The website, launched over a decade ago with the widely recognized domain name, offers a significant opportunity for new ownership. It records traffic of over 700K visits annually with 2.2 million page impressions, a value equating to $140,000 in potential advertising costs. A redevelopment by CBS Interactive, who purchased a sister site of similar brand recognition for $280 million, signifies potential growth in traffic and interest.
The site sale includes a large email subscriber base, with two main lists totaling over 200,000 members, although not recently validated. When acquired, the site hosted extensive artist content, with over 19,000 artists and 100,000 tracks. Hosting costs approximately $2,400 monthly on dedicated servers in Australia, with potential for cost reduction or new development post-sale.
Despite considerable traffic, the revenue from June 2010 to May 2011 was approximately $12,600 AUD, managed externally. The site's brand and traffic offer a strategic opportunity for media or music sectors. The sale, a cash-only transaction, does not involve stock or swaps. Accompanying stats from affiliated sites show a decrease in traffic post-technology changes.
Potential buyers are encouraged to consider the development of a new user concept given the domain's organic traffic value. The offering includes the possibility of incorporating other related domains into the sale. The once popular mp3.com site, now a dormant but still globally recognized brand, exemplifies the potential the new owners of the domain could capitalize on.
