About the Business

A design-focused blog launched in mid-2008 has quickly grown to over 19,000 subscribers and 500,000 monthly visitors, achieving a high Google PageRank of 6. Despite minimal initial advertising, primarily a $15/month banner ad, the site draws substantial traffic mainly from Google searches. Hosted by a third-party service, any new ownership will require transitioning the site's hosting and domain registration independently. The platform maintains a strong online presence, including a 5,000-follower Twitter account. The blog, publishing several articles weekly, demands considerable time, estimated at 16 hours per week for content creation and site maintenance. Community engagement includes a news section for user-generated content, which could be retained or removed. Buyer could leverage freelance writers to offset personal time commitments. The blog's monetization began earning significantly in early 2010 with diverse revenue streams like AdSense, BuySellAds, and privately sold in-post ads, with March 2010 generating $3,542 in total revenue. Operating costs remain low, approximately $200 monthly, mainly for hosting. Revenue opportunities suggest growth through expanded ad placements, utilizing RSS feeds for advertising, and venturing into product sales like templates or e-books. Further potential includes establishing membership services, sponsored reviews, affiliate marketing, and leveraging Twitter advertising networks. Detailed traffic metrics show an upward trend, with nearly 507,000 visits in March. The traffic predominantly comes from organic Google searches (38%), while Smashing Magazine and social media contribute significantly. The combining of these diverse traffic and income strategies indicates robust potential for future growth.

Before making an offer

1. Look for verified sellers. Sellers should verify their email, phone, and government ID. When a seller has completed all verifications, we identify them with a checkmark like this:

2. Review financials. Financials are seller-provided inputs. Always ask for verified financials. Ask for a tax return or request access to their dashboard. if it’s an ecommerce store get a transaction report.

3. Review traffic. Sellers can grant you access to Google Analytics. Ask for read-only access to verify site traffic.

4. Schedule a call. Communication is key. The best way to find out more is to speak directly with the seller. For your protection, keep all communication within Flippa.
