[SELL]Network of Amazon referral websites (Online Shops) - $50/month+ Revenue!

Discussion in 'Sites' started by Ash, Apr 13, 2007.

  1. #1
    Hello all,
    I am selling a network of websites that generate money using the Amazon referral programmes. The network includes 4 main websites. Each website has thousands of pages indexed in Google and uses an AoM script (value of over $100 on its own) to automatically update the website with new items from the Amazon stores.

    The websites in this network that are for sale include:

    http://www.nintendoshop.net – Amazon.com Referral Shop.
    http://www.nintendo-shop.co.uk – Amazon.co.uk Referral Shop.
    http://www.windowsvistadeals.com – Amazon.com Referral Shop.
    http://uk.windowsvistadeals.com – Amazon.co.uk Referral Shop
    http://www.laptopstock.co.uk – Amazon.com Referral Shop.
    http://www.laptopstock.co.uk/index.php – Old version of the same website… comes with a unique design, a CMS (with lots of modifications to improve it) and lots of news and content.

    Starting Bid: $400
    BIN: $1100
    Payment: Prefer PayPal (PM me if you would like to use another method).

    From within the websites you will get your own Admin Control Panel from where you can customize virtually everything you like. You can change the design, the pages, the content, the links, banners, colours, ads, the items that will appear and most importantly you can choose what country and currency you want your items to appear in. For example, I use the currencies GBP and USD on my shops, but you can use any other currencies you like (as long as Amazon accepts them).

    The websites require virtually NO WORK. I spend no time at all on any of the websites and they all generate revenue automatically. Obviously, for those who take the time and put in more effort (such as changing the design, adding more content/pages or improving the websites ranking for search engines) your revenue and traffic will likewise also increase. But you can at least be safely assured that even if you don’t work on your websites at all, you will still generate revenue every month.

    Amazon Referral Program – How it works?
    The Amazon referral program works by placing your own ‘affiliate-id’ when linking to pages in the Amazon website. Your ‘affiliate-id’ can easily automatically replace my Amazon ID via the admin control panel. When a user clicks on a link using your affiliate-ID, Amazon stores a cookie on their computer.

    The cookie lasts for 24 hours and anything the user buys from Amazon within 24 hours will get you 4-10% of revenue on the item(s) sold.

    Revenue
    The website generates revenue in 2 ways. The main way is of course through Amazon referrals. The second way is simply through Chitika advertisements, which can be replaced with Google Adsense or Yahoo! ads (or whatever suits you best). As you will see, every month revenue is dramatically increasing.

    January 2007 Revenue

    NintendoShop.net - $3.20
    Nintendo-Shop.co.uk - $1
    LaptopStock.co.uk - $1

    Total January Revenue: $5.20

    February 2007 Revenue

    NintendoShop.net - $8.47
    Nintendo-Shop.co.uk - $1.62
    LaptopStock.co.uk - $1.82

    Total February Revenue: $11.91

    March 2007 Revenue

    NintendoShop.net - $25.09
    Nintendo-Shop.co.uk - $7.72
    LaptopStock.co.uk - $8.30
    WindowsVistaDeals.com - $8.80

    Total March Revenue: $49.91

    As you can see, each month, revenue has dramatically increased (as well as traffic). At this rate I predict that April will have the same, if not more revenue then last month. All revenue generated above was done with virtually no work at all and has been all automated revenue.

    If you take more time to work on the website I can almost guarantee that revenue and traffic will be even higher.

    Traffic

    I spent NO money at all on buying links or on generating traffic. Almost ALL traffic comes from search engines (natural listings) such as Google, Yahoo and MSN.

    NintendoShop.net
    January – 1,021 page views and 324 unique visitors.
    February – 1,877 page views and 800 unique visitors.
    March – 2,100 page views and 728 unique visitors.
    April – It’s only half way through the month yet traffic has almost caught up to last month (March) traffic. This shows how it is increasing rapidly every day!

    Nintendo-Shop.co.uk
    January – Did not keep track.
    February – 412 page views and 175 unique visitors.
    March – 509 page views and 197 unique visitors.
    April – April still hasn’t ended but I’d just like to point up traffic this month has improved a lot. There have almost been over 1,000 page views and 200 unique visitors and it is not even half way through the month of April yet.

    LaptopStock.co.uk
    January – 1,947 page views and 589 unique visitors. (This was when I had a website about laptops, technology, news, etc, but because it didn’t generate a lot of revenue I decided to try out the same website but on an Amazon referral store. I will leave it up to the owner to decide whether to use the new Amazon store website or the old version of the website.
    February – 773 page views and 387 unique visitors.
    March – 116 page views and 59 unique visitors.
    April – Traffic has increased yet again with now over 400 page views and 150 unique visitors (and counting).

    WindowsVistaDeals.com

    January – No data.
    February – 323 page views and 91 unique visitors.
    March – 217 page views and 111 unique visitors.
    April – At the moment it is generating slightly better traffic than last month.

    Other

    The website laptopstock.co.uk also comes with a unique design created in Photoshop. The PSD and full rights to the PSD will be sent to the winner of the auction. The PSD has also been fully coded in (x)html/css code.

    The fully developed laptopstock.co.uk website with news and other features can be seen here: http://www.laptopstock.co.uk/index.php I will leave it up to the new owner to decide if he wants to keep the new Amazon referral site or the old website with more content and user interaction.

    All domains have been registered at NameCheap.com and can be easily transferred to your own NameCheap.com account without any problems.

    Please only contact me with any questions if you are a SERIOUS buyer.

    Thank you.

    Hello all,

    You can all see proof of my revenue, traffic, etc, here:

    http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/auction/7066

    Also, just to let you all know, the total monthly traffic from all the websites combined is about (more or less) 3,000 page views per month and 1,100 unique visitors per month.

    Finally, to any of those interested in buying the website, I can continue hosting it on my server free of charge until the 15th of May. This should give the new owner plenty of time to settle in or transfer the website(s) to a different web host. If you still would like to host it on my server this can be done for a low monthly or yearly fee.

    Thank you.

    I'm not bidding, but I just want to say that this script is very profitable and this is probably a good deal. It's true that you don't have to do anything.

    I also own the paid version of the AOM script and according to the license agreement, it is NON-transferable:
    Whenever I sell one of my Amazon sites I downgrade the site to the free version unless the buyer can show me proof that he owns a legal copy of the script.

    So, you are NOT entitled to give buyers a copy of the paid version of the AOM script with the websites.

    In addition, when buyers get an illegal copy of the script this way, they will not be able to upgrade when patches/improvements are issued or changes made to the Amazon system, or get support, without forking out the money for a license anyway or downgrading to the free version.

    kokopelli,
    Thank you very much for informing me about this; i had no idea.

    If the new owner of my Amazon websites had their own AoM license themselves, would I be able to legally transfer the website to them? If so, ill just say that the new owner will also have to purchase an AoM script license ($100 for 1 year and then $20 every year after that) as well.

    Would this be okay?

    Thanks.

    Ash

    Hi everyone,
    Just to let everyone know, so far the highest bid is: $550 (from SitePoint).

    I will be ending this auction THIS Friday (20th of April).

    I also have some important updates to this status of this auction:
    I have just decided that for anyone who decides to 'Buy It Now', I will deduct $100 of the final price so that you can purchase a license to use the script without technically having to pay any extra money. If you already have a license to use the script, you will not have to make any additional purchases.

    But just to be perfectly clear, if you don't already have a license, for anyone who chooses to 'Buy it Now', they will only have to pay $1,000, instead of $1,100. This is so that the $100 that was deducted from the total price of this auction can go towards purchasing a license to use this script.

    Thanks.

    Ash

    *The current highest bid is still $550*

    Remember this website generates revenue automatically and requires no work at all in order to earn money.

    This auction ends in 3 days. Looking for a quick sale.

    Thanks.
