Description:

Selling my well established entertainment/babe/humor site www.hornyoyster.com.

Site stats (avgs since Jan 1st 2008):

  • $2000-2500 income/month
  • 800,000 visits/month
  • 1,900,000 pv's/month
  • $210/month server costs

Traffic stats:

  • Direct traffic: 11%
  • Referred traffic: 70%
  • Search engine traffic: 19%
  • USA/Canada traffic: 62%
  • European traffic: 20%

I've operated this site since July 2006, and watched it grow into a fairly large site, but it's time for me to move on as my heart is no longer in it. With a fresh perspective from a new owner, the site could thrive for years to come.

The site updates are minimal, requiring approx 2hrs/day, Mon-Fri. Site material consists of:

  • babe galleries
  • funny videos

Babe pictures are found on public forums, and are free. Same thing goes for movies. All are found free on Youtube and break.com mainly. Babe images are then cropped/resized in Photoshop, and uploaded to server. Along with the daily content, traffic trades with partner sites are necessary. Again, this is very easy, and takes very little time.

The site is run on Wordpress. It requires some very basic HTML knowledge to insert ad codes, and write posts.

Note to buyer: I will make myself available to train and help out the new owner for several weeks until the individual feels comfortable running the site.

 

Revenue Details:

Ad companies:

Adbrite - (6 month avg) $1000/month

CPMonly - $400/month

FindItQuick - $450/month

Blogads - $250/month

Additional income:

Private companies buy ad spots from me from time to time, with varying prices. I also sell plugs varying from $200-$400 month.

    Why such a low percentage (11%) of direct traffic? I would expect more returning visitors.

    You list referrals as 70% of your traffic. Obviously that's critical. Please post or PM detailed referral stats for the past 3-6 months. Also, how much (if any) is purchased traffic?

    Also, you list AdBrite as your primary source of income. However, all of your ads within the AdBrite directory list your "Repurchase Rate" and "Conversion Score" as "No Data". Which normally means not enough ad sales have been made to calculate. Can you explain why that information isn't available?

    Hello,

    I'm very very interested, I've been in this industry for over 3 years and been watching hornyoyster.com, shocked to see you let it go and very interested in it.

    Please PM me referral stats, custom plugins (random at the end of each post) installed, current partnerships and if you own one or more of the sites that send traffic to you regularly and revenue screenshots.

    Cheers!
    Al

    what do you mean when you say "traffic trades with partner sites are necessary".Do you mean that next owner must put only partner sites link in sidebar or something else

    I am not seeing $2.5k of revenue per month. Maybe during your best month, but now it looks like a little over $1k

    Nice stats. Can you please share the referral stats? I need to know that they are legitimate referrals and not paid for links. A PM would be fine. Thanks.

    Do you have any problems with copyright issues?

    Is it possible to outsource any of the work you do?

    How technical do you need to be to run the site?

    Can you PM the reserve and BIN prices?
