Description: This is a herbal medicine site I created to run the affiliate program from nativeremedies.com (25% cut).

Design: Cutom, 100% CSS, no tables.

I developed this with SEO in mind, and you will be able to see that I took great care on each page to make good relevant content and use appropriate tags. (For example: Have a look on every page, there is a different "blurb" at the top of the page in a box, and the page's main KW is in a <h1>).

As a result, my traffic is almost all from SE's. In fact the only other source of traffic that I can think of would be from 1 article on Eczema that I submitted several months back.

Anyway, the site is doing great on MSN. It's #1 for many keywords, and on the first page for more. I even outrank nativeremedies.com check it out for yourself, there is a KW list in the attachment.

Traffic: Averaging about 500 visitors per month, 80-85% from MSN.

Revenue: In 3 and a half months, I have earned $217.81 USD in commissions (see attachment). I also get $3-4 of AdSense per month but it's not the main focus of the site.

For potential buyers: I think the domain is valuable because it contains the "herbal" KW, it's catchy, and also because it's a very old domain. This is a factor considered in SERP's at least in Google anyway.

You have my word that I have done nothing to try and get this site ranked in Google. You can see in the attachments that everything is MSN, and I didn't even do anything for that either. I think some one way links and deep linking will get you a lot of visitors from Google.

There are close to 400 keywords for which visitors ended up at my website. They are all related to the products that are on the site. I have only provided the top 10 KW in the attachments, but obviously for the winner I will provide the full list. You can then use this in your linking strategies.

Herbal Medicine is a great niche because the "natural" factor attracts a lot of people.

The team at NativeRemedies always send out special promos and such that should be used to boost sales, but I've never had the time to do it. I do recommend the site for somebody that will put the time and effort into the linking strategy side as the base has already been built and working well.

I know people hate sites being sold on "potential" but I think it's easy to see that this one clearly does have potential.

Winner will need to: Set up an account at MyAffiliateProgram.com and have a PayPal account for the commission payments. Request a domain name transfer because my registrar doesn't have a "push" function (Namesecure.com). And finally, transfer the website to your own server, or if need be I can provide hosting for a fee.

Starting Bid: $700
BIN: $1400
Payment Options: PayPal, NETeller, MoneyBookers

Questions: Always welcome!

Thanks!

 

Starting Bid and BIN lowered. Now at 700/1400

 

is content unique????

 

I went through each page of the NativeRemedies.com product page, and used the facts/points to write my own content. This is with permission from them as well (as are the images). You can see the credit at the bottom which they have asked me to place in return.

I would consider it unique. If you like, check out a page and the corresponding page on the merchant site to compare.

 

Is this a dropped domain that was picked up?

 

That's a tough one, I have hundreds of domains.

My gut feeling would be I picked it up myself because it's at the registrar that doesn't allow pushing of names so I would have had to request a transfer which I don't recall doing.

 

Less than a week to XMAS, this site needs to go. Lowering to $600 it's priced to sell!
