Beginner freindly website, focused on the outdoor niche up for sale. The site has stood the test of several google updates, and monetized via Amazon & Ezoic.
A Canadian couple initially launched a website focused on outdoor product comparisons in 2015, which was later acquired by a new owner in November 2020. At the time of acquisition, the site had over 800 posts, of which more than 500 were deleted and redirected to increase traffic. This effort resulted in doubling the site's traffic. However, a Google algorithm update in April 2021 led to a 60% decrease in traffic, prompting adjustments to content by virtual assistants. Subsequent Google updates in December 2021 and March 2022 led to a favorable rise in traffic. The website predominantly attracts organic traffic from search engines, with a 76% increase in visitors from December 2020 to December 2021.
The site operates on WordPress, utilizing the GeneratePress theme, and various optimization plugins like Imagify and WP-Rocket. Currently, the performance lab within Ezoic is used for advanced speed optimization, replacing WP-Rocket. Monetization primarily occurs through Amazon Affiliate links and Ezoic display ads, realizing certain earning averages: $258.04 for the past three months, $223.72 over six months, and $161.98 in the last year.
Further growth strategies include expanding product clusters and adding new high-value content, with new posts successfully ranking in search engine results. No link-building has been undertaken. The website is hosted on Siteground, and transfer support is offered to prospective buyers, including database access and responsive aftersales support through email communication.
