will have 100% ownership rights of these
    articles if you win this auction. The articles range from basic bodybuilding
    tips to pre-made workout routines that I have made.

    How does it make money: Unlike most of those "cookie-cutter" websites, this
    website has actually made over $75.00 on Google Adsense in the past, when
    it was frequently updated (Note: I have no revenue proof from the former
    owner). You will be able to use custom adsense design, which has a very
    effective click-through rate of around 10%. As you know, most websites get around
    2-3% CTR.

    Why am I selling it? The fact is the website has not reached its full potential
    because it hasn't been updated properly in the last few months, as you can
    see. In it's heyday, it had PR4, and made around $5-10 a month. Right now,
    it makes a $2-3 a month because I haven't done much promotion.

    It would probably make more if the ads were targeted (I don't know about
    you, but I'm not seeing any bodybuilding adsense ads in there now, only
    ones about MS office tools and such).

    With just some website promotion such as SEO optimization, link trading, and
    etc, you can easily make a steady stream of income. I would recommend
    the new website owner to add more bodybuilding articles; just in case you
    don't know much about weightlifting or bodybuilding. The former owner is
    willing to write a quick guide for you on how to obtain free bodybuilding
    material, if interested, so you can run the site even if you don't know much
    about the field.

    Note: Although it will help to have experience with weightlifting/bodybuilding,
    it is not necessary to have bodybuilding knowledge or experience to
    successfully run this website.

    How much does it cost to run this website? This is maybe one of the most
    low-cost websites to host and operate because the entire website is
    hosted on Google's Blogger.com sevrer for absolutely free
    . The only cost
    is renewing the domain name (which costs around $8-10 a year), however,
    I have already renewed the domain name until April 2008, so you will
    not have to pay anything for a while.

    How much money should I expect to make with this website? I'll be honest,
    it depends a lot on how much work you're willing to put into this website,
    you know how blogs are :)

    Starting bid: $35
    Buy it Now: $75

    I thought it was ok as long as there is some sort of separation between the ads and the pictures? Correct me if I am wrong.

    That's the way the former owner chose to place the ads. The new owner is welcome to seperate it with a line or contact google for approval etc. - let's stay focused though, anyone interested in bidding?

    Thanks Kokopelli :)

    I'm looking to sell soon enough, so the auction will probably be over in 48 hours, or less.

    Hoping to sell in less than 24 hours, will end the auction if I get a reasonable BIN offer!

    BIN lowerred to $65.

    You can delete the 2006 section, and just grab the articles from there (before deleting it :D) and post them as new articles, once a week, so you'll have fresh articles for the next several months, without having to do any work!

    I wanted more than $35, true - but you never responded to my offer. If you would have mentioned your bid at $35 stands, I wouldn't have posted this. That's why I said "not responding" - I never said you backed out.

    PMing you now, thanks again for your bid :)

    Kokopelli - if you go online in the next couple of hours or so, I'll sell to you for $35 (if you can send them to my paypal asap)

    Still for sale, I have an interested DP user wanting to grab it for $37, but he has yet to decide - so it's still up for grabs, first person to post BIN gets it.
