The anonymous author began their blog during college as a hobby, which gradually grew into a substantial project featuring over 2,000 posts and 2,500 comments. Due to a new career in veterinary medicine, they are unable to maintain or promote the blog and have decided to sell it. The blog has proven to be a profitable business with an average net profit of $646 per month over the past year, derived from various income streams like Google AdSense, eBay Partner Network, and LinkShare. The package for sale includes the domain, an associated email address, the website hosted on WordPress, and social media accounts with a modest followership. The seller also offers personal email support for 30 days and assistance in transferring the site to a new host.
Despite its success, the owner's declining interest in the sneaker world and time constraints led to reduced updates since early 2011. However, there's potential for growth with strategic SEO and regular content updates, as proven by earlier traffic spikes. Currently, the blog receives significant traffic from search engines, accounting for 72% of total visits. The highest traffic in the past year reached 131,173 pageviews in September 2011. The author is open to providing more detailed financial and traffic information and is willing to address any further questions from potential buyers.
