The news site, established in April 2008, has achieved a PageRank of 6 and has grown its audience organically, particularly through its inclusion in Google News over recent years. The current owner is transitioning to a different career and is seeking a new owner to take over and further develop the site. The platform's flexibility allows the new owner to steer it in various directions due to its comprehensive coverage in Google News. The majority of content is original, with respectful acknowledgment of sources, and images are sourced with attention to copyright, using reputable sources such as Wikimedia and WireImage.
Financially, the site generated just under $7,000 in the past year from Google Adsense alone. Additional revenue of $2,558.52 was earned from Vibrant Media Intext Ads between December 2009 and November 2010. The site also generates income from two other advertising sources, which help cover server expenses of $169 per month. Technical specifications for the server include features such as an Intel Celeron processor and managed services.
Traffic to the site is entirely organic, totaling 3,105,355 pageviews between December and November. Despite the owner's planned departure, the well-established platform presents an opportunity for a new owner to continue or expand its operations within the online news space, benefiting from its existing infrastructure and revenue streams.
