Established PR4 Autoblog, $200 Revenue, Bids Start at $1

This your chance to own a highly profitable, absolutely zero maintenance self-updating autoblog.

It is a political blog about the Ron Paul 2008 presidential campaign.
You can view the site here.

Why Ron Paul?
Two reasons. If you've watched the news at all, you will know that Ron Paul is extremely popular on the Internet. He gets a ton of searches and is the most searched for Presidential candidate. If you read on Wikipedia about his presidential campaign, you will see that the first section is Internet Popularity. This means a lot of traffic and a lot of demand.

The Digg Backdoor
Second, Ron Paul has a lot of fans on the Internet who will link to stories about him, and Digg and stumble them. Pretty much anything about Ron Paul on Digg or reddit will get a ton of votes. Don't believe me? Try it out. Pick any post on the Ron Paul blog sold here and submit it to Digg or reddit. Check how many votes it gets in just a few hours. I bet you it will be plenty.

In fact, two times I have submitted RonPaulFan to Digg it has hit the front page. I did not submit to Digg much after that because my server can't handle the surge in traffic, but trust me, it's very easy to get any Ron Paul story to the front page of Digg. This is like having a secret back door to Digg that will boost your submissions to the front page for you whenever you want!

Completely Automated, But Not Spammy
The blog is a completely automated turnkey system. It pulls Ron Paul related feeds from quite a few Ron Paul and political blogs. However, it is not spammy or infringing- all of these blogs want to promote Ron Paul, so they are happy to have their content syndicated, in fact many have written to me asking me to put their posts on the blog.

Uniquely established in its niche.
The reason the blog is a strong PR4 is because it is heavily linked to inside its
niche. It is ranked 54 in authority by Technorati and is on the blogrolls of dozens of Ron Paul, Republican, and Libertarian blogs. In fact, every single blog listed in the blogroll has linked to the site in its blogroll. Not bad for an autoblog, huh?

The Traffic:
The blog averages around 300 uniques a day. So far in December, there have
been 7,708 uniques and 12,441 pageviews.

The Revenue:
The revenue comes from AdSense and private link sales. In November I sold lifetime sidebar links on the blog through a thread right here on DP. Total revenue was $190.
Here is a screenshot of my PayPal earnings from link sales in November:

I did not have the time to manage or promote any link sales in December. I'm selling this blog because I need fast cash and don't have any time at all to run it.

The blog also earns revenue from Google AdSense. The theme is a custom theme that is highly AdSense-optimized. AdSense revenue averages around $20 a month.

You can see the links that have been sold under "Friends" in the right sidebar on the blog, and check my iTrader for positive feedback from these link sales. Every time that thread gets bumped by somebody I get more requests to buy links. You will easily be able to sell more links just by posting on DP or elsewhere.

Technical:
The blog runs Wordpress with a custom theme and is powered by Feedwordpress, the fastest and most robust autoblogging platform available.

You Get All This:

• The domain, registered at Namecheap and pushed free to your account.
• All content, including over 1,000 published posts and other pages.
• The email address
• All site files including the custom header and custom AdSense-optimized theme
• Free transfer or free hosting - I will either transfer all files to your server for you or let you keep them on my fast VPS for up to 1 month until you find hosting.

Auction Details:
I want to give you guys a Christmas Present, so I will start the bidding at only $1. The minimum bid increment will be $10. So the first bid will be $1, the next bid $11, etc. BIN is currently set at $1,800. I do have a reserve in mind, but it is quite low.
