We make money when people install Graboid software or Zango software (our two ad partners). I get requests almost daily from people asking to advertise on the site, but I just don't have time to respond, as I'm busy on other projects. If the new owner put time into maintaining links on the site, keeping content fresh,adding new content (from free sources like hulu and fancast) then traffic and revenue would skyrocket. Or just buy the site as it is and earn yourself an extra $300-$500 per day with zero work.
This website dominates the search engines for all the big tv-related keywords and has for over a year, it has 100% organic traffic, completely custom coded, a valuable domain name, and very steady, consistent and HANDS FREE income.
The website is 100% legal, it only links to industry-approved video sources, and it updates itself daily. Note, lots of links are currently dead as I haven't added new content in over a year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FreeTVonline.com is the premier "TV on the internet" website in terms of established branding and SEO presence. The website ranks at the very top of Google (ranging from first position to fifth, depending on the datacenter) for US searches on "free tv", "watch tv", "tv online", and thouands of other related terms. An established and properly aged website, it dominates search engine positions for almost all tv-online related keywords and has for a couple of years. Traffic is steady from search engines as these keywords related to TV on the internet are growing in popularity every day.
This website is truly THE authority site for tv on the internet. In its current state, the FreeTVonline.com only provides direct links to video content that has been approved by the major movies studios and tv networks. This ensures that we will never get any legal complaints. Our proprietary spider gathers many thousands of unique video links per day from around the web and intelligently decides which ones are approved for public display .
------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVENUE
The website averages a profit of AT LEAST $10,000 per month, with ZERO work involved, hands-free income.
We have never really made a push to properly monetize the website.. For instance, there are no banner ads on the website. We've never used a CPM ad program. This could be an additional $3,000 per month at least.
The website could be properly monetized to bring in $20k per month. We just haven't had the time to work on the website at all. Literally ZERO work has been done on this website in over a year. We didn't even begin trying to make money off of the website until February 2008. So this is really a wide open opportunity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Everything on the website is completely custom coded. Website has 4 sections,
First an index of TV and Movie links. In order to stay completely legal (without question), we currently only provide direct access to tv links from MPAA-approved video hosts (ie HULU, etc). However, our spiders index hundreds of thousands of video links and we can change this instantly so that we would provide direct access to all links, if ever the laws for such sites become more clear.
Second is a live TV section that indexes over 100 streaming TV channels from around the world.
Third is a viral video search that searches all of the top video hosts at the same time.
Fourth is a new experimental 'Premium' service where we offer a custom client-side free tv software application (also included with sale with resale rights), a custom Google TV Links search, and an advanced video search.
Everything is completely automated. The website updates itself daily, multiple times per day. There is also an extensive custom back end for administrating users, comments, links, etc. Everything is included in this sale.
-----------------------------------------------------------
TRAFFIC STATS
Traffic is completely organic, coming mostly from Search Engines. We get over 400,000 unique visitors and well over 1.75 million pageviews per month, every month. The daily traffic is very steady. Of course, I'll let any potential buyer see our Google Analytics stats.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY AM I SELLING?
I think that it may better served with a dedicated management team and a new direction. If you buy this website, you will instantly dominate the top of Google for TV and video online-related keywords.
Also, I am starting an online affiliate advertising network, and I need funds to get it started.
Revenue Details
Site has made money in the following ways- by Zango installs, Google refferrals to a 3rd party website (adsense is not allowed on this website), affiliate software sales, affiliate ad offers . No work is required.
Revenue picks up in the fall when the popular TV series come back with new episodes.
To be clear, the site was not monetized in this way until the end of February. We did not make a push to monetize the website for the first year of its existense. The thinking was that without ads, the website would grow in popularity. It certainly did! So, at the end of February we added Zango and Google refferals from the 3rd party website... And voila!
Also, note that the traffic is organic. Also we have no banner ads or text ads on the site. With a push to advertise the website, I am confident it can make even more every month.
Serious bidders ONLY please. Bidders feel free to PM me. I will answer any questions that you have . I am willing to show any information to serious bidders, but will require a signed NDA for further information.
This is a huge opportunity for someone who wants to have a jumpstart into this market, or to a web company who wants to expand its presence. The price is set at this level due to previous interest from potential buyers at this price level.
Traffic Details
Completely organic traffic. We do not advertise or market the website. Most traffic comes from Google. It is VERY high quality traffic, almost all from the US, Canada, and the UK.
You'll see a brief 2 week dip in traffic in March 2009. That was due to a website glitch that accidentally copied page titles across all pages, resulting in a duplicate content errors in the search engines. We corrected the bug immediately, and our traffic has been normal ever since,. Since we corrected that glitch, our PageRank has increased from 4 to 5!
Contrary to the listing details, the content and design are totally 100% unique. Also, Google has indexed 13,000 pages from our website. For some reason the flippa interface isn't working for us to update that info.

Does this really make $300-$500 per day, every day? Do you have stats

Yes, Google referrals was a program that Google had to promote Firefox downloads. That program no longer exists, and we replaced that revenue with revenue from Zango.
Yes, the site makes $300-$500 per day and has done so since Feb 2008. Of course stats will be provided to serious buyers.

The visitor needs to install graboid to be allowed to view the videos?

Graboid is an advertising partner. For video links that our spiders find from sources other than official sites ie Abc.com, hulu, etc (which is most links), we send those users to download the Graboid software.

I have the same question about Zango. How can you be generating revenues from them currently?

Isn't it a bit too much to sell this site at $250000 (reserve), usually sites sell at x10 of monthly revenue which would be $120000. You could argue about expensive script, great content and etc but with more money there's more risk... what if traffic for any reason goes down? Who would work their ass off maintaining the site and pay for hosting just to get his money back in over 2 years or more?
Also, earnings are a bit high considering traffic and page views. I saw a site being sold with 10K visitors/day making $800/month. And you claim to make $300-500/day with 15K visitors/day -

I am still earning from Zango. It's true that the company went belly up early this year. However, the company's assests were purchased and being ran by another company. Here is the zango link http://www.zangocash.com/
I recieved my last check last week or so.... In other words...like it or not..Zango lives!

Seems like a huge gamble, now zango revenue has gone. I presume revenue will now be down, if you can seriously reduce the asking price there could be some offers.

With Zango dead, what other means are there to get that $12,000 a month earnings from advertising?
I don't think it would be possible now, and I think that is why you're really selling. -

Zango isn't dea dude, just new owners.

To clear up any confusion, Zango is definitely not dead at all. They were bought out by a much larger company, and they are stronger than ever. I continue earning hundreds of dollars per day through Zango.

Ad revenues are down 50% across all industries, especially online. I follow this closely in my "day job". Will you consider an earn-out arrangement?
-
- Posted by:

- Mon, 03 Aug 2009 18:51:10 GMT
Well, my earnings aren't down 50%, they're as steady as ever! An earn out doesn't make sense because this is completely passive income, and requires no work.

The site went offline for a little while in July. We migrated servers during that period and now save $550 per month on hosting costs. Summer is the slow season, but the site still averages between $250 and $400 per day, profit.

I don't understand why the site doesn't sell with 7 tries! There must be something wrong with either the site or the listing or no idea what... Anyone? The site owner?
Speaking frankly, if I had that much cash I'd seriously look at this opportunity. Passive income, nothing else to do, great income to support a big family... what else would you need?

I have had several solid offers for the site. However, most people want to owner-finance the sale over a period of years. I'm looking for an upfront cash offer. First bidder to bid $200k upfront takes it!

Also, we have migrated servers so now our hosting cost is only $250 per month. So there's an additional $550 profit per month.
The site continues to earn $250-$400 per day with zero work (summer is the slow season).
