Description:

Dodevice.com is an established technology blog, with a high readership.

Brand

It has been featured on the biggest technology blog and there are a lot of authority websites that get news from it, offering a link back. Some of them are Engadget, Gizmodo, Crunchgear, Reuters, FoxNews, ComputerShopper, IBS, UsaToday and much more, that bring quality traffic.

Traffic

The traffic varies from a lot of traffic sources, like Google, Referrers ( as stated above ), Social Media, Returning visitors, Subscribers.

Monetization

Lately, I didn't take care very good of monetization and stopped doing tests, but a while ago I tried a lot and seen that Adsense and Chitika work much better with other ad placement. Also, affiliate sales could provide good earnings, if you find the right ads. Currently, I would say it's monetized at 25% of it's potential.

Running costs

The running costs are very low, it runs on a dedicated server with many other websites, but a shared or VPS is enough. Writers are very cheap and paid on a word-basis.

Reason for sale

I got into too much and don't have time for all. Affiliate marketing, consulting services and a job are too much for me, so I want to sell the blogs, because I don't want to let them on their own. I kept this blog until now because is one of my passions and I like it, but it does require the time I can't allocate for it.

    Can you up the visitor stats as the one on your site shows your whole network?
    I notice you have a lot from Stumbleupn - Do you or have you had an active paid campaign with them?

    Ok, i will post here.

    I have a wide list of news websites and press releases that I get the news from and I will pass it to the buyer.

    Usually, there are 3-4 posts a day.

    I only spend maximum a few hours a week, because sometimes I post articles ( rarely ), check stats and stuff like this.

    Alexa rank got down due to the algorithm change.

    I will upload April stats

    Is the April traffic you just posted from dodevice.com only and does not include the other sites you own?
