The mobile phone comparison website, established in 2006, provides a specialized platform for users to compare deals from major UK retailers and networks. With around 13,000 unique visitors per month, the site earns over £6,000 annually through affiliate programs and maintains a Page Rank of 4. It also boasts a user base of 2,000 subscribers, 273 Facebook fans, and 500 Twitter followers. The site includes a comprehensive mobile accessories catalog linked to an affiliate program and offers features such as mobile insurance comparison and a dedicated blog. A standout feature is the sophisticated API that enables partners to market products by integrating the price comparison feed on their websites. Managed by a single individual, the site requires periodic updates to maintain product accuracy and blog content; however, much of the process is automated through a custom-built CMS. The offering includes a domain name and development assets, with guidance available for transition and site management.
Due to a career change, the current owner seeks to sell the site, which has previously provided a substantial income, particularly during peak periods. Currently, the site averages £200-£300 monthly through affiliate channels. Traffic predominantly originates organically, supplemented by minimal advertising expenditures on select blogs. Hosting fees are the primary operational cost. The potential for revenue growth remains, especially with increased attention and management. Historical traffic data and additional income documentation are available upon request. The site holds high Google UK ranks for several relevant keywords, demonstrating its optimization for search engine visibility.
