A prominent polling website, launched in 1998, is available for sale, including two associated domain names. Over the years, this website has become a major player in the polling space, offering users the ability to create, participate in, and view poll results. Additionally, it features a popular message board section. The site has organically accumulated a vast database of tens of thousands of polls, driving massive organic traffic. However, the site's owners have recently shifted focus, resulting in a decline in monthly AdSense revenue from over $1500 to about $400-$600, despite traffic levels remaining relatively stable. This suggests a strong potential for revenue restoration. The site's operation requires minimal time and effort, with hosting as the only expense. All traffic is organic, with no active promotional activities undertaken through platforms like social media or blogs.
The decision to sell stems from the absence of in-house programming resources and a lack of time to fully monetize the site. The website is constructed using the LAMP stack and programmed in Perl. The sale includes the website's domain names, social media accounts with considerable follower counts, and several performance metrics such as a Page Rank of 5 and an Alexa Rank of 97,971 in the US. The site boasts thousands of Google keywords, 605,000 Google links, and 62,000 inbound links.
