    abned.com

    THE STORY:

    Built, custom designed and operated by us since Fall 2011,

    As mentioned above, a good chunk of our clients are being introduced to us through referral and local advertising. Initially, website was built for informational purposes only. Moving forward, our goal was not to attract clientele from the web due to various reasons that we can disclose in private, we had decided to begin monetizing with AdSense PPC program.

    The design of abned.com is 100% custom made (Not a commercial template).

    Platform: Wordpress

    The site is easily customizable (intermediate html, java script knowledge is required).

    All content is 100% unique.

    Basic SEO was performed for brand awareness reasons.

    Traffic source:

    99% of the traffic is coming from Twitter. As mentioned above, we've been specializing in social media marketing for many years and been able to successfully drive hundreds of thousands of returning visitors to our own and clients sites/blogs. We use a unique strategy to continually engage our followers to visit our promotional links as well as build us secure and stable source of revenue by clicking on sponsored ads.

    On average the site welcomes around 61k+ visits monthly. (Please see attached Awstats). The potential of this blog is enormous! The increase in traffic is easily manageable.

    On average the site is earning $4.5k-5k however, the revenue could be increased by increasing the volume of the monthly visitors.

    The site maintains a low CTR of around 2-4% with CPC averaging to $2.10 per click. Nothing out of ordinary, great content = targeted ads = higher CTR.

    Expenses:

    The cost per 1,000 visitors is $10. The keep the traffic flow steady, a buyer would be looking to spend $100 monthly in order to generate an average of $4,500-$5,000 USD monthly.

    IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ!!!

    FAQS:



    Q. I was wondering if you offer traffic services? I have an adsense site, would your traffic work on my site?

    A. No, we do not offer stand alone traffic service to the general public.

    Q. Can you provide verified google analytics reports.

    A. No, we don't use google analytics for various important reasons. 1.Google analytics discounts some 35% of the incoming traffic, making the final reports inaccurate. Instead, we use AWSTATS reports. This is by far the accurate method to accurately track statistics. Also, if the page doesn't quite finish loading before the user clicks on any link within the page, the visit will not be recorded. Additionally, for safety reasons a few internet users have JavaScript disabled on their browser. If that is the case, the visitor will be invisible to Google Analytics.

    Google Analytics

    The method that Google uses to collect visitor data is through the insertion of a small piece of JavaScript code into the code on every page of your site.

    You get the code from Google Analytics and you place the code. Do it wrong, and your stats will be wrong. Place it at the top of the page and you may get different stats from having it on the bottom of the page.

    When that code runs, it collects data from the visitor and records it into the database. Beyond just tracking how many visitors find the site, Analytics also tracks where those visitors come from, how they found the site, how long they stay, and a whole lot more.

    The positive side of this approach is that Google can obtain more detailed information about user activities and trends. The reports produced by Google Analytics can be incredibly helpful in planning the marketing strategy of the site as a whole.

    The downside comes in with using JavaScript to collect the data.

    • For one, if the page doesn’t quite finish loading before the user clicks on something else, the visit will not be recorded.
    • Additionally, for safety reasons a few internet users have JavaScript disabled on their browser. If that is the case, the visitor will be invisible to Google Analytics.
    AWStats

    The statistics collected by AWStats are obtained by a different method than Google Analytics.

    Rather than inserting a script into the code on each page, AWStats uses server logs to identify visits. By tracking each time the server displays a page to a visitor, AWStats can count a total number of visits without directly accessing the visitor’s computer. It compares the IP addresses of all of the visits in order to not count the same visit more than once.

    This is a good approach because it will catch everyone that comes through the site, regardless of whether they allow scripts to run or not.

    Q. Can you verify adsense earnings.

    A. No, we cannot. There is some sort of glitch occurs upon every attempt to verify the earnings. After many unsuccessful attempts, we've decided to offer verification via your own adsense code. We'll gladly place your own adsense code on the website upon request. (Serious parties should contact us via PM). In fact, this method is by far more accurate and reliable approach to track live data.

    Q. Who do we purchase the Twitter traffic from?

    A. Upon success of the transaction, you will be dealing directly with us. We're the supplier of the traffic.

    Q. Would we be willing to sell Adsense account along with the site.

    A. No, we would not. This is illegal.

    Q. Would a new owner be required to constantly update the site with fresh content?

    A. Absolutely! Updating the site with 1-2 unique articles per week should be sufficient enough to keep readers interested. The average cost per 500-600 words article is roughly $8-12. Odesk.com is a great source for finding quality writers.

    These are the most common questions we've received during our past auctions. Please refrain from making public comments or contacting us via PM, if your question has already been answered above.

    Testimonials from our existing clients could be provided upon request.

    We're going be traveling august 1st-August 4th, there is going to be no support during these dates. Apologies.

    We're in process promoting the site over the web, so organic traffic should be expected within the next few months.

    For some reason we're unable to upload adsense and statistics reports. Those will be provided to interested parties over email.

    Happy Bidding :)


    Folks, digitalpoint had registered the location of origin as Ukraine. Just so we're all on the same page, I'm currently on a business travel in Ukraine :) Our firm is registered and resides in Brooklyn, NY. Corporate information and telephone number could be provided upon request.

    Thanks :)

    In 2007 the site was about skin and body care
    In early 2011 it was parked.
    In late 2011 it was about prom dresses.
    In mid 2013 it was parked.
    In late 2013 it was about bathroom fixtures.

    People who look for high cost online business are not children so you should revamp your scam plans.

    hmm..really? I'm sorry but if you consider alexa.com an indicator, than instead of posting trash consider taking an SEO crash course.Moreover, if you can provide a legitimate proof about us attempting to pull a scam, please feel free to share it with the rest of us. On monday I will submit supporting documentation.

    best of luck buddy

    Does the sale include the skype account?
    How hard is it to edit the site given that it doesn't use a known cms? Can multiple people log on to the backend to make changes or is there only one admin account?
    Will the virtual office address in NY be available for the buyer?

    In your blog you state
    how has the name "abned" shaped this business and will that influence dictate how the buyer operates?

    Alright, this is being addressed to the keyboard happy individuals. Before making remaks of any kind, consider several important factors that some we masters implement for variety of reasons.

    Waybackmahine bots aren't capable of crawling sites if a webmasters decides to redirect ot block most incoming bots. This process removes the extra load from the server as well as blocks third party companies from companies from collecting data.

    Before making false accusations, make sure you know what you're talking about.

    Feel free to test drive the site.references from existing clients are available upon request.

    I'd say, "Master".
    Redirecting bot traffic(waybackmachine) to a different web design to trick it while keeping the url address the same while the real traffic sees the real web design on that same url address.
    That's one hell of a move. All your site is missing is a magic broomstick!

    Zero web knowledge :D I think you should ask yourself if you have any knowledge yourself, Your trying to sell a website which is huge scam which is why it was removed from flippa and still hasn't sold
    and not only that where is the proof why haven't you uploaded analytics yet or showed us awstats! You keep giving excuses and you are trying to scam good people into buying you site...

    The only thing you site has going for it is its age and the site design all and all its worth $200-$400 but good luck with the $30,000 my friend might take a few years but good luck :D
