Help With my Dilemma on Selling my Website
- SEO |
Hello,
One of my sites is coming up to be 1 year old this June.
It's not a thin site by any means, and like all the websites I make, it is an authority site with 200 pages of content and really quality information.
The site is a PR 2, was unaffected by Panda or Penguin (rankings increased after these updates) and I see a solid base of links to my site from really authority sites in my niche such as national colleges and universities.
It's a career niche, and the site is about information on the career training and the career itself.
The site is ranking on the first page for a lot of major keywords and long-tail keywords as well for Google Canada. Google USA as well, but rankings are better for Canada. However, traffic is low.
Problem #1
I'm currently getting about 50-70 visitors a day. The main keyword I'm targeting for Google USA gets about 10,000 searches a month. After Panda and Penguin, I finally made it to #7 on Google.com. I was #2 on Google Canada for a long time before that and still am, but the same keyword only gets 500 a month in Canada.
Problem #2
I was monetising with adsense and was making very little from this site. Maybe about $6-12 a month.
----------------
Now, obviously I have put a lot into this site. I have written all the content myself and did all the work to get the backlinks from top authorities in my niche. (simple emails and asking them to take a look at the site and put a link on their link page if they think it will be of value to their audience).
However, I want to just sell the site now. From what I told you, would you agree that it will be difficult to even get $1000 from Flippa buyers?
I know a lot of them just look for sites that they can take over and make money from right away.
Once again, traffic - 50-70 people a day. About 1500-2000 uniques a month.
Traffic is mainly from Google. With adsense, makes $6-12 a month.
I wanted to ask people here first before I list on Flippa. I have the feeling that if I list this site up, unless a really dedicated internet marketer sees the potential value of it, I'm going to see really low bids. Before paying the 20 bucks to list it, I wanted to just see what the Warriors thought.
Thanks so much. I know it was a long post. I look forward to your responses.
