Description:
A long running fansite for Clint Eastwood's new film, FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS. Also promotes and discusses the upcoming Japanese version of the film titled LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA which is now the BEST RATED war film ever and has also been selected as the BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR according to the National Board of Review. The best part? The film will be released NEXT WEEK (Jan. 12) to a nation wide audience! Check out the buzz this film is getting: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/letters_from_iwo_jima/

Take advantage of the buzz and the "afterlife" this film will get. I've been running movie fansites for a very long time. Even if a movie flops, it has tremendous after life and the income is STEADY. Case in point, take a look at my ALAMO fansite at: www.thealamofilm.com. This film was one of the most disasterous flops ever by a major studio and yet, every year, adsense revenue increases for me. That site makes me about 4K a year for doing nothing because there's NO competition. "Flags" can make you that, or more with very little work, if any, because again, no competition. Why go after those high paying keywords that everyone else is doing?

Revenue Details:
This site made $1338 in OCTOBER 2006 when "Flags of our Fathers" was released!! What will "Letters from Iwo Jima" make ??

Note: Since I have my Amazon ID associated with other fansites, I do not know exactly how much "Flags" makes in Amazon earnings. It does sell quite a bit of products, but I don't have an exact figure. Sorry! In this case, I won't count it towards the site price.

Traffic Details:
#1 referrals are Organic. 90% come from Google. The rest from AOL, IMDB, forums, blogs, etc.
Site is #2 in GOOGLE. I haven't checked the other search engines.

BIN: 5000

 

How labor intensive is the site?

Is the forum included with it?

 

"Letters from Iwo Jima" has now received BEST FILM OF 2006 beating out EVERY other film of the year! See: http://www.nbrmp.org/awards/awards.cfm?award=Best Film

USATODAY calls 'Letters' "one of the great war films of our era". Hummm maybe I should keep this site...

 

Can you post or send me revenue stats. Thanks

 

If you take a look at the site, it's built out of wordpress. i in November, I think I just added one post Maybe 1-2 more in December, etc.

Just write a few lines of text and then you're done.

 

Sure, in a little bit. Eating

 

Please let me know if you want me to upload the entire adsense report from August - November 2006. I did not include December because it was the Christmas holidays and the numbers are usually inflated falsely.

Here are earnings:

 

Aw damn, the thumbnail doesn't enlarge??

 

Tiny picture. impossible to read. perhaps get a 800 x 600 size pic or bigger.

 

How about January adsense and referrers? I'd like to see those.

 

I did upload a big picture, but the thumbnailer on this site makes them smaller. Is this normal?

 

perhaps you should use something like photobucket.com

It's against TOS to display all the information on the adsense report. I would take that down, or atleast block out unneeded info.

BTW, that's a lot of clicks to be earning so low of an amount. You should give CPA networks a try...if you dont sale.

 

Shows as PR4 on mine. How much are you asking?

 

It's definitely a PR5.

I'm asking for BIN 5000 because you will easily make it back within a year. However, just cuz it's a BIN doesn't mean that's the final price.

 

Getting some interest sitepoint so I'd thought I'd lower the BIN to 4500. Thanks.

 

For that many clicks you should be making 200 times what you are now. How much do you make per click on averge. $0.008?

 

I have no idea. I never focused on that. I just put the site up. Maybe someone else will have better earnings. However, all of my other sites are about the same--maybe I've been smart priced around all of my sites?

Note: I"ve attached revenue proof from June 2006 - Nov2006.

 

Reality is your site's real value is $1200. That's it.
A more realistic BIN would be $2000 but I doubt anyone will buy it for that much.
