Cruise travel site for sale

    I've only owned this site for a few months. It's the first site I ever purchased and I bought just to play around with it. It has nothing to do with the other sites I'm developing, so I've decided to sell it. It's the travel site in my sig.

    When I bought it there was no traffic, but I created a sitemap and submitted it to a few directories. There's still very little traffic, but I did get it indexed in Google, so I made a little progress on that. There's still a whole bunch that should be done. Consider there to be no traffic or revenue for purposes of this auction.

    It has an admin area for updates and mods. There is an RSS feed for updated articles related to cruising. The domain is registered at namecheap so free push to namecheap accounts. I will send you a zip with all of the files. There is a readme included with instructions.

    There's probably more I should say, but I don't know what is it right now. Please ask any questions and I'll try to answer. This is my first sale, so I'm not sure about the whole auction thing. I guess I'll post the end time very soon. Not sure about a BIN right now. I'll post that soon too.

    I'll accept payment by paypal only. I don't have any other accounts that I can accept payment through.

    Opening bid - 5.00
    bid increments of 1.00

    Thanks,
    jhoward

    Is the content unique?

    Or are all articles from free content soruces?

    Apparently not. :) That's not something I even knew to check out before I bought it.

    copyscape isn't accurate
    Google, Yahoo and MSN your articles and you'll find if your articles are original or not.

    smileysteve - new site so no real traffic or revenue to speak of. The most it's gotten is the past few days when I posted it for sale here. I purchased it a couple of months ago as a new site. I uploaded a sitemap, got it indexed, and added it to a few paid directories, but haven't done any SEO on it. That's one area I'm still learning.

    thetruth - not this site unless someone is advertising it without owning it. Please post the auction the next time you see it so I can contact the seller. As far as I know, it's not been advertised after I purchased it.

    As I said above, this is a very new site. I bought it on a whim. It was my first site and I did so just to get my feet wet. I'm not really interested in travel sites and don't have anything that compliments it, so I decided to sell it.

    Hi steve,
    Thanks for the bid.

    I've got one by pm of 20 if I can help them change the rss feeds. I'm looking into the that right now as I'm not sure.

    remember the bin is just 25.

    Thanks,
    jhoward
