    I'm selling one of my micro niche sites to fund another project of mine - this site has generated consistent Adsense revenue since I added Adsense in January. It's ranking 12th for it's main keyword and ranking for many other keywords as well. A wee bit of backlink building would easily take the site onto the first page.

    The main keyword (facial hair styles) has 14k searches each month and a CPC of $4 so it's a very profitable niche.

    Some screenshots:

    The AWStats and Adsense impressions don't seem to match up. Facial hair styles (with a space) is the one with good CPC and traffic, not facial hairstyles. However, you get reasonable traffic for that (KW with the space). But the traffic stats could be more any site... Can't you provide more traffic stats and one that show the sites URL (I'm fairly sure AWStats has this on its pages).

    Traffic stats will never match Adsense impressions, since some people will have ad blockers etc, but also AWstats include some spider visits where Adsense doesn't log them as actual visitors, which accounts for some of the difference.

    I don't have any other stats to show I'm afraid, I never got around to adding Analytics to this site. I've taken a full screen screenshot of the AWstats page which shows the URL in the top right:

    I know that. Did you check them? Adsense shows higher than AWStats impression, which is very unusual. I expected them to be lower, but it's not and by a significant amount.

    I think you might be confusing unique visitors and page views. Adsense shows 10,700 page views, and AWstats shows 23,000 page views for the same period, which seems about right.

    I can't offer login access to AWstats without giving my password out to amend all my sites, read only access is not possible. However, I'd be willing to arrange a team viewer session if necessary?

    Sorry about that, verifying ownership now.

    Just a quick update - the Alexa rank has improved from over 7M to below 5M since this auction started, a huge improvement which shows the quality of the site.
