Description:

Hello, up for grabs is my myspace graphics site. This site has been a solid earner for me and I'm not real motivated to sell because its so easy to maintain, and the revenue is very consistant but I would like to raise some capital for a new site I am launching soon.

The site is one of the top sites out there for its niche. I dominate the search engines for thousands of search terms and any time I add a new page it gets indexed within a week or so by google and usually ranks within the first 3 pages in google.

There are tons of myspace resource sites surfacing all the time but they all go away quickly because they have no standing in the search engines, or only build their traffic through spamming myspace which dissapates quickly. This site is very solid and different from those "come and go sites" in that it gets almost all the traffic directly from the search engines due to its authority status for many competitive keywords ("Funny Myspace Graphics" for example). I have never made much of an attempt to promote the site in any way other than adding new graphics to the site and getting more indexes and therefore more natural traffic.

This site was very recently an authority site for the term "Myspace Graphics", but since I haven't been doing much with the site I'm down to the top of page 3. With just 1 or 2 quality links for that term from another authority site or 2 those rankings would come back within 2 weeks.

Here are some popular page one keywords:

myspace page graphics

funny myspace graphics
myspace stickers

myspace posters
myspacegraphics
funny graphics for myspace

There are hundreds and hundreds of page one terms, but those are some of the most competitive ones.

 

Traffic & Pageviews:

Traffic is between 5-7k per day

Pageviews are between 25k-40k per day

 

The reason for the high variance is because it depends on if I put Nabbr on every page or not. If Nabbr is only on the home page then I get around 40k pageviews per day, but since its really annoying it hurts the pageviews, but it makes alot of money so I keep it up.

Side Notes:

Most sites like this get all of their traffic through referrals from myspace, hi5 etc... I haven't even tried to market directly through myspace... only SEO and I did do some adsense campaigns because I found a way to get $.01 clicks.

I used to sell text links for $50 per month and made another $500 per month off of that but I got rid of them because I wanted to promote my own sites.

Updating the site is insanely easy, all you have to do is name files and upload them to certain directories and the custom PHP coding will do the rest for you and generate a SEO optimized page for that graphic.

I am looking for offers in the xx,xxx range

Questions to the Seller

  1. Just thought i would note that the reason there is a dip in traffic/revenue on Aug 29,30, & 31 is because I was experiencing server problems. Basically my tech tried to install CURL and ended up hosing PHP completely, so the server was down quite a bit during that time.

    sure i will set that up asap.

    rob: thanks for the support I'm glad you were happy :)

    min: it was a PR0 when I bought it, it has nothing to do with the sites ranking in google, traffic, or revenue. I would guess it got that way because of Text Link Ads, google doesn't like sites that sell links.

  6. Again - If anyone wants to know the previous site he sold inclucing the sitepoint link I will be happy to give you that. The site I bought was low PR rank becuase of text link ads but that has not affected traffic or google SEO etc.

  12. What's the cost of the CPC campaigns you're running?

  13. I did some tests with CPC but never pursued it as a real source of traffic since I don't get that much money per visit off the site itself. I was trying to see if I could get the CPC low enough and my conversions high enough to make money from it but I didn't find it to be a good way to promote a site like this. There shouldn't be any active CPC campaigns running, I will take a look though.
