CardPreviews.com - Credit card site

Hello,

I am looking to sell CardPreviews.com. The site comes with the pages you see, as well as an custom admin page that lets you add, remove or edit cards. I have not promoted the site at all since starting it back in February sometime. I have no traffic stats. Since February I've only earned about $300+ from the site.

It is indexed by the big three. Some example search terms still doing well are:

marathon credit card - page 1 Yahoo
jeep visa rewards - page 2 MSN
citi dividend credit card - page 2 MSN
credit card previews - page 1 MSN

The content for the site is all driven from a MySQL database I built. So using the above custom admin page you can add more cards to the database, or change and delete cards. In the database, most the cards are already categorized in the following:

Cash Back
Airline
Business
Student
Poor Credit
Travel
Reward
General
Auto
Gas
Entertainment

But as you can see on the site, I have not fully developed sections to view cards by these categories. That can easily be done by the new owner if you know a little Perl.

The new owner would also need to join the affiliate program associated with the site, or you could use any other programs as well. The site admin tool allows you to add any type of cards from any programs as long as they have an image, and link and some text.

Some of the current site data is out of date. It would need to be reviewed and updated based on the affiliates current promotions for the various cards.

Lastly, I have never sold a site before and don't quite know how to transfer the domain over to someone else without incurring great expense (Register.com appears to charge $200 to transer a domain to a new owner!) Does anyone know more about this topic? Is there a cheaper way to transer domains? Please note, the new owner will incur the expense of the domain transfer on top of the bid price. So if you have any alternative solutions to avoid the $200 Register.com fee I am open to suggestions. There has to be a cheaper way that I just don't know about yet.

I'm looking to sell for at least what it made this year (~$300). Please consider that as a baseline for any offers if you are interested. One more note, the domain is registered through 2007.

As for offers... I will take the best offer I receive by Sunday night (Aug. 21st) that meets or exceeds my baseline price. Please either post or PM me.

Thanks!

 

Does look like the 'main' page is indexed by google: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=CardPreviews.com&btnG=Search&meta=

The reason I even checked was that it showed grey PR

 

Escrow.com and Sedo.com have cheaper options. I recently bought a domain through sedo, was about $50 in transfer fees total. You can either split the transaction fees, or have one person pay it all.

Mine was a little trickier, since the seller was in France, and I'm in the U.S. You can probably do it cheaper if buyers/sellers are in the US.

 

Thanks for the advice Sharpseo. I will look into using those sites.
