The owner of a hobby website is seeking a quick sale. They initiated a new project a few months back and have since lost interest in maintaining this particular site. Although the site hasn't been updated in about five or six months, it still attracts a substantial amount of natural traffic. The website could be ideal for a buyer familiar with CSS who can contribute actively. Originally, it required user login and included a menu building system, which has now been simplified. The sale will include a database with approximately 5,000 registered users.
The site boasts roughly 30,000 inbound links, frequent surges of traffic via social media, and favorable rankings such as PR 5 and an Alexa ranking of 83,000. Recent revenue includes $170 from banner ads (previously $370 before cancellations), $30 from AdSense, $50 from text link ads, and an average of $120 per month from the sale of source files like PSDs. Traffic is all-natural with many inbound links, often featured in lists of CSS menu sites, and experiences regular boosts in traffic from social media. The site ranks well for various CSS-related search terms, demonstrating notable recognition in its niche. Overall, it presents a promising opportunity for a new owner to capitalize on its existing reputation and traffic.
