A dropshipping furniture website is up for sale, originally a Yahoo legacy store focusing on outdoor furniture. It doesn't require inventory management or shipping. The site once ranked highly on search engines for key phrases like "outdoor furniture" and "teak outdoor furniture" and accumulated around 10,000 backlinks, indicating a strong online presence. Though rankings have slipped, it previously held high positions on search engines, including a peak at number two for "patio furniture," which attracts significant search interest during summer months. There's potential to restore its search rankings by the upcoming summer.
The owner, now focused on real estate investing, lacks time for website maintenance activities like article writing and link exchanging. The site has been neglected despite generating substantial revenue in past years. The site also offers a guide detailing effective strategies for maintaining and achieving desired search engine rankings, representing significant added value.
Described as four years old with a PageRank of 4, the site attracted over 12,000 individual monthly visitors and 45,000-page views during its peak. It has been listed in DMOZ for three years. Earnings by mid-August 2006 were $10,300, with 85% of its income generated in spring and summer months. Traffic primarily stems from organic rankings for high-traffic keywords in major search engines like Google, Yahoo!, and MSN.
The seller is open to inquiries and can provide further information via email or private message. They acknowledge unfamiliarity with the website selling process but are willing to facilitate the necessary documentation exchange.
