Established Technology blog for sale - PR4 - $1000 AdSense revenue in 2007

[Etherfast]

Since we've got no time to focus on this project anymore, we decided that it's best to put it up for sale. I'm talking about http://www.our-picks.com . Any other details or questions will be answered in PM or in public, here.

Features:
* Page Rank 4
* Rated 5 stars in "Computers" for StumbleUpon
* Over $1000 revenue from Google AdSense this year - screenshots attached
* ~2000 unique visitors per day (search engines traffic, regular readers, new readers and so on) and 735.000 overall - Analytics screenshot attached

The bid should start around $4000, but we'll sell the website to anyone that offers at least $8000 (the "Buy It Now" price).

Well, now that's around $4.000 indeed, but thanks for the suggestion

Normally you are lucky to get 12x the monthly revenue if you have a really good site, so the best you can hope for is $1000 imho

I think he's saying that the site has made $1000 so far this year, so about 3.25 months, not $1000 in 12 months.

 

[Etherfast]

Yes, that's $1000 in 3 months; it's also stated in the original post.

Hi there, just wondering how much time the staff spend per day researching entries. Also would they be staying on as writers? If so, are they paid? Also can you explain the traffic spike in January?

Cheers

Hi, sorry for the second post. I'm sure I'm not quite getting something here, but your adsense stats seem to say $4.02 a day. Which for the first three months of this year would make around $400 not $1000 as shown. Could you expand on your stats, perhaps show a image with the date range in too?

 

[Etherfast]

Hey there,

The traffic spike in January was caused by three or four heavy digg effects as we reached digg.com's homepage several times. That crushed our server, heh.
I can't tell you about the other staff members, but since I was the most active one, I can tell you I was spending ~2 hours / day writing articles there. There was huge work to be done in the backend (template customization, coding and other), but I was allocating 2h for the research & writing part.

If we manage to get new owners for this project, we won't be staying as editors there, but the project can easily be continued as the buyer also buys the overall image of the project.

The AdSense status for January, February, March and April are attached.
Terribly sorry for coming up shorter than the initial screenshot. It wasn't done by me and I didn't doublecheck it before uploading. It seems it counted our overall revenues instead of showing our revenues for 2007 as I asked it for.

Also, let me mention our-picks.com is ranked among the top 7000 blogs in Technorati.

I'm still not clear on the income. The Jan image, for example, shows an average of about a dollar a day yet has a total for the month in excess of $400.

 

[Etherfast]

The $1 value is the average eCPM for January, it has nothing to do with the actual income. The average for January is ~$13,5 (screenshot attached)

Thank you all.
