Selling a PR6 Humor site for General Audiences! Motivated seller

[g-wash]

Hi Guys,

I am selling Sillyanimalpictures.com which has been around for nearly 2 years.

My reason for selling is:
#1- My partner and I are going seperate ways and we are unloading this site.

#2- I am no longer interested in running this site. I like to put my full heart into
a site and if I cannot I feel I am wasting money and a very talented site.

I am knowledgeable about quality websites and ones with potential and this one has
a bunch of it.

Let me tell you a little about it:

-SAP has over 100 UNIQUE and exclusive flash ecards made by my team for the site.
{That alone is worth over 4k at $40 per card}. These ecards can be used for an affiliate
program such as 00fun.com or funnyreign.com's to gain traffic to the site.

-The domain has a PR of 6. Most of its traffic comes from the SE's.
STATS: www.sillyanimalpictures.com/stats
The site normally gets over 2000 unques a day with a daily newsletter being sent
out. I have been neglecting to send out the newsletter do to my non-interest in the
site.

The site is ranked
#1 on google and yahoo for
Funny Animal Pictures
Cute Animal Pictures
Cute Animal Pics


Earnings for the site are about $200 month.
Mainly from Fastclick, Tafmaster and Shareasale.
This can easily be risen with the right marketing tactics and more traffic.

- The site also has a mailing list of over 150,000 subscribers that Ive collected
from the site and bought some large co reg orders.


The site has a lot of potential for someone who has the drive and knowledge of how
to take a good thing and make it great.

The funny pictures on the site are not owned by me. They are believed to be public
domain.

Sillyanimalpictures.com is very interactive with the users because it is visited
by animal lovers who mostly all own pets. They love sending in Pics of their own
pets and when they see them posted on the net they tell their friends about the site.


I am a motivated seller and want to get this deal done within the next week. Please
write and ask the questions you might have.

I would like to hear some offers on the site. Please email them or post. Whatever
you are more comfortable with.
Please email me at: [email protected]

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Gerry

I dont think it is correct to think they are of public domain

[jimthefiend]

...They are believed to be public

oh man

[EscortBiz]

Worth nothing more then $2K

[Brad Xtremepay]

How much are you asking?

[g-wash]

Yes, technically they are not owned by me.

The site has been up nearly 2 years with those pictures on it with no problems.

If we would ever get a cease and desist letter about a picture they would be removed right away. We just never got any letters of that kind. A lot of people get a kick out of having their pictures on the net.

EscortBiz,

Can you post your thoughts on why you would think the Value is so low?

The original content alone is worth much more than 2k, the site is #1 on google for several terms, it has over 350 sites linking to it. With the right promotion and marketing you have a great product here.

Brad Xtremepay:

I am asking around 5k but am flexible. I am open for all offers that are of a serious nature.


Thanks -

Here is what will happen you will get a few emails and so on of so called "very interested" people and money is not the issue. At the end they will all vanish.

Serious buyers look at what you are doing now, between your hits and your monthly income 2K is decent.

I know its upsetting but this is the fact.

[g-wash]

I respect your opinion.

I hope thats not the facts with the buyers.

But, this site might be just what someone is looking for.

Keep the offers coming guys. I'm motivated to sell.

Happy Holidays-

[Brad Xtremepay]

Woah. Yeah I don't think the site is worth anything near that. $200 a month you claim in revenue.
So actual $100 in revenue, $50 in operating expenses. That is like 10 years to make the investment back.

[sandman!]

Not even worth 2k

Hey if it can work for consumption junction, and all the fools here support them - why not animals?

[g-wash]

If i were you, i'd take $2k if offered it.

If you think the content is worth $4k, why don't you approach an existing e-card type site and try to do a deal with them for it?

[g-wash]

Very Smart Richard,

Thats a simple suggestion but I hadn't thought of it.

Thanks for the tip.

Take care-

G-wash

[ThunderBalls]

I'll give ya $2000 for it. If you're interested let me know and I'll email you.

[Theo]

$4k it's too much for reasons you do not want me to analyze here :-) I see you have $2k offer,looks very good to me.

[Theo]

to potential buyers,take off the fastclick popup,it only causes problems and do not generate real income

thats no gooood

[g-wash]

Thanks for some serious offers guys! I appreciate it.

I am going to let this thread sit up here for a bit and see some more responses.

[g-wash]

The current high bid is $2500.

Just want to note that whoever buys this site will have my help with it for as long as it takes for them to get it down and feel comfortable with running the site.

Its not hard at all but I will be there to answer any questions that may arise.

Take care,

Gerry

[g-wash]

still considering offers people! Send in them all.

[slapass]

Take the $2500 as they are over paying. 12 months times revenue is a very good #.

[g-wash]

new high bid is $2700!

Looks good so far -

Im going to be selling it off tonight.

Any last questions, just ask -

G-wash

still selling ?
i'll contact you - lets talk.

[CDSmith]

I've always understood that the standard when selling a business of any kind usually follows the "six months rule"....

profit x 6 months = value.


In this case, the value looks to be about $1000 give or take, so getting offered close to 3 times that figure is all gravy from where I sit.

[Oracle Porn]

Ill give you $350

[Rick Latona]

I'm interested and I sent you an email.

[g-wash]

Sold it for $2500 -


Had quite a few offers and went with the one I felt could do the most with the site.

[Brad Xtremepay]

Someone has too much money on their hands.
Can you please email me the buyers contact info? I have a bunch of investment opportunities for him/her.

[g-wash]

Brad,

The Adult Industry and the General Humor Industry are 2 different ball games.

The buyer already has a successful humor site and is using the exlusive content/site to compliment his already successful business.

So, I would have to say it was a perfect move for him.

very true, most non adult sites want 24 to 36 months rev, breaks their heart when I only give em 6 to 12 months.
