Football news website with 100,000 Unique Visitors monthly

Discussion in 'Sites' started by fazmufc, May 25, 2006.

    URL: www.thesoccerforum.net

    Reason for sale: I have got a couple of busy months coming up with other projects and no longer have the time to run the website. Although i can help you out if you need tips or advice on part of the website if purchased.

    Age of site (months): 7 months

    Monthly revenue: N/A

    Revenue details:
    I have currently google adverts placed on three websites which all are calculated to my account. I am not sure how much TSF make but i can be sure at least $1,000 a month can be made with the website through such Adsense and getting people to place to links on the website which you charge for.

    With this being a website with such big traffic and good page rank, then its easy to get people to place links for a charge of at least $30 and banners of $200 on a monthly charge. There is plenty of cash to be made just through the traffic alone.

    Traffic details:
    We get from 90,000 -100,000 unique visitors monthly. The hits come from our advertisers where if we submit say 5 articles a day which takes about 5-10 minutes, this gets hits in. We dont have any article writers as i produced the articles myself but it only ever took me at most 15 minutes a day to produce. I can show easy methods in doing this, so basically updating the content is the main way the traffic comes in.

    Here are some stats
    http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/fazmufc/tsf.jpg We moved servers in the middle of march, so we lost the hits from the previous months.

    http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/fazmufc/tsfaprilhits.jpg - April hits
    http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/fazmufc/tsfmay.jpg - May Hits
    http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/fazmufc/maycountriesref.jpg - May Geo location hits

    If your a serious buyer i will release more information concerning the stats.

    Description:
    The website is a news content based website where numerous people come to visit the site to read the latest football stories. We have a comments section available so people can reply and talk about the articles. We use wordpress and its easy to setup.


    Type of site:
    Established and functional website with traffic

    Price (or starting bid):

    The starting bid for the website is at $8,000 as i have no clear idea about the revenue details. But believe me this site can easily make $2k a month with the silly traffic it gets.

    I have not set a BIN but i would sell if a big offer came in. I might set a BIN later on though.

    Google page rank: 4

    Alexa site rank: 120,000

    For everyone who are serious bidders and are seriously interested in the site please pm for the stats and other questions you may have. Thank You

    You can easily setup an Adsense channel in a few sec, i dont understand why you didnt do it before listing your site for sale without any income proof.

    Well i am from Birmingham, but dont work for them.

    The forum we no longer have with the website as we have decided to have a comments feed so people dont have to register to make suggestions on football matters. We get a good discussion this way.

    Well we have 5-10 articles produced every day (Dont take more then 15-20mins ) and the football world is something where it works best as there a lot of websites around. People come back and new people come to check the website via the links built up we have setup and network affiliation.

    Trust me this site is worth investing it, even if you decide to change the website around and use another software so fastclick and casalemedia can be used, the potential would be really high.

    He gets the traffic from posting his articles into other sites with high traffic. If you are going to buy this site you would need to continue writing this articles other wise the traffic is going to decrease. Correct?

    Yeah thats correct you will need to produce articles on a regular basis but i honestly can tell you it dont take more then 15-20mins daily. I can show easy methods on how to produce articles if your seriously interested in the website.

    Just look at the amount of traffic you get if just one person writes the articles, like i have been doing. If you decide to hire someone or work alongside someone, you can double the amount of hits you get. The traffic is unlimited on the website.

    Yeah il gather that stats tonight and send them to you as soon as there uploaded.

    This site has so much potential, even if the blog system was changed to a news website. There is much that can be done, if you get more then one writer you can pretty much double the hits and share the profits.

    If anymore questions, please PM as i have got a lot of positive feedback.

    We have gone down on the hits as we havent submitted any articles today, we are looking to find another server to move our database as there is problems with the current servers mysql.

    The google ads i have explained at the the top but give me a pm if you would like the revenue information of the three websites together.
