Loan Network (dot) com

I am exploring selling the domain name and website. Please note the following information.

The domain name is approximately 9 years old
The existing website and associated business is less than 1 year old
The present page rank is 4
There are approximately 100k back links
The Website has generated an average of $3800 in revenue/per month over the past 3 months
Fixed expenses are approximately $ 1700 per month
GP is over 2k per month
Unique visitors presently range between 70-100 on weekdays and 30-50 on weekends
*Unique visitors are highly targeted quality traffic*


The website has over 300 pages of content and is optimized for both long and short tail organic traffic:

Below is a snapshot of the most recent google query for top 20 searches

Top search queries Average top position
1. mortgage quote 8
2. fha secure 8
3. low rate 5
4. mortgage quotes 6
5. low mortgage rates 8
6. fha mortgage rates 10
7. free mortgage quotes 4
8. compare rates from 7
9. low rate mortgage 3
10. low rates 5
11. low rate mortgages 4
12. fed lowers rates 4
13. compare free rate quotes 4
14. fed lowers rate 4
15. compare mortgage quotes 2
16. mortgage refinance 36
17. hawaii mortgage rates 9
18. "fha secure" 9
19. loan network 1
20. fha mortgage rate 9


A majority of traffic is related to google but the site also ranks fairly well for yahoo, msn & ask however this fluctuates more.

There has been a significant amount of time and money already spent to developing the site for organic search. For example try searching these terms in google:

* Refinance Quote (1st page)
* Chicago mortgage quote (1st page)
* California Mortgage Quote (1st page)
* Mortgage Refinance (3rd page and climbing)
* Refinance Rates (2 or 3rd page)

Site ranks extremely well for state + mortgage quote and is gaining traction for most major us city + mortgage quote search terms

The website requires 15-30 minutes per day of maintenance and an understanding of financial markets would be beneficial.

We have an excellent link bait strategy that will grow the sites seo and help to lower the expenses (this will only be disclosed to serious buyers)

A majority of present revenues are derived thru mortgage traffic. Industry average payouts for mortgage lead generation is $5-15 for purchase leads and $35-55 for refinance leads. The top paying affiliate companies would be lending tree, leadpoint, guidetolenders, lowermybills.com.

This site could potentially do very well in other finance verticals including: pay day loans, auto loans, student loans, credit cards, etc

Please note the following recent top financial and loan website sales include:

Myhomeloan.com $48.888
Moneylenders.com $75,000
Laon.com (typo) $500.000

I am looking for an offer in the low xxx,xxx range. I am basing this on existing revenue history, site development, previous seo work and POTENTIAL

If you are interested and have the working capital feel free to pm with questions.

Please note this is posted in multiple forums

If I do not receive a quality offer I may place this in the Feb Traffic auction or hold on to the site. I am selling to raise capital for other biz ventures.

Moniker will handle escrow


THANKS

 

According to your numbers your posting a $500 dollar monthly loss and your asking for six figures?

 

Revenue average is 3800 per month, Gross profit is over 2k per month, I will correct this if it seems vague..

 

$3800 per month with 70 unique visitors a day is really a great achievement.
Best of luck for the sale.

 

please PM me detailed traffic source details

 

Could you PM traffic stats please.

 

Thread is now closed...thanks!

 

70 unique seems like organic traffic. Do you also send any PPC traffic. I am referring to your cost.

 

Received some interest on this site recently and still would consider selling. Revenues are over 20k ytd and monthly expenses are now less than $500 per month. Further details available via pm.

I would encourage anyone with a serious interest to check out seodigger dot com and check the hundreds of keywords this site ranks well for..
