The text describes an auction for an automated coupon website, which generates revenue through affiliate links. The owner is selling because they prefer building sites over maintaining them. The site uses custom scripts to manage coupon feeds from affiliate networks, automating the addition and removal of merchant coupons based on their availability. The website is integrated with WordPress for blogging and search engine exposure and has a system in place to manage merchant and coupon data efficiently. Users reveal coupons, which sets affiliate cookies, and they can share these via social media platforms. The site also features administrative tools for managing merchants, including the ability to merge duplicate entries, and has a mailing list managed via an email service with over 300 subscribers.
Automated scripts handle tasks such as fetching revenue data and managing Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns, reducing time spent on daily operations to about 45-60 minutes of reviewing coupons.
The website boasts over $81,000 in profit, highlighting its automation and limited daily management needs as selling points. There's mention of the potential for PPC advertising, although the seller's AdWords account has been shut down due to quality issues with another domain. Additional revenue can be generated through methods like eBay product links. The auction does not include affiliate accounts or hosting, and transferring the domain is the buyer's responsibility. The sale includes a report on high-performing merchants and emphasizes the site's potential, particularly during the lucrative fourth quarter.
