UNIQUE Blog w/ custom template, great domain

    Something special for you today:

    The Site
    I am selling the political blog Flipfloppers dot org. You can view it here. It is a completely unique political blog that records lies and flipflops from politicians. There are currently 35 unique and meticulously researched posts. There are also 10 unpublished posts saved as drafts that you can publish whenever to maintain frequent updates for the blog.

    The Design
    The handcrafted unique design is a heavily modified Wordpress template with custom header and layout.
    Template Features:
    • SEO Optimized
    • AdSense Ready
    • Valid code,optimized for speed
    • 3 column theme, widget ready

    The Domain
    The domain is currently registered at my old webhost NearlyFreeSpeech.net and expires July 7,2008. It can either be pushed for free to your free account at nearlyfreespeech.net or transferred to any registrar of your choosing (but you will be responsible for the transfer fee).

    The Traffic
    For a short time, I was actively promoting the site, resulting in a Digg front page with almost 1000 diggs and several backlinks, as well as 30,000 uniques. Since then I have not had time to promote the site, so it gets about 20 uniques a day from Google and StumbleUpon. I have no doubt that with a little promotion it can get on the front page of Digg again.

    The Revenue
    Since launch in mid August 2007, the site has earned about $11 in CPM ads and $6 in AdSense. There are also Amazon and CafePress affiliate links in the sidebars, but they have not brought in any revenue so far.

    The Potential

    I am selling this only because I am pursuing other projects and don't have time to maintain this one. As we get closer to the primaries and the general election, traffic is sure to increase. You could easily build this up to be a prominent political blog.

    The Price

    Starting Bid: $30
    BIN: $450 .I think the design and potential justify this BIN.
    Payment: PayPal
    Auction ends in 72 hours.

    It pains me to see this blog go, but I need to give this one away to concentrate on other projects. I hope to leave it in good hands.

    Do you have any posters to do it for you, or do you post it all yourself?

    Lordy: All content is posted by myself, but a lot of it was submitted by readers through the Submit page, and required only a little cleaning up.

    weishic: AdSense is currently only on the bottom of individual post pages (example here above the comments). Thanks for your bid!
