Description

The site is AdviceDiva.Com

This website has been my sole source of income for the past couple of years as I have been a stay at home mom. I am selling it because....I am bored with it. I am getting back into real estate and I can't really do both. Naturally, I don't want to let it go for too low of a price. I have put a lot of work into this over the years. Sure, it isn't perfect, but I never had a formal html class. Sort of just picked up an html book and taught myself.

I get 1,200 - 1,600 uniques a day. Tons of page views. Most of my traffic comes from organic search results in Yahoo. Hardly anything from Google, not sure why. I have tons and tons of number one listings in yahoo such as:

  • How to get your ex back
  • How to get her back
  • How to get back together
  • free love letters
  • free relationship ebooks
  • cheap romantic dates

And more. There are seriously hundreds. I have lots of advice columns and articles and if you do a search for their title name, my page will show up number one. Not all, but very many. And, of course, I have hundreds more key phrases which pop somewhere in the top ten on yahoo.

My Alexa ranking has gone down lately. But that is random, it goes up and down and I have no idea what it really measures. Right now my rank is 328,324.

Everything on my site was written by me, no duplicate content. The only thing not written by me is the descriptions of each monthly book for my book club, those came from the editor. And then my review on the book is my own.

The site is done on all asp pages, except for a few php sections such as the forum, which has around 1,000 members. My email list has around 9,000 members.

Costs of running:

  • Google Adwords...I spend $500 monthly
  • Constant Contact...my emailing company, $75/month. Not necessary.
  • Hosting...$300/year, your call on that

I make about $300 daily on the sale of my books. I wrote them. The sole rights to these digital books comes with the sale of this website/domain. No one esle has them. I also make money through clickbank where I sell other people's books on this website. To make it easy, we can just transfer my clickbank account to the buyer or he/she can go through each page and change the code.

There is no admin section for this website. The purchaser needs to be a webmaster and know how to write basic html pages.

My sales have recently gone down because people jumped on the bandwagon and made similar eguides. Now there are a ton with fancier sales pages. Oh well.

I also make revenue from http://www.advicediva.com/ad/advertising/ Every once in a while someone will buy some.

I am not sure what else to tell ya. I think will all of the traffic and the fact that Yahoo seems to list my pages at the top makes it an ideal candidate for making even more money. You can do with it what you want, maybe you can make it bigger and better!

As far as hosting goes. I just purchased a full year last month. I think the easiest way to go would be for the buyer to just take over my hosting account. Transferring it will be a pain, but it can also be done. I use webhost4life.com

What else do you need?

    Hi. I am quite interested in your site that you have for sale and would be interested in purchasing the content. However, can you post some status screenshots of revenue proof, traffic, etc. I want AS many details as you can possibly tell me. If so, please PM me and we can talk via MSN, AIM, or TELEPHONE. Thank you very much.

    -David

    Well, someone just bid but they meant to do a conditional bid so that I can send proof of income and traffic. So I am doing that, but how can I "unbid" them since it seems to be a mistake on their part?

    Here is my traffic shot for 2007. I can provide the rest of 2008 if you want too. As you can see, it goes up and down, up and down.

    As far as proof of income, I am not sure how to provide that. It comes from Clickbank, Paypal and Google checkout. I am leary about giving out personal information. Should I just try and do screen shots for that too?
