The text describes an auction for a niche job board website, launched in 2005, by its current owner who previously sold another job site to a major company in 2003. The owner is selling the site due to a lack of personal engagement and a focus on other projects, despite its successful history with documented traffic and revenue. The website, recognized as an authority site with numerous backlinks from governmental and educational institutions, has a user base of around 18,000 registered users and 400 employer accounts. The owner stopped taking job postings the previous year and has since been relying on advertising revenue.
Revenue details indicate significant earnings from AdSense, with 2009 revenue at approximately $33,563 and 2010 at approximately $73,115. However, figures for job postings are not well documented due to commingled financial accounts. The site had strong unique visitor numbers and page views in 2010, with over 736,000 unique visitors and more than 2.5 million page views. Analytics are primarily gathered through AWstats, though Google Analytics was integrated partially.
There are minimal costs associated with maintaining the site, as it's hosted on a VPS. The owner experimented with removing Jobamatic in 2011, which improved AdSense click-through rates, indicating potential for increased profitability if reintegrated. The site is suggested as a beneficial acquisition for those in the job board industry or looking to enter.
