A web auction is offering two appealing domains: one with a history as a popular coupon site, and another as an established deal blog. The first domain has a 7-year history and a decent page ranking. Originally launched in 2010, this domain hosted a coupon site but later transitioned its content to the second domain. The second domain, now a coupon and deal blog, is managed by an individual who employs five contributors to create content. This blog has garnered a significant social media following and features over 20,000 posts. Its potential for ongoing success is attributed to the minimal upkeep required due to the contributions of the writers.
The current owner reports that income from the website is evenly distributed across three monetization strategies: Google Adsense, affiliate income, and a coupon printing service. The decision to sell the blog stems from challenges faced by residing in a Nexus state, which has negatively impacted affiliate income, particularly with Amazon and other platforms. This has made profitability increasingly difficult. Despite these challenges, the site holds substantial value through its name, content, and potential for continued revenue, especially for someone well-versed in affiliate marketing.
The site is hosted on WordPress with GoDaddy, and it utilizes affiliate marketing, Adsense, and sponsored posts for monetization. The sale presents an opportunity for a buyer who can leverage the site's existing assets and strong foundation in the realm of digital marketing.
