The website in question is a family law and divorce publishing platform with low maintenance requirements, primarily monetized through display ads and some affiliate offers. Built on WordPress, it hosts a thriving commenting community using Disqus. Additional assets include a short domain used for link shortening and a LinkedIn group with approximately 3,000 attorney members. Its presence on social media includes two Twitter accounts, one active with 847 followers, and one inactive with 600+ followers.
Established in 2006, the site features 473 family law and divorce-related FAQ articles written by US attorneys, organized by topic and geography. The blog also focuses on celebrity divorces. The last significant content update was in 2011, though guest articles have since been published. In 2013, the site underwent a redesign and moved to new hosting. Monetization is achieved through Google AdSense, Media.net, TextLinkAds, and legal affiliate offers, with more than 90% of revenue derived from display ads.
The site requires limited maintenance, around two hours monthly, which includes comment moderation and occasional content management. Financially, it generated a gross profit of $7,397.93 in 2013, with average monthly revenue and expenses of $642.33 and $24.17, respectively. Traffic is primarily driven by organic search, with notable visits from the US and modest international representation. The seller aims to sell the site to concentrate on a growing consulting business. Future opportunities exist for engaging lawyers in user interaction and expanding monetization through partnerships with law firms.
