Primary Auction Listing: Site Point

Age of site (months): 13

Reason for sale:I am looking to expand my business and I would like to generate some startup cash for two new website projects.

Monthly revenue: $800 USD

Revenue details:
This website makes around $800 per month from google adsense advertisements.
Revenue details are provided below:

March Revenue

April Revenue

May Revenue

June Revenue

Revenue for April was reduced as between the 1st and 10th of April I experimented with different ad placements and programs other than adsense. I later reverted back to google adsense. This is the only reason that revenue was reduced for april, as you can see it went back to normal again in May.

Monthly page views:

Traffic details:
This website targets a good niche with 61.5 % of the traffic in May coming from search engines. Most search engine traffic comes Yahoo,MSN, and Google with referrals from other search engines such as Ask and Dogpile.

31.8 % of traffic has come from Direct address/Bookmarks and 6.5 % from links on other websites.

DMOZ.org
About.com

June Traffic (My stats were down on the 10th and 11th of June so inaccurate data is given for those dates. I will keep updating the screenshot so you get a more accurate view of the traffic. It's also worth mentioning there was an msn indexing problem that the website was affected by at the beginning of the month but this has now been resolved and you can see the website ranking number 1 in msn again.)

Description:
GospelSongLyrics.net is a website that serves lyrics for gospel music, hymns and other christian music. It is a really excellent niche to target and a lot more work can be done on the website. Over April I spoke with an seo consultant who suggested that addition of a blog could easily increase both traffic and revenue but I haven't had time to implement this. This could possibly be a good idea for the new owner if they wished to expand the website.
Unlike other lyrics websites you may see for sale this one provides lyrics available in the public domain.
I have made an effort to list lyrics on the website that have either been made available to the public domain or were written before 1922.
