Possible sports website sale

99MWD99 · 20-05-08

Hi,

I'm in two minds about this so I'm just seeing what the interest is.

I have a superb sports website that is a full content website dedicated to a leading UK sports TV broadcaster it is run on Wordpress CMS. The sale includes full ownership of the site and domain.

It has earned £12,000 in commissions since 20th October 2007 until 19th May this year. Money is earned from an affiliate programme and also a small amount each month via adsense.

Traffic is on average 13,000 unique visitors a month. Of course, if there are any serious parties interested in the site then I will provide traffic/revenue screen shots.

The site hits the first page on Google for all major keywords.

Some current data:

Page Rank 4
Solid backlinks
Ranks nicely in search engines
100% organic traffic
Huge potential for massive growth

So thats 12k in commissions for 7 months. Average about 1.7k a month. The reason for possible sale? I have several large projects that need my time and my kids need to see more of their Dad

I will not let this site go on the cheap. so I'm looking for x 24 months revenue = £40,000 +
If I don't get this I will simply keep the site and develop it further.

SERIOUS ENQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE by PM in the first place. I'm giving members on this forum first chance before it gets listed elsewhere. Payment via Escrow or Wire Transfer.

Thanks, Martin.

Hi Martin,

Where does the money come from ? affiliate programs ? adsense ?

How many u/v does it get per month ?

You can PM me if you prefer, but these are 2 things which other people will probably want to also know

Thanks

Thanks Smingle, I have updated the first post.

I will of course provide proof of income/traffic and any other info for potential buyers.

Thanks.

I think that the kind of site you are talking about you could get built and promoted and generating income for less than half of the asking price and in a reasonable timeframe, which means that 40k is probably an ambitious pricetag.

If something is easily replicable then a multiplier of turnover is a little unreliable.

Of course someone with no technical skills and no access to skilled technical people may pay more, but they would then have less of a chance of succesfully developing on the site.

2 years is a lot to ask people to pay upfront when you are making such a small amount per month on it.
