Selling Unique Mobile Phone Based Site - 156k Alexa - 30,000 Members in 2 Months

Im looking into the possibilites of getting an application designed and made so may sell my sites to fund this

The site was set up on the 1st Aug 2009 and would be a little gold mine in the right hands.

The site provides members with a Symbian S60 mobile phone the ability to generate a cert and key for their phone enabling them to install unsigned apps onto their phones. There isnt alot of websites in the world that provide this service hence the popularity.

Since its launch the site has got just under 30,000 members signed up to the service. Rank in alexa is currently 156,946k

Has ALOT of backlinks which you can check yourselves. Everywhere always reports different amounts though Seo ProTools (popular one on DP it seems) shows over 1700 Domain links and many more link counts.

Appear first in Google for the keywords "S60 Cert Key" and "s60 certificate key" which has 681,000 results.

Most traffic is through referalls. GA shows for the last 30 days:

* 126,698 Visits
* 455,058 Pageviews

Referring Sites 71,138.00 (56.15%)
Direct Traffic 49,372.00 (38.97%)
Search Engines 6,188.00 (4.88%)

At one point we were getting 8,000 hits per day, lowest recorded is 2,200 (This was because publisher ID's were revoked and we had to wait for the system to come back online again)

I only started monetizing the site a month ago when i purchased the site. In that time i have made revenue wise:

£55 = Google Adsense
£48 = Comission Junction (showing only one banner earning 40p per free signup) - Site has 2 main banner spots 728x90, a 160x60 spot, and a sponsored textlink box. All revenue is through only the one affiliate so only one banner being used currently.
$218 in Paypal donations = http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/3164/16395007.jpg

I also set up a forum on its own domain to go with the site. This was set up a couple of weeks ago and so far, again with no advertising has had

* 4,847 Visits
* 36,719 Pageviews and is ranked 527,927 in Alexa so far

I have done some modifications to the forum including making adsense appear nice as it does here on DP forums, (Thin line underneath each post from OP)
added some custom icons, embedded mp3 player so ringtones can be listened to before downloading, and an image gallery mod, which you can see if you click on any of the pictures on the forum.

There is no BIN because I cant work one out, basically im going to see what offers are made, if they convince me to sell I will and if they dont i wont as i know this could be a very profitable with the right monetizing

Not sure what else to add but feel free to ask or PM me and ill respond when I get a chance.

Cheers

 

56% traffic come from Referral. Are the referral sites yours too? How we could sure that we could get same traffic from Referral sites after we buy the site?

 

Because like i said the reason the site is so popular is because there aren't many sites that offer this service. Go and google it and do your own research and you will see for yourself.

All the forums and blogs mention the site hence why so much referrals.

 

Has this sold yet?
If not can you clarify your response. I think he meant that if we have the winning offer will you still have these forums linking to the site?

 

Of course the forums will link to the site, My GA stats shows traffic from well over 1000 sources.... Why? Bec if your one of the 75% of the population with a Symbian phone, anywhere you look regarding how to hack/unlock your phone to be able to install unsigned apps you will find my site.

Also if you look at how many backlinks there are to this site you will see what i mean.

However, i very much doubt ill get what i want for the site so whether it actually sells or not is a different story.

Site has taken another $160 since my last reply on here through selling advertisement space

 

Not for sale, by the looks of it i have found an investor for my new project so the sale is off until further notice.
