unlocked iphones site: 9500+ visitors $100-200+ revenue / month GROWING!

unlockediPhones.net

We have developed this site over the last 7-8 months. We initially focused on search engine optimization and aggregating quality content and making it easily accessible for visitors to view, discuss and rate. The content aggregation system is automated and tweaked, and the site requires about 5 minutes per day to optimize article tags and clear out spam comments.

It is powered by WordPress (free) along with several plug-ins that we optimized for the site.

Traffic & Revenue

The traffic was light until about March 2009. Since then we have seen steady growth;

2009 April
1900 visitors, 2500+ page views, $109.22 revenue

2009 May
4800+ visitors, 7500+ page views, $225.91 revenue

2009 June
7073 visitors, 9966 page views, $346.41 revenue

The site is well positioned in the search engines, with 6600 pages indexed in Google and 906 in Yahoo.

Overall, in 2009 so far, there are 15,600+ visits from 170 countries, 85 % of which were from search engines using 7100+ different keywords.

The top 5 countries, by number of visits, are the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and India.

The revenue is from Google Adsense and the eBay Partner Network – there are also direct affiliate banners in rotation on the site.

We’re selling the name and site in order to finance other projects – this is a most promising site in terms of further growth (and revenue) for a market (unlocked iphones) that will only continue to flourish!

Payment terms are PayPal MassPay (verified and confirmed accounts only)… mandatory escrow for transactions over $5K.

See the following traffic screenshot that shows the nice ramp-up this Spring:



Finally, here's a screen-shot of the revenue generated through the eBay Partner Network for the site (March 1 - May 21, 2009):



Serious buyers only; listed on multiple forums.

Cheers,

Final June numbers are in and growth is great:

7073 visitors, 9966 page views, $346.41 revenue

That is over 50% more revenue than in May... (1st posted updated with all numbers)... all traffic is organic - no paid advertising of any sort to bring in traffic, all through content optimization and natural organic positioning.

So we're looking at $681.50 in revenue for the last 3 full months.

July is looking great already, with $95+ in revenue already! (Yes, that is for July 1st - July 6 )

BIN: $withdrawn (PayPal Masspay - verified and confirmed only... and only from established NP member; otherwise Escrow with buyer paying fees.)

 

[RTM]

High offer: $2650

BIN: $expired (PayPal Masspay - verified and confirmed only... and only from established NP member; otherwise Escrow with buyer paying fees.)

As traffic and revenue goes higher month to month, the BIN will be increased accordingly. While forward looking revenue statements can't be made, the 3 month track record has been great, and July is looking great:

July 2009 (to July 7)

1068 visitors, 1500+ pageviews, $110+ revenue

Also, now 170+ followers for the (automated) Twitter account, included with this sale.

In addition, sale will include complete Google Analytics stats with valuable metrics to continue optimizing the revenue stream.

Reason for sale? It's time to finance new start-up projects!
