ContentForContext.com For Sale - $100/month

Sale of ContentForContext - http://contentforcontext.com

Description: This site provides a collection of pre-built Adsense websites. You have probably seen something like this before. It is not a revolutionary new concept, however, I believe that this package of sites is better than the current offerings. (See sales letter for more details.)

Up for auction: You get the sales letter type website, domain name, website packages, and 30 days of hosting to give you time to transfer everything. You will get exclusive rights to the websites. After the sale, I will delete the backups off of my hard drive.

The site uses about 250 MB of space.

Just a note - I started this site over the summer and just didn't get to put the time into it. That's why it's up for sale now, after operating less than a month. (It should have launched in July.) I don't have time for it, and would
rather work on other projects.

Email lists: You'll see that the site offers a free test site to anyone who signs up. So far 24 people signed up for the test drive.

90 day guarantee: The sales letter offers a 90 day guarantee. Since the site just launched at the end of October, there is a chance some customers could request a refund. To simplify things, you will be responsible for any refunds, although you don't have to offer that guarantee to new customers. Just factor that into your bid.

Traffic: Had 1200 uniques in October, and 200 so far in November. Almost all of October's visitors were in the last week of the month.

Revenue: The package sells for $47 normally, and I made special offers to subscribers at $27. There have been 3 sales so far, for a total of $94. See PayPal screenshot for proof.

Other than selling the sites, you can make affiliate commissions from this site.
For example, look at the hosting page. It recommends hosts, and you can simply add your affiliate links to this page. Some hosts pay $100 per sale!

Advertising: Site was advertised on SitePoint forums, DP forums, and through Adwords. I put about $27 into some advertising for the site launch.


The domain is good till 8/31/2007. Registered at GoDaddy, free push.

Site listed on SitePoint and DP forums.

That's all I can think of at the moment. Any questions, just post them here.

Starting bid: $100

/Forgive me, I'm not trying to mess up your thread.
//If you are able to sell this for BIN=$1,100, I will need to revise my Original Vision.

 

Just to clear up any confusion, a $100 bid means $100.

If everyone request a refund after you buy the site, and $6 goes into hosting, and no sales are made ever again, then that sucks for you. It doesn't mean you get the site and domain for free!

 

Ok, since Thanksgiving is coming up and I'm in a good mood, I'll reduce the BIN to an even $1,000.

 

Starting bid is at a mere 3 weeks revenue...

 

Bidding started at $100 at SitePoint.

UPDATE: BIN lowered to just $750

 

Bid of $150 received at SitePoint.

For a site that took months of work to build and made $94 its first 3 weeks, that's a good deal.
