Any stats?

 

Hey, thanks for your interest.
No stats yet as I just recently bought the domain and launched it.
So no traffic/Adsense gains yet.

 

NOTE: torrentreviews.com is *not* included as a bonus in this auction. That is a typo.

 

Where do you expect the future traffic to come from?

As we all know, the term 'torrent' is a terrible search term for SEO because the visitor doesn't have any intent on purchasing anything.

 

Future traffic will come from organic search as the new owner builds out the site content, which is easy to do because article topics are very straightforward --- best practices on torrenting. This is a lot easier to build content about compared to more complicated topics related to medicine/law/health, etc. that require scientific or professional experience.

As for your question about monetization challenges, you can refer to the example of torrentfreak[dot]com. They are the #1 ranked site right now on topics about torrents. Check out how they monetize. They have been around for years and therefore are making enough to keep operations going.

Yes you are right, people looking for torrent info are not in mindset to buy movies/tv shows/music, but that does not mean they will never buy anything. Most people who torrent are still human beings who can be interested in buying things (e.g. "geek" or computer related products).

 

I'm canceling this auction, as well as all my other auctions. There's just not enough interest here on digitalpoint for what I'm offering.
