Description:

OVERVIEW
InfoAddict.com is a one-stop source for all things important, interesting or hilarious to the internet generation.  It's an information portal for everything from video games, movies, music and television to science, technology, business and politics...and anything else we think will give our readers a great information fix.  We write original articles and we "cliff-note" material gathered from around the web, to which we add our own unique and often humorous commentary.

WHY WE ARE SELLING
Frankly, we ran out of money. We were trying to build a network on online sites and were not able to get to profitability soon enough. The site has tons of potential still, but we have already invested a lot of time and money and are moving on to something else. But our loss is your gain - you get to take the business from where it is now after we have spent all of the time, energy, and money to get it here and you get it all at a fraction of what we spent. All you need to do now is add content!

REVENUE
We never focused on revenue AT ALL. We were building the platform, building the brand, and working on perfecting content. We ran some AdSense, but it never added up to more than a few hundred $ a month. We were approached by some companies for direct ad deals, but were a little too small to close the deals.

TRAFFIC
We have been able to generate good traffic. The formula has been to create good content and then seed it through social tools (digg, etc), forums, and other normal marketing methods. At our peak we did ~130k uniques in a month (as counted by Google). Lately we have not been able to focus on the site as we are winding down our operations.

TECHNOLOGY

InfoAddict.com is built on the super-solid professional CMS & framework Typo3 (see www.typo3.com). It is easy to customize and very powerful. The purchase of this site includes 20+ hours of email/phone training for Typo3 CMS and other site questions. We are currently paying WAY too much for hosting at RackSpace.com. This auction includes 2 weeks of hosting, but we highly recommend you move to a cheaper host. 

 

Please PM with any questions - Thanks!

Revenue Details:

  6. A few answers to questions:

    We haven't included a BIN price.

    Adsense revenue is minimal. Under $50 for last month. If you are interested in buying this site for current cashflows, it's probably not for you :)

    Trademark is included.

    Quantcast = Quantcast :) I have posted GA data and am happy to further verify with any serious buyer.

    Maintenance of the site includes adding content. How much content you decide to add is up to you, but the more content the better!

    I'm happy to answer any questions!

  7. Seems that 1/4 of your traffic (your number 1 source) comes from StumbleUpon, not a great source of traffic. I would have expected more form digg.com. Are you banned over there? Just not submitting?

  8. we haven't been actively pushing the site for more than 2 weeks. i'd say that having 25% from stumbleupon this much after the fact is a GOOD sign :)
