The website in question was launched in October 2014, with all content originally authored by the site owner. Built on WordPress, it currently employs the Thrive Theme and Thrive Visual Editor, which cost approximately $150 annually. However, alternative WordPress themes or plugins like TablePress could be used if preferred. The site uses Private Blog Network (PBN) links, with two owned by the site operator and 14 rented monthly, amounting to $161 monthly, including self-hosting costs. The owner is requesting $175 per month for maintaining all PBN links.
The initial link-building strategy involved manual blog comments until April 2015. From that time, eight Web 2.0 properties were added, followed by PBN links starting in July 2015, with more social profile links incorporated over time. All anchor texts accompanying these links are branded or naked URLs, and a press release was also launched without keyword anchors. Post-sale, the owner offers 30 days of support via different communication channels to ease transition.
The reason for selling the site is to generate cash flow for upcoming projects, as the owner is planning to launch over five new sites in early 2016, each with extensive content. Despite appreciating the passive income from the current site, the owner prioritizes funding for their new ventures. An updated video attachment is available, detailing opportunities and risks associated with the website, and the NDA must be agreed to in order to view complete traffic history and other details.
