Site making around $250 per month

    Hello, I'm selling this site http://www.awwbn.com. The site is about Usher it got some news, biography and pictures.

    Summary
    Visitors: 400 per day
    Revenue: currently around $250 per month
    BIN: $3000


    The site is banned from google, I'm not sure why they banned it, but I think that maybe it was because I had 3 links with different keywords pointing to the same url of a friend's site.

    The traffic to the site comes from msn and yahoo. It ranks in both engines for the term Usher, in msn it is #2 and in yahoo it is #10. It have been like that for several months. I achived that position making a lot of link exchanges and since this is not a so competitive keyword keeping those positions is very easy. The site gets around 400 visitors per day.

    You can view the site stats here http://www4.addfreestats.com/cgi-bin/showuni.cgi?usr=00402110

    The income come from 2 sources, adsense and clickbooth.
    Here are the screenshots:
    Google September
    Google October
    Clickbooth September
    Clickbooth October

    Revenue in september was $243.
    Revenue in october so far is $103 (stats up to october 11) so it seems it's going to make around $300 this month.

    In august the site was down around 1 week due to hosting problems (after that I changed my host), the revenue was around $130. In july the site made $160 but I didn't used clickbooth all the month.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    hey Vnewton,, dont ask stupid questions please!

    The BIN is stated above and to ask someone why the are selling a site if it is generating income, makes no sense. People buy and sell profitable sites all the time.

    Hate seeing people make there first post and sounding like an arse:)
    Mill

    I see alot of the traffic coming from webmaster forums. Has any SEO been done to the site?

    I will start it off at 500.00 :):

    millst2, I've made thousands of posts on many boards, and I've always sounded like an ass.

    However, yes, you are right. People generally make more money selling businesses that are profitable.

    I'm selling it because I want to use that money on another idea.

    The traffic from webmaster forums is because of the sale. It usually dont get any traffic from them. Also the daily visitors are around 400-500, the 600+ of today are because of webmaster traffic.

    Yes, I did some seo on the site, not a lot but some. If you check the main page you will see that the term usher is in bold. Also most of the link exchanges where made using that term.

    Current high offer is $500 from millst2, thanks :)

    When will this auction end?
    Do you have a reserve price in mind, or will you be selling to the highest bidder?

    It will end when I find an offer that I like. I will prefer to sell it in less than a week and will like to receive at least 6 months the revenue ($1500).

    I dont think I will sell it for less than that, but you never now, maybe I will let it go with a lower offer ;)

    It depends, if you are going to pay me $250 per month then it would not be worth for me. Also, since it is by credit you will have to pay more than in a normal sale.
