The auction is intended for serious bidders, offering a refined list of domain names and websites that generate revenue. Previously, 350 domains were for sale, but now the focus is on 160 profitable websites. This strategic change was driven by feedback from an earlier auction where the reserve was not met. The domains are organized to maximize revenue through ads and affiliates, boasting impressive SEO results, particularly in Yahoo and Google rankings.
The seller has optimized costs, reducing server expenses from $234 to $150 per month, and suggests this as a beneficial investment for potential buyers, given the site's monthly revenue growth of 25%-40% over six months. The package includes unique content, most of which is original, though some has been user-submitted. The websites, integrated into a single network, draw traffic efficiently, with room for further content development.
The auction includes comprehensive transfer support, ensuring smooth domain and server transfers. Domain renewals are covered until 2010 for buyers opting for the buy-it-now (BIN) price, calculated as two years' revenue. Payment can be made via certified check, wire transfer, or escrow, with the buyer responsible for any related fees. Ad accounts cannot be transferred due to terms of service and tax considerations.
Revenue details from September 2008 to February 2009 show significant growth. Private advertising remains untapped but is suggested for increased profitability. The seller aims to attract capable buyers to further develop the network and is selling to fund personal investments. The sale also includes an option for additional domain acquisitions if the BIN price is reached.
