I'm selling ChevyTraverse.org which has made $1,300 in adsense over the past 6 months. All organic traffic and has made $88 so far this month!

The SitePoint Auction:
ChevyTraverse.org - $1300 in 6 months, No Work

I'm also throwing the following sites into auction:

  • CorvetteZR1.info
  • FordFlex.info
  • DodgeChallenger.info
  • 2010Mustang.org
The above 4 have limited traffic/revenue although at one point the zr1 site was doing decent.
 


Who is going to STEAL this site?

  • Sites usually sell for 10x - 12x monthly revenue.
  • ChevyTraverse.org ALONE makes $215+/month
  • 215*12=$2,580
  • Min bid is only $1,000!!!!!!!
  • Plus you get FOUR additional sites for FREEEEEE!!!!!!
I have no clue how this auction isn't rolling along as it shouldn't take long to make your money back!
 
VIA PM someone asked about Adsense Revenue for Jan09-Feb09 and I wanted to share the response for anyone interested:

I have uploaded a Microsoft Excel file of daily stats from January 1st through February 28th. You can find it here:

http://chevytraverse.org/chevytraversestats.xlsx

This is ONLY for the ChevyTraverse.org as the adsense stats on the other 4 are minimal.

Thanks for your vote of confidence hehe.

Chevy is pushing the hell out of Traverse in advertising which continues to fuel search traffic to the site. Automotive industry is advertising fueled... local dealers buy-buy-buy even in recessionary times.

Folks who have worked individual car dealers probably know that most dealerships budget about $400/vehicle in advertising. Which is why Adsense clicks to dealerships pay so much.

And thus is why ChevyTraverse.org is performing so well and will likely continue to perform well.

You could still a "Where To Buy Your Traverse" section and have dealerships listed by state with adsense on each state and probably do really well in terms of organic traffic/clicks.

Just some food for thought.

No clue? Let's look at the risks involved in the income for this site:

1) The domain incorporates a registered trademark "Chevy Traverse" -- one letter from the owner of the trademark, and your domain is gone. Bam! - Income is gone.

2) The site consists largely of photographs of the Chevy Traverse. Who owns the rights for these photos? Do rights for them transfer with the site? Or will the new owner get a takedown notice from the actual owner? Bam! Income is gone.

3) The site is only 5 pages of content. It's exactly the sort of 'made for Adsense' site that will get slapped by Google if an intern ever does a manual review. Bam! - Income is gone.

There is substantial foreseeable risk that this site will not continue to earn at the current rate over the next twelve years. That's why this site isn't moving.
 
  1. Site has been up 1+ years with no problems
  2. Site has been up 1+ years with no problems
  3. So build more content, add a forum, etc...
12 years? Who the hell buys sites like these thinking about where it will be in 12 years? haha. You can make your money back in 4 months if the revenue continues as it has for 8+ months.

Plus you're getting 4 other ready to go sites/domains.

Years was a typo. My bad.

My point is that the 12 times monthly earnings benchmark is a broad benchmark that includes sites with more sustainable earnings potential. Sites like this one, with several glaring risks, will sell for much lower multiples.

I'm not saying that it won't sell. I was just offering some reasons why it wasn't moving.

FULL DISCLOSURE: It appears that a lot of the traffic on CorvetteZR1 seems to be from either Google Images and/or sites hotlinking to the pictures I have on the site. I'm sure there are ways to monetize that.
 
Who ever got the idea that sites sell for 10-12x monthly income?

6-8 at most, where I come from.

::emp::
 
I just got 2 sites taken down for Trademarks (isn't it so nice that google will de-index you if the company complains with proof of trademark ownership?)

I wouldn't even bid $250 on this trademarked MFA.

Sorry to be OT...I was just checking out the chevy traverse site and I like the way the images on the right hand side come up when you click them. Is that a certain WP plugin, or something you coded?
 
Coming from someone who's been sued by Ford and served C&D papers from GMC (Dodge), good luck bro with this one. Fuckers can't make any money selling cars anymore so they're grabbing it wherever they can.

Could someone please tell this n00b what MFA means...mother fucking adsense?

Dot-com dead pool brakes for Ford - CNET News

"The whole (problem) is that if you do a search on Ford and copyright lawsuit, you'll find a million examples of Ford doing this," Kaplan said. "If you're a company that size you can do anything you want in the world."
Greg Phillips, an attorney for Ford with the firm Howard Phillips and Andersen, countered that the company was responsibly protecting its trademark--something trademark holders are required to do consistently if they are to enforce them ever.
"Ford is probably dealing with about 100 different infringements related to the Internet in some way," Phillips said. "I think that's probably pretty standard given you have Ford and all their brands, including Jaguar, Volvo, Lincoln Mercury, etc. In my view that's in the ballpark of what I would expect from a company with so many famous brands."
