The site, acquired in July, underwent a comprehensive redesign and technological overhaul to enhance user experience and manage future growth better. This involved upgrading the design, technology, hosting, and SEO optimization, making account, listing, and ad management more straightforward for the owner. The custom-built site now features a user-friendly interface and admin tools and operates on a robust hosting platform with a clean MySQL database. Significant improvements in site traffic and visitor engagement were noted, with a notable increase in page views and a reduction in bounce rate between February 2011 and February 2012.
Revenue generation was not a primary focus, but potential income streams exist through Google Adsense, directory listings, and breeder subscriptions. Previous income figures suggest the site could earn around $300 through Adsense and an additional $100-$200 from listings. The site hosts 1,352 breeders, with potential to charge for listings, similar to competitors. Opportunities for additional revenue also include BuyAds.com listings, DogtimeMedia partnerships, and affiliate marketing.
Marketing efforts include organic SEO based on geography and keywords, a Twitter presence with over 380 followers, and a Facebook page. The future owner could harness these for growth alongside developing email marketing campaigns targeting breeders. The site is well-primed for monetization and expansion, with potential for significant income depending on the new owner's strategy. The sale requires full payment within ten days post-auction, with the option to use bank transfer or Escrow. Ownership and related account transfers will initiate post-payment.
