A major anime website with a longstanding and active community is available for sale. Established before 2004, it features a wiki with over 13,000 articles and receives approximately 50,000 unique daily visitors, spiking by an additional 10,000-20,000 during weekends. Statistics from August to October 2008 show nearly 5 million unique hits. The site ranks well on Alexa, and operates on a single server costing $500 monthly. There are minimal additional expenses, allowing for a healthy profit.
The site's main attraction, the wiki, and forum subdomains, show potential for development such as integrating a homepage. The community handles article creation and moderation, reducing maintenance to primarily server upkeep. The site's content focuses on a popular franchise with consistent interest, particularly in the U.S. and U.K., comprising 40-45% of its traffic.
Revenue streams from advertising networks like Tribal Fusion, Direct Media Exchange, and Kontera have generated over $11,000 in three months. Advertisements are strategically served to specific regions and not shown to logged-in users, with traffic remaining largely organic at 70-80%.
The owner is selling the website to pursue new opportunities outside of the internet, particularly in real estate, despite its good return and low maintenance requirements. Interested buyers are encouraged to inquire for further information and clarification.
