In late July, the current owners acquired a website originally designed as a MySpace layout platform built on WordPress. Since the acquisition, the site has consistently generated $2,000 per month in revenue, primarily from the ads that were placed upon purchase. The current owners have admittedly not made any further modifications or updates to the site. The site features original MySpace layouts developed by the previous owner, and the template code for these layouts is available for creating new designs. The website enjoys steady traffic, largely coming from Google, other search engines, and MySpace, with each layout installed on a MySpace profile linking back to the site. This diverse range of keywords from which it receives traffic minimizes the risk of losing visibility to competitors.
The reason for selling the website is to raise capital for a separate, offline business venture. The sale is being conducted as a seven-day auction. Additional details regarding the revenue and traffic specifics are provided, though not elaborated on in this summary. The site offers an opportunity for potential buyers to harness its existing traffic and revenue, as well as the potential for further development by leveraging the available layout templates to expand its offering.
